I love decorating my home. February is special because not only do we have a day to celebrate love, it is also the month of my anniversary. Che and I will be celebrating 7 years of being married and 8 years together.
Here is my living room decor:
And here is a closer look at the different sections:
Many of my decorations this year were found at Michaels for 40 – 50% off!
Here is my dining room:
This past weekend I had the chance to visit my hubby who is acting in his first film called "The Public." We hadn't seen each other in two weeks so we had an amazing time:

I have a love for color, flowers, design, food and details. I have been fortunate enough to plan a wide variety of events ranging from seated dinner receptions for 400 people to weekend trips to Seaside, FL to rehearsal dinners for 70 people. During my 5 years in the event world, I have seen a lot and had a blast!
Since I am using this blog entry to toot my own horn, I think it is only fair to tell you about a situation that could have easily put an end to my event planning career. (If you are considering hiring me for your next event, please do not hold the below situations against me. The good news is, I lived to tell about it and every event has gone off just as the client dreamed).
It was summer of 06 and I was so excited about my idea for a family crawfish boil for a company outing. I had the dream of tents, moonwalks, snow cone machine, a back yard band and tables covered with crawfish and potatoes.....so much fun, right. Mistake one... I continued to send out emails to the host calling the event a crawfish "broil." I was quickly corrected that "broil" is something you do with an oven and "boil" is what you did to crawfish. To tell you the truth, I let this little hiccup go by....surely the invitation shop would have corrected me if I had carried the word "broil" that far. Looking back, I am thankful I didn't depend on the invitation store to correct this spelling mistake...hell they let me pick out an invitation with a huge lobster on it instead of a crawfish. What can I say....I am not a "sucking the head and eating the tail" kind of girl...how was I suppose to know. Everyone got a huge kick out of my lobster invitation for a crawfish "boil" and my RSVP list was filling up. Last but not least, it was time for me to pre-order my crawfish for the event.....WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME YOU CAN NOT BUY FRESH CRAWFISH DURING THE MONTH OF AUGUST?? My crawfish/lobster boil because a shrimp boil after all...but all in all everyone had a blast! The host family volunteered to have the company outing at their house again the next year if I promised to plan it.
With all this being said, if you know of anyone who needs a full event/wedding planner, an event consultant or the day of the event/wedding coordinator, please keep me in mind. I am so thankful for the variety of experiences I have gotten from the many, many events I have planned and I cannot wait to hit the ground running with gather's first client.

Shorpy is funded by you. Help by purchasing a print or contributing. Learn more.
Our holdings include hundreds of glass and film negatives/transparencies that we've scanned ourselves; in addition, many other photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs) in the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) They are adjusted, restored and reworked by your webmaster in accordance with his aesthetic sensibilities before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here. All of these images (including "derivative works") are protected by copyright laws of the United States and other jurisdictions and may not be sold, reproduced or otherwise used for commercial purposes without permission.
Vintage photos of:
Washington, D.C., 1940. "No caption." Which is just as well, because the picture tells all we need to know: Hoboken and Nebraska are right where they should be. This might be good fodder for a caption-writing contest (or, for the Photoshoppers among us, thought-balloon contest). For the record, what we have here seems to be the winner of the 1940 National Spelling Bee. Details in the comments. Harris & Ewing Collection glass negative. View full size.
I know Eleanor (Shea) Walsh very well. When I saw the photo, I contacted her son, who is a priest in Nebraska. He said it is his mom. She is now in a nursing home in Nebraska. She's a wonderful lady.
At least I'm pretty.
in the middle, just having won with the correct rendering of "Expea......." (help! men can't spel)
Enjoying the Shorpy humour here.

What, boys can't spell? Just wait till the math competion.
You'll be able to smell the testosterone in the air!
Second place: Elizabeth O'Keefe of Hoboken, N.J.
Third place: Eleanor Shea of Omaha, NE.
In 1949 in Omaha, an Eleanor Shea married future candidate for governor and seventeen-year state-court judge Albert Walsh (1926-2009). They became the parents of twelve children. According to his obituary, she survived him when he passed away. I wonder whether she may still be with us.
(As for the victor, Laura Kuykendall of rural Cookeville TN, married Jacob Mullins. They became the parents of five children. He died in 2001 at age 81, and she died three years later.)
Look at all the greasy fingerprints on that trophy!
Ya gotta love that smug expression on Miss Hoboken.
If I may ask an obvious question, how come one girl represents a city while the other represents an entire state? Is it like the American League vs the National League? Were there also a couple of other contestants in this competition with signs hanging around them that read "New Jersey" and "Omaha?"
Plaque, p-l-a-q-u-e, plaque
That the winning word was THERAPY, what does that say about how things have gone since?
On their minds ...
Yikes! Ha ha.

This photo was taken in the National Press Club. The carpet on the wall behind the three girls is woven with the Press Club's logo. What's intriguing to me is that the border of this carpet identifies it as a Chinese export carpet, probably woven in Tientsin in the 1920s or 1930s. The border is composed of traditional Chinese Daoist art motifs known as the "Eight Precious Things," associated with the ideal scholarly life. One of those motifs is the beribboned set of books next to Lauren Kuykendall's head. The Press Club could have ordered the custom carpet from the Walter Nichols carpet company in Tientsin through his American distributor, the Pande-Cameron Carpet Company. Here is a detail of the Press Club's logo, and a diagram of the Eight Precious Things from Adolf Hackmack's "Chinese Carpets and Rugs," published in Tientsin in 1923.
Not thrilled. Her first experience of the bridesmaid syndrome.

