Want to have a real blast? You could plan a regular, run of the mill cocktail party or… you could ask yourself, “What would Don Draper do?” He would start shaking up the dirty martinis, pulling out the ashtrays and stack the turntable with some Vic Damone and Rosemary Clooney of course!

Is personal correspondence destined to go the way of the dinosaur? I guess it’s really up to us or better yet, our children. Technology is a wonderful thing. We all use it and reap the benefits but it isn’t the perfect fit for all of our cultural conventions. I think there is a place at [...]
The meek may inherit the earth but make no mistake…divas rule it! Just ask them! At least on this special night of Cooper’s 9th birthday!

Well, we decided to take the plunge! On June 27th I married John Owens on a swelteringly hot and humid Arkansas afternoon. Once we decided to “do this thing,” we didn’t waste any time pulling it together. So… In the midst of selling two homes, one (mine) that the show “Hoarders” might have been interested [...]

It’s always a little nerve wracking when you are being interviewed for an article! Thankfully Suzanne Pruitt with GREETINGS made the process pain free. We have been [...]
Summer is here! Children everywhere are ready to tackle the nearest playground or swimming pool. Another school year completed. I remember that feeling of accomplishment and pride and couldn’t wait for summer to arrive so I could boast my “new” grade designation. I would like to introduce you to a special group of children that [...]
New York…. Well, there isn’t anywhere else quite like it. It is now a week since I’ve been back from the National Stationery Show and I’m finally feeling somewhat normal.
