Planning 2015
We are already in the last week of January. This month seemed to go quickly for me. Sylhouettes by Sylvia has been busy planning for the year ahead and several event dates are already booked for 2015. This month started off slow and ended with a bang! Even though, we still have one weekend my calendar is free. I'm not booked. However, I do have plans to garden and prepare my backyard to plant veggies for the spring and summer months.
Wedding receptions and birthday parties are the bulk of my gigs. The first event booked this year was a wedding reception for Marie + Jose at the Sky Room in Long Beach, CA. Built in 1926 in the city of Long Beach, CA the Art-Deco style also has some celebrity history which included Elizabeth Taylor, Clark Gable, Babe Ruth and other celebrities. The views are magnificent. You can see the Long Beach Shoreline, the Queen Mary sitting in the Port of LA and on a clear day you can even see Catalina Island. To the north, on a clear day you can see all the way to the San Gabriel Mountains. At night or during the day, it's a spectacular view. The Sky Room staff invited me to join the preferred vendor list. Sylhouettes by Sylvia will participate in future "Bubbles and Bride" events held each month for engaged couples to attend. I'm looking forward to a lasting relationship Sky Room. I'm grateful for the opportunity.
I'm always very pleased and excited when industry peers appreciate my work and invite Sylhouettes by Sylvia to participate at their exclusive events The biggest compliment is when I'm asked to join their efforts reaching out to potential clients.

Keep Dreaming with a New Start
Blog post Jan 19, 2015
Happy New Year!! We can always start new. Traditionally, the first of the yearis the time for a fresh new start. It's January 2015 and I'm ready for some new habits.
I'll begin with the title of my blog. Sylhouettes by Sylvia and more. When I began this blog, I'll admit; I thought of so many things to write about, which included more than just writing about silhouette art. Silhouettes were introduced to me at a very young age. I had the privilege to have the opportunity to learn from someone who had a passion to carry on an art that was important enough to her to share with others and eventually she became my mentor. Over the years I realized I too, want to share the art from my own experiences. One of my new habits for 2015 will be to post much more regularly.
Today we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. and his famous "I have a dream speech" in 1963 still carries a strong message today. Martin Luther King's dream is still alive. I thank Martin Luther King Jr. for the opportunities that became available for many. He worked hard for his dream and lost his life for his dream. We continue to carry the torch and pass on his dream. Share his dream with others by fulfilling your dreams and creating a path for others to follow.
My dreams continue to be fulfilled personally and professionally. Through my art and the opportunities I've experienced. Sylhouettes by Sylvia is pleased to have received several awards and recognition in the past. In 2010 and 2011, Sylhouettes by Sylvia received Gigmasters Rising Star Award. In 2011, Sylhouettes by Sylvia received recognition as a 5-Star Performer. It's wonderful and fulfilling to be recognized as a Gigmaster 5-Star Performer since 2011. My efforts are entirely motivated by sharing my talent as an artist and It's even more rewarding to receive my third Rising Star 2014 Award and Gigmasters Best of 2014 Award in my Category. Thank you, Gigmasters.com for making my dreams come true and for those who appreciate it.

Bay Area again and I love it!!
Traveling to the Bay Area is a long drive from Orange County. I have done several events in the San Francisco area. A Red Egg Party, a corporate holiday party (the same corporation twice), a beautiful wedding reception at the Historic Presidio which has captivating view of the bay and San Francisco. I am back in the bay area of Sunnyvale.
Getting a late start was not on my itinerary. However, it happened due to having my car at the mechanic. I realized taking my car in, is like going to the doctor. My appointment time is never at the time indicated, resulting in getting done later than anticipate.
Once again, it is an honor to be a part of a special and memorable day for a wedding. (No photos.)

Coming up... this weekend
It's Thursday and I am already preparing for the weekend. I need to make sure I have enough cards to mount the silhouettes, paper to cut the silhouettes, glue and bags to put them in. And one more thing, a Scrapbook. I believe most folks love added value. I try to do a little of added value. I will provide a scrapbook at no extra cost. The scrapbook is used to mount the silhouettes of the guests and guests sign their names and leave a note. This way, my clients will have something tangible from me to remember their special day or special event.
The handcrafted silhouette is cut out by me, Sylvia aka Sylhouettes by Sylvia. This is something special my clients enjoy and I have receive only positive feedback. A little added value is something the clients deserve. And...not only do the guests receive a special memory of a very special day. The client does too.

I just keep sayin'
I am going to keep up with this blog and I continue to procrastinate on sharing events, I am at every weekend.
I am going to post a few photos and make sure that things will get consistent.
Events are so worth sharing. I always have a great time and enjoy meeting friends and family.
So here are a couple of photos of a birthday party. Birthday parties like this one is at the park. Mom and Dad are keeping things fun and simple for their little guests. Here you see a mom signing the guest book for the birthday girl. The guest book is filled with silhouettes of guests so they can sign their name and leave a birthday wish for the birthday girl. Guests take home their silhouette too. Everybody gets in on the fun.
At another birthday party a mom made the banner and then she gave it to me.
