There has been a lot going here.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">First of all, I am in the process of renaming/rebranding Something Classic Events. I feel the name and brand I have now does not represent me and how I want my business to be portrayed. So, look for the new reveal this fall!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQWviM9jZLPGVFaI0ZvgGou3H8GX_9iVTdcGS6UhCy5Txu3SFVmWv5ykw" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQWviM9jZLPGVFaI0ZvgGou3H8GX_9iVTdcGS6UhCy5Txu3SFVmWv5ykw" t8="true" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Things are really starting to pick up now that wedding season is in full force. We have some new business hours that I want to make everyone aware of. Business hours are Monday - Thursday between 8am - 4pm. We are closed on New Year's Day, Birth of Martin Luther King, Jr., Washington's Birthday, Memorial day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. If one of these days falls on a Saturday or Sunday, we will be closed the next business day.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I hope after the 1st trimester it will go away. We are so excited and can't wait for our new addition.

My old coach cheer coach and teacher now teaches with my husband. When my husband was new to the district, he went to a BBQ to get the know the department. They were talking about spouses and he mentioned me. She blurted out "Danni?!?" So now, every now and then, he calls me Danni.

I think it is important to showcase and bring them to you (...if you are out there!). I know I am not the best writer, so by giving you access to these other articles, you can read what I really mean, even if I don't have the exact words to say it.<br />
<br />
So here are a few articles...<br />

I have felt out of the loop of blogging and plus, I am not sure how many people ready this, so I always put it on the back burner.<br />
I am going to try harder though and we'll see... maybe I'll be inspired.<br />
<br />
Anywho, I wanted to share this link with you: <a href="http://everylastdetailblog.com/2011/03/24/thursday-tips-5-things-to-know-about-vendors/">5 things to know about your vendors</a><br />

If someone has told you that you should have a planner? Do you want to know for yourself? Answer these simple questions and then you will know for yourself.<br />
<br />
<br />
• Do you (or your mom or your aunt) want to setup and teardown your wedding?<br />
<br />
• Do you (or your grandmother or your sister) want to run to the store when the bar runs out of liquor or ice?<br />
<br />
• Do you (or your sister in law or matron of honor) want be the contact person for the day of the wedding?<br />
<br />
• Do you (or your mother in law or bridesmaid) want to replenish napkins/cupcakes/popcorn when they run out?<br />
<br />
• Do you (or your maid of honor or friend) want to get on site 2 hours before the ceremony starts to make sure everything is being perfectly setup?<br />
<br />
• Do you (or your sister is law or mom) want to leave right after the rehearsal to go to your wedding site to make sure the tent is being setup properly?<br />
<br />
• Do you (your mom or your great aunt) want to know that your cake fell and the bakery only had 30 minutes to fix it?<br />
<br />
• Do you want your mom or friend or family member or invited guest-that-is-going-to-be-my-planner to worry that something is being taken care of the whole day?<br />
<br />
If you answered no to any of these questions, you need to hire a wedding planner, or at least a day of coordinator. If you think that your venue coordinator is going to take care of these things, then you are mistaken. They are there for the venue, not for you like a planner or coordinator would be.<br />
<br />
In addition,<br />
<br />
• Do you want a stress free wedding day?<br />
<br />
• Do you want to enjoy the wedding day with your friends and family?<br />
<br />
• Do you want someone to setup and teardown your wedding?<br />
<br />
• Do you want to have someone execute your wedding day how you envisioned?<br />
<br />
• Do you want someone to take charge of the event and your vendors?<br />
<br />
• Do you want your wedding to be one of the best days of your life?<br />
<br />
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need to hire a wedding planner. There are so many little details that go into your wedding day that you do not want to deal with. Instead of leaving it up to a friend or family member (who doesn’t know much about what goes into putting a wedding together or is unfamiliar with a BEO), why not hire someone (a professional) that can take care of those details so your guests can truly be guests? Wedding planners are able to offer you peace of mind and allow you to fully relax – so you can enjoy your day, and so can your family members and friends. <br />
<br />
Furthermore, I always tell my clients; don’t you want your family members and close friends to be with you while you are getting ready or having pictures taken or during cocktail hour? Can you imagine your mom (or friend or aunt) rushing to get lined up (or sit down) for the ceremony – she’s sweaty, flustered and isn’t able to focus on the ceremony because she is worried that she didn’t put a favor at each place setting? I am sure you don’t want anyone to feel that way, much less a family member or friend. Another tidbit, hire people you can sue or get mad at. Seriously. Do it. Do you want to ruin a relationship with a friend or family member because they didn’t set up your reception how you envisioned? Don’t think that will be you? It could be, so why take the chance. If you know you have a specific vision, it is even more critical to hire a planner to make sure your vision is executed (and you can get mad if it isn’t). <br />

