Majestic Beasts

My WW tells me all the time that I'm such a true Leo. Now, as much as I embrace my inner feline, I have to say that I am the most laid back leo there is :-) According to zodiac this is how they "categorize" us Leos, and for the most part it is true. EXCEPT that I don't have a flair for drama and I dont like the spot light. I'm more of a behind the scenes person......

So this is what they say about us:

Leo

The Lion is considered the king of the jungle, and likewise you Leos have an air of royalty about you. Some Leos even have hair resembling the thick mane of the Lion (Seriously my hair color right now actually resembles a lion) But Lions are more than roar, for they are truly magnificent beasts. The Lioness proudly cares for the young, hunts and takes care of survival with relentless intent and ferocity, when needed. And proud are you Leo! Perhaps that's why Leo often chooses work that puts you in the center of stage or in the spotlight of appreciation (Soooooo not me)Leo are warm of spirit, eager for action and are driven by a desire to be loved for what you bring to others. Leo are a magnanimous leader and a faithful servant. Once scorned in love, however, Leo will withdraw your affections and the light, once brilliant, can go cold. (When I love, I love HARD) 
You tend to live your live straightforwardly and with a flair for drama (Not this leo, I stay far from drama. Im talking about running to the other side of the street to get away, when I see it coming. Better yet, i stop it in its tracks) In fact, many Leos are attracted to the theater, the performing arts and public relations, for you truly understand the importance of putting on a good presentation (This is so freaking true). As you blaze gloriously through your life, remember to take time to acknowledge the feelings of those around you. If you forget, you could unconsciously hurt someone you love. But, if you remain aware your impact, others can benefit from your presence.

Element: Fire

Fifth House: Children

Key Planet: Sun

So why am I rambling about Leos? Because of this breath taking picture I found.

Isnt he GORGEOUS. His fiery mane is a perfect personification for this wild beast.

So what are your thought on Leos?

Vintage Love

OMG, its been wayyyyyyyy to long since I did a post. What's up with that. So this is the deal I've had a lot things going on over these past months and I didn't make this a priority. I"m sooooooo SORRY. So from now on I'm going to try something new and get a lil personal with you guys so you can see what goes on in the life of Ms K. This is a rare treat because contrary to what they say about Leos I'm not one for the spotlights. I'm more of a behind the scenes kind of girl.

So going forward not only will be sharing with you what's going on with EMD but also what's going on with the creative mind behind EMD. First I'll start off with what EMD has in the works. Valentine's Day has come on gone, but I was so inspired by old love so I decided to work on a piece that will capture the love of an old love letter. My Work-Wife (WW) loved this idea. Lol you will be hearing alot about her in these posts........... So in my head I've envisioned this beautiful young Madam during the Victorian Era sitting at her vanity table writing a love letter to her lover. And I came across these charms, on Etsy.com of course, that will be perfect as my embellishments.

How cute are these antique gold mirror and comb charms with rhinestone accents!!! Uhmmmm let's just say that I'm still WAITING to receive them...UHGGGGGGG. Biggest mistake I did, which was that I didn't check to see where they were being shipped from........ALL THE WAY FROM HONG KONG!!!!. I'm running out of patience, but I know the wait will be worth it and I know you will absolutely  love the end result. So stay tuned..................................

Greatest Father Daughter Dance Medley Ever!

More reasons to go with the clutch:

(1) As a bride this option will make you stand out even more as you can choose to be the only one carrying a bouquet. (2) Giving your girls clutches can double as their bridesmaid gifts and you can even write a heartfelt thank you note and put inside. thsi will make them feel even mroe honored sharing this day with you.

9.10.11

9/10/2011, thats when my beautiful cousin of a bride married her prince. With love in the air and it being a sunny beautiful day, the wedding programs were the perfect touch to the outdoor event.

Fan-style program made with durable cardstock paper with the front panel accented with a rhinestone. this also served as a keepsake for the guests. Fan-style programs are also great for beach themed weddings or any outdoor event.
