The Bride and Her Shoes!

I'm absolutely fond of the choices available to the Bride in regards to footwear! I've never been a lace, frilly kind of girl, but when I look at this seasons designs of Badgley Mischka shoes, I'm excited to be a girl! The designs remind me of the classic, princess shoe with a modern twist! The Kiwi is one of my favorites! The open toe, petal accent adds a sexy, but sophisticated detail to a simple shoe. The Randall is a truly classic design that has a silk petal ornament at the toe; the perfect accent to a timeless design. With all the colors and rejuvenated styles any bride seen in a pair of these fancy foot creations will not only generate conversation, but add the perfect accent to her bridal attire. So, before you pick that basic satin white pump, step out of the box and look for a shoe that reflects your style and personality. Don't be scared, it's your day to shine!

The Holiday Season is Upon Us!

Can you believe Thanksgiving is two weeks away? I promised I would be consistent in my blog posting this year and like a few other New Year's resolutions....I have fallen short, but there is still time to redeem myself! I am officially in BLOG mode.
I love to entertain and create new looks for each gathering. That is going to be the premise of the blog moving forward. You will see me out shopping for events, gathering items for personal and client celebrations and events. You will also get to know me better. Learn about my favorite things and how I handle the stress of producing successful events. As my oldest son would say,"Never let them see you sweat!" But when you love what you do, it's never work......It's fun mixed with passion which equals making others smile and enjoy the moment. That's destiny! Isn't that what life is all about? Giving back and helping others. Let's do some great things this Thanksgiving Season!
Enjoy the day. I look forward to seeing more of you!

It's Been a While!

I think about blogging all the time........subject matters, pictures to upload and acquiring an audience that will desire to follow what I have to say on a daily bases....., but you have to do it "Blog" on a consistent bases in order to achieve that. Just like my "New Years Resolutions" (I set a few every year averaging one out of four!), but the objective for success is to be consistent. Now that we are officially half way through the year I have decided to pickup my goal book and focus on those dreams that I want to achieve by the end of the year.

All that being said, Look for me to blog on a regular bases and introduce you to Jennifer Jackson, my family and my great company, Jennifer's Event Management Company!

Until next time,
Jennifer

Social Networking...Are you in?

It's 12:13 pm. I've been on the computer since 8 am updating my Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin pages. I'm trying to come up with a system to keep up and stay in the know! All I wanted to do was, login in, update, read new post and get out, but that system is not working. The whole social networking world is a job in itself. New people are trying to connect to you, you want to connect with them and by the time you're done, it's lunch time and you haven't even looked at your current "To Do List"!

So what's a girl to do? I decided to give myself a time limit. Thirty minutes a day, before 9 am or after 9 pm! Will it work? I'm already putting myself out of Twitter world with those hours. I'll keep you posted.

Refreshed, Revived and Ready for 2009

As an event professional, you're always the one making sure all guest needs are met, confirming the rentals count hours before delivery and making sure the desserts are plenty! But every year there is an event for event professionals designed to spark your creativity, allows you to mingle among friends, make new ones and most important of all, enjoy the party. It's called The Special Event(TSE)!

TSE has been a vital asset to my business since my personal introduction in 2004. It brings together the best of the best from around the world in the event planning arena. This year I had the opportunity to participate in the table top competition (this is one of my favorite things to do!), and boy did I have a ball.

If there were a People's Choice Award for this competition my team would have won! Here are some pictures below!

Back into the swing of things!!!

Now that summer is practically behind us, day light savings time is approaching and my kids are back in school, I'm hoping to blog on a regular basis (I'm going to try). Events by JEM had a FABulous summer this year and we will be posting pictures of our events later on this month. Be sure to look for them!

Until then, I want to share pictures of my kids. They are growing so fast and I'm extremely proud of them. It's amazing how much my business carries over into their lives. They are all planners in their own way.

My oldest, Ejay(Too cool), Justin (Papa Love) and Jordyn (My Princess) are wonderful kids. Managing my schedule and theirs is a pretty hefty task, but I wouldn't change it for the world!

Where do I begin.....

I have to do a better job at posting to the Events by JEM blog on a regular basis! Time flies by, but I want you to know what we're doing when we're doing it.....not months later!

Spring has come and all most gone since we last spoke. We have been working on events, enjoying family time and planning for this summer.

Last week we were at the 2008 Bizbash Style Expo and Event Show. We stopped by one of our favorite linen vendors, Wildflower Linen to say Hi! That's me and Desiree having fun in the booth!

We also spent sometime with Celebrate Life Cancer Organization at there 1st Annual Golf Tournament. This event was amazing. Walmart sponsored the day on the Green and what a great celebration to be a part of.

Until next time, take care, plan a gathering and laugh with some friends!!
