Thank Yous

Happy Friday, everyone. I couldn't be happier for it to be here. If I could kiss a day, I would.

You know those invitations I mentioned, that required practically a sweatshop to get done by the deadline of my stepdad's wedding? Well here they are.



Thanks, mom, J, D, Y, and R, for all your help! I seriously wouldn't have found time to put in the probably 15 hours these would have required for one person.

Sorry the photos are so blurry. I feel like I'm always saying that. I took them quickly, as we were late for the wedding and facing Redskins traffic.

You can see from the bottom corner of the picture above that I took inspiration from their wedding invitation for the thank you notes.

I also had a custom stamp made with their names, which they wanted on the bottom inside corner of each card:

Typically I would have gone with something hand-carved from etsy, but this time I chose a more commercial site because I needed it quickly.

And here's the stack of 71 of the finished product. Whew! Just looking at them makes my hands cramp from all the cutting and appliquing. But I was very happy with the finished product.

Now on to the next project: the holidays.

Happy weekend!