The 1940 National Spelling Bee was sponsored by the Louisville (Kentucky) Courier-Journal, which organized the first contest in 1925. Miss Nebraska is perhaps the decorated veteran of previous bees. The 1940 winner was Laurel Kuykendall of Knoxville, Tennessee, and the winning word was "therapy."

Jimmy Phillips believes new Bolton manager Dougie Freedman will inherit a side brimming with talent and restored confidence.
Former Wanderers defender Phillips ends a successful stint as caretaker boss with a trip to another of his old clubs Middlesbrough on Saturday, before official handing over the reins to Freedman, whose arrival from Crystal Palace was confirmed on Thursday.
A 3-2 comeback win over Bristol Rovers last weekend, followed by Mark Davies' injury-time leveller in the 2-2 midweek draw at Wolves has seen Phillips steady a squad that was floundering with 11 points from their first 10 npower Championship games when Owen Coyle was dismissed before the recent international break.
"He'll have the players in a more confident frame," said the 46-year-old. "The players' minds are much at ease.
"Going into the Wolves game they were very professional, put in a good performance and built on what they'd started against Bristol City.
"I think he's inheriting a team that like to get the ball down, pass it along the floor and create opportunities that way."

While waiting around to get our hands on the Asus R2H we spotted these beauties. These were part of a leather-clad designer series of laptops and mice, which we've talked about before.
The mice aren't as practical as the laptops. Leather coated in palm sweat is going to smell worse than a Kansas feed yard after a rain-storm. At least the laptops looked nice. Very slick and very "luxury." Are we entering a new era in design where the guts of a laptop matter much less than the look and feel? Talk amongst yourselves.

The day Robert Bozeman Jr. was shot in the head was supposed to be a fun night out with a couple of co-workers at the grand opening of a Cutler Ridge nightclub.
It was Friday night, Feb. 27, 2005, and the then 21-year-old had just gotten paid. He went home, dressed in his red-white-blue Fila outfit and hopped in his friend's car. When they arrived, there were dozens of people in line.
Bozeman's memories of the night end there. He woke up five days later from a coma in the hospital. From what he has been told, he was shot in the head with an AK-47 and was found lying in the middle of U.S. 1 by street sweepers.
Bozeman had to relearn how to walk and talk. But he didn't let his challenges stop him.

He began speaking about his experience and enrolled in Miami Dade College, where he earned an associate's degree in mass communication. He then enrolled in the communication arts program at Florida International University. On Monday night, he graduated and was recognized for his accomplishments.
"It has been a long road," said Bozeman, who wants to write a book about his experiences. "This is a really big day for me."
Every semester, FIU selects several students who have beaten the odds and graduate as part of its Worlds Ahead recognition. For the fall commencement ceremonies, which run through Tuesday, 24 students out of 4,600 graduates were recognized.
Students from all around South Florida are graduating this week. On Thursday, the University of Miami will hold a ceremony for its 1,000 graduates.
"When we have individuals who have overcome incredible odds we like to recognize them," said FIU President Mark Rosenberg, just before the Monday night ceremony, where he planned to recognize Bozeman and two other Worlds Ahead graduates in front of about 5,000 people. "His story can give hope to other people."
Bozeman, who grew up in Miami, graduated from Miami Norland Senior High School in 2002 with dreams of becoming a writer. He tried his hand at becoming a musician, but didn't really know how to accomplish his goals.
He ended up getting a job at AmericanAirlines Arena and was part of the crew that cleaned up after basketball games. When his co-workers asked him to go to the club, he was all for it.
"My family tried to get me to stay home," he recalled.
After the shooting, Bozeman said he struggled with depression. Doctors removed part of his skull because the bullet went in through the back of head and came out by his nose, he said. For years, he used a hat to cover his "deformed head."
He began speaking at rallies, colleges and universities about gun violence, because he said too many of his friends were dying from something that he survived.
With the help of his mother, who died in 2013, he enrolled in college and worked part time. In 2010, he had surgery to fix his skull, but Bozeman said he still struggles with memory issues and vision loss.
His sister Idris Bozeman, 36, said seeing her brother graduate is "truly amazing."
"The doctors told him he'd never walk or talk again," she said. "He proved them wrong and persevered."

For this card I tried something different. I have had a set of Distressed Inks in my stash for ages now and I keep getting them out and putting them back. I find them very scary lol! Anyway I decided to have a go at creating a background for this Pegasus. Not really sure it worked but I quite like it lol! The Image I coloured using ProMarkers and cut out with a Craft Knife. The Card Blank is a 6" Square and I used Pink and White Card to layer it up. The Sentiment I stamped using a Memento Tuxedo Ink pad and is from Inkylicious.

DeLand Senior High School's crowding problem, which caused officials to declare a state of emergency, should be solved by adding up to 15 new portables and waiting until a new high school in Deltona is complete, School Superintendent James Surratt said.
The high school currently houses about 2,500 students, 1,000 more than its design capacity, school board member Ohse Davis said. School Principal Chuck Williams said his school may have 600 more students by the time the Deltona high school is completed in 1988.