Style Me Pretty and Couture Colorado has featured one of our weddings. The wedding took place last November in <a href="http://www.devilsthumbranch.com/">Devil's Thumb Ranch</a>. The bride incorporated many DIY and personalized details throughout the wedding. We were so honored to be the <a href="http://www.somethingclassicevents.com/">day of coordinator</a> for this wedding. <a href="http://www.brintonstudios.com/">Brinton Studios</a> took these amazing pictures!!

<br />
Pricing involves more than just setting a price - I factor in time, travel, guest number, venue, etc., and that doesn't even begin to name everything included to run my business such as marketing materials, advertising and much more.<br />
<br />
Below are a few articles about why planners cost what they do, definitely worth a read.<br />

Seven's is located at the base of peak 7 and it offers a beautiful view of the valley below. Their wedding was classic and chic, and an all around fantastic day. They were married on the deck of the restaurant over looking the mountains. It was stunning. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcY0p4-MDQXT_Lta3p5IYbTel0ZIQZZtkI8tgHLJ3Yi-9YP3j6l8PTnXRaYusJnmfFAV_YU8bIUZKIiqU93EClZOuxMHFbS2m1TIcG-oFjHzCq7s8dcOAF1UtafSWLBgXBN-41dUk-aJnH/s1600/344.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcY0p4-MDQXT_Lta3p5IYbTel0ZIQZZtkI8tgHLJ3Yi-9YP3j6l8PTnXRaYusJnmfFAV_YU8bIUZKIiqU93EClZOuxMHFbS2m1TIcG-oFjHzCq7s8dcOAF1UtafSWLBgXBN-41dUk-aJnH/s320/344.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

I am thankful for where I am and what I have. I am thankful for a warm house and food in my fridge, for friends and family, and for my business and clients.<br />

I am so fulfilled and grateful to everything I have. I think this thankful series has made me really think about what I have, as opposed to what I don't have. I am filled with joy and peace with where I am and where I am going.<br />

It doesn't mean feeling sorry for someone, it means genuinely caring for a person in such an intense way that you will do anything in your power to help them anyway you can. <br />
<br />
Being compassionate is an action - not just saying you are. It can be the simplest action of donating money to a charity - to see that there is someone in need and helping in a way you can. <br />
<br />
<em>It is lack of love for ourselves that inhibits our compassion toward others. If we make friends with ourselves, then there is no obstacle to opening our hearts and minds to others.</em><br />

Most people that know me know that I am all about instant gratification. When I want something, I want it now. Take for instance, I want to get an iPhone...badly. But I am waiting until, hopefully, it is available on Verizon. I cannot wait for this to happen and the anticipation is killing me!<br />
<br />
But I am thankful that I have something to anticipate, even if it is as silly as an iPhone. I'm sure there are people out there that are not looking forward to anything happening and I think that is truly sad. To have nothing to look forward to would not be a life I would want to live.<br />
<br />
Sometimes anticipation can help you just get through the day. I'm sure everyone has days where they have had enough - just the thought of getting home or going to dinner or the weekend - can drive you to finish the day.<br />
<br />
I also love that I can anticipate the future - especially with my business. I can't wait to see where I will be next year or in 5 years. It is going to be amazing!<br />
<br />
Today, I am thankful for anticipation.<br />
Goal: To be more in the moment and let the anticipation be there.

