Wedding Invitations for a Snowflake Soiree!

I recently was asked to make wedding invitations for one of the very first friends I ever made, and of course I was honored to do so! I literally met this girl on the first day of Kindergarten and we have been great friends ever since. She is having a winter wedding in January with an ice blue and snowflake theme. Here are the invites I came up with for her:







I am thrilled because she was SO happy with how they turned out! I am also proud of myself for making 175 3-piece invitations with envelopes and 225 monogram labels for under $475! Many of my loyal readers will know what an accomplishment this is if they remember the cost of my invitations and I only made 120!

I'M ALIVE!!!!!

Hey friends! Well I am officially the world's worst blogger this month because I have been SO BUSY! I have had so much to do around the house, lots of visitors in and out, started a new job...ended a new job (long story!) and I've been working on a LOT of new stuff for my Etsy Store!

As much as it PAINS me to share this mess with you, this is the disaster that is my desk area while I'm working on my new projects:


And since I have shown you the mess I've made, I will also show you a few of my latest profects!

Rosette Football & Basketball Onesies:





Custom Ornaments:



and Canvas Christmas Signs!





As you can see, I am definitely getting into the Christmas spirit!

Thanks to all of my awesome followers for sticking around during my little hiatus, I promise that regular blogging will now resume again! :)
