Our Wedding Album Designs
November 2nd, 2007 @ 6:01 pm by Mrs. Bell Pepper
Our photographer gave us a preview of our wedding designs a few days ago, they look great! As part of our wedding package, we ordered two flush mount albums similar to our engagement guest book. One of the albums will be given out as a Christmas gift to my parents. I can’t wait to see the final results!
These are just a few of our favorite layouts from both the family and master albums designed by our photographer Nicole Polk. (click to enlarge any photo)

Yesterday I had my last call of the month and I’m sooo exhausted.. I told Mr. BP that I really need something to look forward to so I can keep truckin’ along for the rest of the year. I did a bit of research online for the entire month and I think I found the perfect cure for my intern blues:

Saucy Gingko Leaf Dish
September 24th, 2007 @ 9:31 am by Mrs. Bell Pepper
I lose things all the time and Mr. Bell Pepper has told me that I should get a ring holder in addition to our orbs for each room of our condo, heh! 
I went shopping at Crate and Barrel a few weeks back and found this cute bronze ginko leaf dish for $5.95. It’s supposed to be used for sauces and as a chopstick rest, but you can also use this as a dish to secure your rings while you’re cooking, showering, etc. I went back to the store to get more today and they were all out! But they are still available on Crate and Barrel’s website.
