Invitation Progress

Making wonderful progress on the invitations! ALL of the RSVP's are done! All of the invitation fronts are done, except I ran out of red ribbon. I will get some tonight so I can finish tying the bows! The envies are in! The only thing left are the insides... I need to print and cut the vellum and adhere them to the inside. After that, all I need to do is create an insert with directions to the church and the reception. DD brought a stack of engagement photos to enclose in them. We are almost ready to go!
Maybe I will get some Christmas cards made after all!

ARRGGHH!

Well, I cannot find enough of the little red buttons that I need to make the invitations and RSVP's! So, we have switched to silk roses, which is appropriate because the theme of the wedding is red roses.
Last night I received the envelopes in the mail, and guess what? Right - the RSVP envelopes are too small! I have searched and searched and cannot find the right size! I definitely should have measured the envelope first and made the RSVP's next! DUH?!? I can order custom envies, but not less than 1000! I only need 75-100!
So - I guess we will make the RSVP's again, but this time make them 1/4 inch smaller!
Advice for anyone who plans to make bulk invitations ... Buy the envies, then make the cards to fit! Also ... before you start making the invitations, make sure you can find all of your supplies!

Odie - see the resemblance?

Ok - so when we adopted our little rescue dog, he came with a name. The more we tried to convince this little guy that his name was Quincey - the more we realized that we HAD to be WRONG! "Quincey" insinuates sophistication, NAH! "Quincey" indicates scholarly, NAH! "Quincey" relays a message of confidence, NAH!

The more we got to know our little fellow - the more we realized that we have seen his charachteristics before! Yep - you guessed it, Odie - from Garfiled!

We have officially changed his name to Odie!

He even responds to Odie!

What do you think?

Hello from the South

Well, we made it! Lots of terrible traffic, but 16 hours later we made it. We have been having loads of fun visiting, and eating of course! Quincey's name has been changed though. He is now Odie! You know the one, Garfield's sidekick! Well, that's him!
Well, I hope everyone is having a safe and happy holiday! Thanks for visiting! Til next time...

Heading South for Thanksgiving

Me, DH, DD & Finace' are headed South to visit my Dear sister, DBIL & my sweet Daddy! Big Sis & I will fix a big ole Southern T-day dinner and we'll all eat til we're miserable! Sounds fun, huh?
DD's fiance' is looking forward to it because he hasn't been many places. DD plans to show him around some. Me, I'm just looking forward to visiting! It will be great to see all my neices & nephews too!
Everyone have a Safe & Happy Thanksgiving!!

Wedding Invitation Progress

Last night, DD and my Dear Future SIL came over for dinner and then the three of us worked on invitations. We got all of the RSVP's done, except we ran out of red hearts, which have been ordered and shipped but not yet received. I had already cut and folded all of the wedding invitations. Last night, while I was printing, future SIL was busy cutting and using my scalloped square punch and DD was steady gluing. We really had fun! I think they will always have a special memory of making their own wedding invitations. I hope they include this in their memories of me as well.
Oh yeah, DD called to say that the church for the wedding and hall for the reception have both been booked!
I'll keep posting our progress as time goes by.

DD & Fiance'

A June 14th wedding is planned...

DD Getting Married!

Well, DD and BF are getting married! June 14, 2008! I have no idea what I was thinking, but I offered to make the wedding invitations! I made a couple of samples and this is the one that they chose. Only 75 more to go!!

POOPED PUPPY!

Quincey's First Visit to the Beach!

Yesterday, we took Quincey to Ocean City for his first day at the Beach! Boy! Did he ever have a blast! At one point, me & Quincey were posing for a pic in front of the ocean, and Daddy (Bob) was taking the pic. He didn't bother to warn us that a rather large wave was crashing behind us! Of course, he says he was looking at the camera and not through the lense at the time. Yeah, ok, right! Anyway, me & Quincey were taken down in icy cold salt water! Brrr! But we had fun anyway! Quincey was the recipient of ALOT of attention! And of course, he just LOVES that!

TFS in our day!
