M&Co Papery - Downtown Mesa

Last week I took some pictures for my friend Marlene, who owns M&Co Papery in Mesa. If you haven't been to this shop, you must go. They have the most amazing stationary, paper, and custom invitations. I love walking in there and drooling over all the fun paper.

Marlene needed a picture of her taken for her website, so while I was there I took some pictures of the fun things in her store.

Make sure that you stop by and say hi to her... you won't be disappointed.

Price Kong Golf Tournament at Ocotillo Golf Club

My husband works in accounting and works for a firm named Price Kong. They are located in Phoenix and are wonderful! They just had a fundraiser Golf Tournament on Friday and I sponsored one of the holes and took pictures of all the golfers. I also donated a portrait session to their raffle to help raise money for the fundraiser. It was a fun day and I had a great time taking pictures.

For those of you who were at the tournament, if you would like to see more of the pictures you can go to my online viewing store. You will need to create a new account and then once you log in you will see a link for Price Kong. All of the pictures are in there are are available for purchase if you would like.

I created some really fun postcards that I now have in the office as well.



It was fun to see all the different golfers come out.












Some had great games and were happy!!


Others got a little more frustrated:)!



They all had a great time!


They celebrated the Friday away from the office!











My husband even joined in the fun. He loves golf!



I had a great time!!! Thanks for letting me participate!

Helping the community....An Auction.

I really believe that it is important to support and help our community and I really try to do as much as I can to help out.

Dan and Kristin Albers, from Domestic Bliss, contacted me awhile back to let me know about a family that was in a horrible plane crash in August. They have a ton of medical expenses and need the community's help in order to recover from this accident.

On October 18th, Domestic Bliss of Mesa Arizona, will be hosting a Nie Recovery Carnival Style Fundraiser as part of their Fall Blissfest. Part of the festivities will include a silent auction.

They asked if I would help out and donate something for an auction and of course I said that I would help out.

I am donating a portrait session and a $150 credit for prints. If you would like to bid on this all you have to do is go to the Nielsen Auction Blog and bid on the session. This item is worth $450 so be as generous as you can to help this family! I will not be taking any of the money... all money will be paid directly to the Nielsen Fund.

I will also have a few more auctions that I will be doing to help other families this fall. Please stay tuned for more information about them.
