Have your Cake and Eat it too!

It's been a wedding centric week! My good friends Christina and Jon are getting married Saturday and it's been a bustle of preparation. I've put off printing their Thank you Cards until 3 days before their wedding. Nothing like waiting til the last minute! Anyway, they are done and look very lovely. Since they have so many left over RSVP envelopes, I made the cards to fit those. I like to use every last scrap. Of course, buying extra envelopes are never a waste, you can find so many fun things to go inside.

Since I had the Sangria ink on the press and I need a card to give to my friends, I printed my new "Congratulations for having your cake and eating it too" card. I like it. I would like to see it in other colors too. Wedding cake is one of my most favorite things about weddings. I used to cater weddings in College. Even if we got stiffed a tip, I would be happy if I got a piece of cake. Especially, if it was a Cake by Carol. I don't know what that lady puts in her confectionery creations, but it's delightful. I tracked her down for our wedding cake and was estactic that she could make it for us. It tasted exactly how I remembered. Coury and I ate so much cake on our 1 year anniversary that we were nearly sick. It's so good!

I've been a sobby kind of mess this week. In addition to the continual rain, I've been writing my toast for Saturday. I can't get through the first 3 lines without crying. I don't want to take out the good stuff though. My mom is bringing rescue remedy to the wedding to help fight the tears. I asked my husband to get out our wedding tape the other night so I could listen to the toasts. I was a blubbering fool and ended up watching the whole thing. It brings back such good feelings. I'm so excited for my friends to go through the same high this weekend. As far as the toast, I will attempt to not look Christina or my mom in the eyes while I'm talking and maybe I'll get through it OK.

I've listed the new card on my Etsy Store. Weddings make me happy! It's been really lovely working on their save the dates, invitations, and Thank you's. I'm a little sad that it's over. But on to the next one! Have some cake, folks.

Having your Cake and Eating it too

I didn't make it to the gym this evening, but I was still mucho productive. I came straight home and started drawing in Illustrator. I was on a roll and finished most of the cards I want on the next polymer plate purchase. I think I usually start working too late. I am determined to get to bed earlier this week. My brain was still functioning at 6 when I began... or maybe it was the blueberries. I think I'll repeat both more often!

I can't wait to print these! I'm ordering the plate tonight. It also has business cards and a logo to print on cards and bags for the upcoming fairs.

Creating these made me even more homesick for the Midwest. I have a condition called "the grass is always greener". I understand the concept and acknowledge I have a problem... it's just so hard to know what you are going to want down the road. Why can't we have everything? Sometimes I feel greedy just wanting a little more. I have happiness. Tonight, my husband brought me something even better than cake. Left over Blue Stove Peach pie and ice cream. Overall, it was a delicious day! Cards coming soon!
