I used to do a week in review… as much fun as it was, it was extremely time consuming & took over my life.  Instead, I decided to just point out my favorites from the week that I thought I would share.  There’s no minimum or maximum… some are from photographers, some are from designers, some are from inspirational blogs.  It’s of everything that catches my eye.  Here are my faves from the week.

Eat Drink Chic : love this board.  The colors are super cute.

The TomKat Studio : I love the details from this party.  So pink.  Are you surprised?

 

Wiley Valentine : Who doesn’t love pom-pom’s?

 

The Inspired Bride :: the colors… need I say more?

 

These are just a few of my favorites… what are yours?

What? Back-to-back Twenty-Ten’s?  I apologize for this too being delayed.  it was my intention to have this up on Saturday, but I unfortunately have been bed-ridden & banned from my blackberry & laptop.  My 6-year-old son got sick inthe process. Oh, how I remember how sick days were rather pleasant, since I was getting paid to “rest”.  Unfortunately, now, sick days means a stoppage to the blog… sorry, all!  Anyway, here are my favorites for April 10 – April 16.

* I love this Inspiration to Creation feature on Eat Cake Be Merry on the Lolliblog.

* Having a destination wedding?  Get some paper good inspiration for that type of event from Inspired Goodness.

* I can never get enough of Rock ‘N Roll Bride‘s Thursday Treats!

* You have to go to Lotus Haus to see the Easter wonderland tea party she put together.

* I love me a good dessert table, and I love saving money at the same time, so check out It’s A Jaime Thing to see some dollar-saving tips on how to create an inexpensive way to put together your own dessert table.

* You know how much I love black + white, so you have to see the b+w cakes found by Polka Dot Bride.

* My jaw dropped when I saw this green, raspberry & damask dessert table featured on the Hostess Blog.
