2009 was hard for many people (so many of my close friends lost their jobs), and I felt fortunate to be able to build my business this year and do what I love. Some of my favorite highlights of the year would have to be:

Attending the inaugural meeting of the B-List in New York (and eating Katz’s pastrami for the first time… drool).

Getting Featured on Snippet & Ink for Carissa & Dwight’s wedding.

Getting my DIY tips from the same wedding on Style Me Pretty.

Having our pink beach themed wedding featured on Brides.com.

Being mentioned in Destination Weddings Magazine as one of their favorite wedding blogs.

Working with some awesome brides with their own unique style (viva la paisley).

Increasing my blog traffic 75%.

Producing and designing my first brochure, all letterpress and made by hand.

Attending Bridal Market Week in New York and going to Monique Lhuillier and Vera Wang (and especially sitting front row at Vera!).

Attending the Martha Stewart 15th Anniversary Party, meeting Abby of Style Me Pretty, the crew from Sunday Suppers, hanging with Ms. Perfect Bound and eating Morimoto’s sushi (sooo good).

And of course, the most recent big event, moving into a house (goodbye apartments!) and finally getting a dog. I’m looking forward to an even more successful 2010! Happy New Year’s Eve!
