A charming young lady celebrated her graduation with loved ones at H.o.T Designs Studio this weekend. We included this thoughtfully designed basic backdrop, which was inspired by her not-so-basic, sweet personality. May God grant her a prosperous and bright future--so bright that His Glory will shine!

At H.o.T Designs, we prioritize understanding our clients to create personalized designs that reflect their unique character, resulting in a truly special celebration.

We literally had 2 back to back events two weekends in a row, 2 conferences, a Mothers Day Dinner, and a wedding reception, and let me tell y'all something 'bout the God we serve!!! Prayer makes all the difference in the world!!!

Michelle with her 61 year old self and Lou Lou with her 75 year old self did a thing!! Nay with her 60 year old self had to work, but showed up, and did her thing right after leaving her 9 to 5. And thank you, Tori Lynn for the use of your vehicle and stepping in to help without being asked. You can't tell me God doesn't have His hand on us!!

I ain't even gonna lie; for a hot second I was worried, then I remembered to look to the hills from where our help comes...and instantly, His peace fell on me.

Long story short, all four events were amazing...

Moral of the story: With Christ, anything is possible, so don't write yourself off because you're getting older. Write a new chapter...we did. 😉

We will be down one man this weekend because one of us will be on a much needed cruise😁; not to mention, we have two events on Saturday.

Thanks, cousin Stacey for showing up to learn how to put together a basic 2-tiered backdrop in record time (Yes we time ourselves🤭). When time is of the essence, practice makes perfect...
