Attention: South Sound Washington State Brides



For all the lovelies out there who wouldn't mind having their wedding paid for, this contest may be for you. I heard about it, and just wanted to pass it along. Please share with any brides you know in this area that might be interested. Don't forget, I design and create custom wedding jewelry for the bride and her party, within budget. I try to create pieces that will be worn long after the special day. SJD is currently featured in South Sound Wedding & Event Magazine's Spring/Summer 2012 issue.
 
Win a $20,000 Wedding at Tacoma Art Museum
Unique, interactive Bridal Bash is just the icing on the cake
 

TACOMA, WA – Tacoma ArtMuseum will be hosting two unique events tailored for brides and grooms on September 16 and 30. On September 16, teams of two will compete to win a $20,000 wedding at Tacoma Art Museum. The grand prize includes everything from the wedding dress and photography to flowers and a cake. On September 30, the museum will host a Bridal Bash – a one-stop-shopping experience for brides and grooms filled with local vendors who can help plan their wedding.

Couples participating in the “Create a Photobooth and Win a Wedding” contest will compete against one another to make the most creative photobooth backdrops that they can. Participants will be given the materials for the backdrop upon arrival at 10 am on September 16. They will then race against the clock to make their best photobooth backdrop. All entries will be voted upon and the winning couple will receive a $20,000 wedding to be held at the museum on September 30, 2012. A local wedding planner will help the lucky couple get everything in place before the big day. Entry fee for the contest is $15 per couple, $10 per person, and includes admission to Bridal Bash.
 
Everything necessary for the winning couple’s wedding will be provided to them by Bridal Bash vendors, including a dress and tuxedo, a photographer and videographer, cake, flowers, chairs and tables, and more. The winning couple will also be able to consult with a wedding planner in the two weeks prior to the big night. The ceremony will be held from 7-9 pm on the night of Bridal Bash for the winning couple and up to 100 of their guests. 
 
Bridal Bash is a unique, interactive experience for brides, grooms, friends, and family. The special day will feature a number of Tacoma’s top wedding vendors, all eager to help couples make their wedding dreams come true. The event will run from 2 until 9 pm in the lobby of TacomaArt Museum

Never Stop....NEVER!

Pinned Image
I love this pic of LoLo Jones, with that calm determination in her eyes, ready to fly down the track and take gold. Monday's bootcamp of mostly biceps and back had me already sore, but I dragged myself in today for triceps and chest. (There's always cardio and core thrown in for fun.) Wow, the arms were shaking. I barely drove home and combed my hair. But now I can type and bring my protein smoothie glass up to my mouth, so things are looking up.

If you want results, you have to have the drive to keep going, no matter what. It's hard, but it's worth it! And that works for anything you really care about in life, not just a workout or fitness goal. Any dream that you have that is worth pursuing, will take time, effort, and pure gut - guaranteed. You will think about quitting and want to give up. But winners never quit.

Just keep your eye on the prize!