I can choose what I want to do, when I want to, where I want to..etc etc. There are many people that cannot make choices because of their finances, where they live, or who they live with. <br />
<br />
There is such freedom in making choices - I can make bad one and good ones, and learn from them so when I make another choice I can use my experience to determine what to do. <br />
<br />
I can choose the hard road or the easy road. <br />
<span class="sqq"><span style="color: black;"><u><em>“</em></u></span><a class="sqq" href="http://thinkexist.com/quotation/there_are_always_two_choices-two_paths_to_take/12779.html"><span style="color: black;"><em>There are always two choices. Two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.</em></span></a><span style="color: black;"><u><em>”</em></u></span></span><br />
I love this quote and it fits so well into this post. <br />
<br />
More than things, I can choose how I act and react, I can choose my attitude and I can choose my feelings. I can choose to be happy or sad, I can choose to forgive or not.<br />
<br />
I can choose to make my life how I see fit.<br />
<br />
Today, I am thankful that I can make choices in my life.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am so glad I know the value of hard work and what it means to work hard. Hard work is something that challenges and pushes you. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Lots of people will do what is easiest and avoid hard work. The superficial opportunities in life will be sought after by many, many people. The tougher challenges will have less competition but a lot more opportunity and gains. When you are challenged, you will see great rewards for your hard work. If you avoid hard work, you avoid doing what it takes to be successful. You will reach a higher level when you stop avoiding and fear hard work. You must be willing to work hard for what you want, it doesn't just fall into your lap. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You build your character by working hard. You make mistakes, learn from them and move forward. I read somewhere about what makes you embrace hard work and the answer was purpose. It went on to say that if you are living with purpose, hard work is not an issue. You know where you want to be and you have the determination to get there, and a little hard work doesn't deter you. If you have no purpose, you avoid hard work because it doesn't matter what you are doing so why would you work hard. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Purpose is the why and hard work is the how.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Today, I am thankful for hard work.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Goal: To work hard each make and make my purpose known to everyone.</div>Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07869420120075555575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120352474613855324.post-88373181344044469162010-11-20T08:00:00.000-07:002010-12-01T12:15:53.580-07:00Thankful Day TenToday, I am thankful for...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="93" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiIvCofmFm7DBIlSIYaO1D-WK8Qpq2XxTvlZv3Ok-6DC26dh5aiPm76wUnNE99FVjdjBPIlo30wcN1V5WA_-7-R14toEA01Uwml9p25O2ls5huc8iNlfjHSyn319kNNFA7Uu0wil97N01k/s320/thankful+day+10.jpg" width="320" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am truly thankful for forgiveness. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Forgiveness is given freely with no expectation of something in return or any exceptions. You may not forget what they have done, but you will not hold it against them anymore. You won't hold a grudge or use it against them when they are down.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To forgive is an act. You are acknowledging that you were hurt, and you may have to grieve as well. Then, just let it go and be done with it. Don't think about a way you can get back at them or what you can do to make it even, it will only continue to haunt you. By forgiving someone you choose to let go of it - not to get even, either with thought or deed. When you do that, you can be free and will be cease to be haunted by what it has done to you.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I would not be where I am right now without forgiveness - by me and by others. There will be people throughout your life that may disappoint you or that may need your forgiveness - friends, family and co-workers. Life is too short to not forgive.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><em>"Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future."</em> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Beverly Flanigan</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Today, I am thankful for forgiveness.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Goal: To be more forgiving in my life.</div>Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07869420120075555575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120352474613855324.post-3316778376987111242010-11-19T08:45:00.025-07:002010-12-01T12:15:33.056-07:00Thankful Day NineToday I am thankful for...<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am so thankful that I have had the opportunity to have another try. To have another chance to do it again and learn from my first mistake. I am so so thankful that I have been willing to give second chances to others - to let them learn and grow and give them another chance.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We aren't perfect, we are going to make mistakes and if we are given another chance, my hope is that you truly understand and take advantage of what you are given. There are times where you only get one shot and wish you could have a redo, but you are not able to. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As I grow and learn, I have tried to take advantage of the first chance I get - to act like I may not get another shot at this. To take advantage of each opportunity the first time it comes around, because it may never come around again.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A second chance is giving someone that has disappointed you in the past an opportunity to - hopefully - not disappoint you again. It takes courage and faith to give someone another chance because they may just end up disappointing you again. By giving someone a second chance, it tells a lot about the kind of person you are. They allow us the opportunity to show compassion and kindness, the opportunity to demonstrate our trust and confidence in others.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Is there is a person in your life that deserves a second chance? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Today, I am thankful for second chances.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Goal: To give someone in my life a second chance.</div>Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07869420120075555575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120352474613855324.post-12900222433812187572010-11-18T08:30:00.000-07:002010-12-01T12:15:11.757-07:00Thankful Day EightToday, I am thankful for...<br />
