What's In A Font

April 5, 2013

I am a self-proclaimed font addict. Seeking out a new and fabulous font is one of my favorite things to do. The right font on an invitation or personalized gift can make or break it, and by the same token the wrong one can kill it.
So what makes a font right or wrong? Fonts like most things in design are subjective. What looks perfect to one person looks awful to another. Let’s call that my disclaimer as I move forward. Because as a self...

Etiquette, Rules and Tips for Wedding Invitations

November 28, 2012

For your special day, you want nothing but the best. It takes time, and you want to make sure everything is perfect. Wedding invitations are just one of many things to prepare for before your wedding. It’s the announcement of the date, time and place of your wedding and can be just that simple, or it could include a map, response request, directions, or even a photo.

Traveling for the Holidays?

November 20, 2012

We all know that the day before Thanksgiving is the biggest traveling day of the year. So make sure you are prepared for all of the chaos involved in traveling with luggage. If you plan on traveling in the air this year, you want to make sure you have a luggage tag. The rule is the bigger, the brighter, the more noticeable the better. It never hurts to be able to clearly identify your bags as soon as they come out for you to pick up. The quicker you get in and out of everything...

What Movies Can Teach Us About Life

November 15, 2012

Have you ever felt like you’ve been faced with a challenge and you don’t really know what to do? You can find inspiration in the smallest things sometimes to give you the push you need to make you realize something about yourself you never knew. Like how strong, independent and wonderful you are and how special and unique you make others’ lives. This quote came from a movie I’ve loved as a kid. It’s an inspiring movie that empowers...

So, Please, oh Please...

October 18, 2012

“So, please, oh please, we beg, we pray, go throw your TV set away, and in its place you can install, a lovely bookcase on the wall.”
―Roald Dahl

It has come to my attention that as we get older we start to go into a force of habit and do what everyone else around us is doing. But I have also noticed that the people who stick out of a crowd are those who...

Halloween Pumpkin Carving

October 12, 2012

Hey all,

This time of year is always my favorite! The cold weather starts moving in, I pull out all of my favorite scarves, sweaters and boots from the bottom of my closet and go outside to find all the different shades of leaves. After going to Starbucks and getting a grande Pumpkin Spice Latte, with whipped cream, of course.

But one of my favorite things to do at the beginning of fall is decorating for Halloween. I have always loved carving...
