Some Etsy Shop Additions

While have two glorious weeks off, I managed to add some new items to my Etsy Shop. If you are wedding/party planning, make sure to check it out! As for tomorrow, it's back to work for the both of us. I am sure it's going to make Gari (our frenchie) a little uneasy - especially since he has been by our side for the past 16 days.

The rest of my Sunday will be spent folding clothes, meal planning, working on invitation orders, cleaning the floors and tending to our sick puppy. He ate a ton of junk yesterday while escaping from his crate and let's just say it isn't looking very pretty... but the Lord is faithful and we will continue to pray for the best.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend with your family & friends!


wedding invitation: gina + tylre


This Plum and Silver Chevron invitation was created for my cousin Gina & Tylre's October wedding in Fort Myers, Florida.  Both ceremony & reception were held at the historic Burroughs Home & Garden. When creating the couple's invitation, their only request was to have a modern invitation that would reflect their Florida wedding style.

One of my favorite features added by the couple was their choice of RSVP. Instead of having guests mail in reply cards, they opted to have their replies posted through their personal wedding website.

To the bride & groom: Thank you for making me a part of your special day! I know this is just the beginning of a long and beautiful journey ahead.  May God bless you.
