Ok so there might be some new people joining us for the Weekend Wrap-Up today who don’t know me very well, so I’m just going to put it out there again for some who may not know:  I LOVE surprises!  All the variations of a surprise – being surprised, surprising other people, helping other people plan elaborate surprises.  Nothing makes my heart beat faster than a good ol’ surprise!  And of course one of the best versions of the surprise is a surprise marriage proposal!!  Gahhhhh my pulse is accelerating just thinking about it!  One of Ben’s closest friends Randall has been planning for MONTHS to ask his high school sweetheart and girlfriend of 6 years to marry him, and Ben and I got to be a part of his scheming!  The day finally arrived, and everything went just as Randall planned!  He got down on one knee while ice skating around the Christmas tree at PPG Place in Pittsburgh, and the only word for the entire thing is MAGICAL.  It was perfect!!  Chelsey had no idea what Randall was planning, and of course she said YES!  Congratulations you two, so excited and happy for you!  I’m glad I stopped jumping up and down enough to capture these moments for you! :)

 

Between baking, and Christmas parties, and marriage proposals, this weekend was filled with all kinds of great memories!  In the midst of all the holiday festivities, Ben and I even got the chance to have our own photoshoot at our cabin with the wonderfully talented Allison Ewing Photography!  Allison is one of my very first CKP Coaching students, and I can’t even put into words how proud I am of her!  She has come so far in her photography skills, and it was exciting to be on the other end of her camera :)  I am definitely planning on sharing our whole session with you guys, but I included a sneak peek from her Facebook page!  Scroll down a bit and you can check it out!  HAPPY MONDAY!!!!  It’s Christmas week, so you better be smiling!  There’s so much to celebrate!

 

 

See what I mean?!  Magical!

Allison posted some sneak peeks from our photoshoot at the cabin!  We had a blast, I just love these so much!!

Some of the fun at my Aunt Lulu’s Christmas party, what a great time gathered with family!

 

I am selling the lot of green glass pieces that I used for my wedding centerpieces! Approximately 161 pieces of various sizes, ranging from very small votive-sized glasses to large vases. Some were used to hold candles at the wedding, a few pieces have candles still in them.  $250 for the entire collection, available for pick up in the Youngstown, Ohio area.  If local, I can also deliver to you!  Here are pictures of the entire lot so you can see the variety of pieces included, as well as photos from my wedding of what they looked like as table centerpieces. Perfect for use at a wedding or event, and the glass made for a very unique style! Email me at carlyn@carlynkphotography.com if you are interested!
