So…we had a wedding. And an amazing one at that. You may have wondered what I’ve been up to and why I haven’t been blogging. Let me just say, an event of this magnitude takes a lot of planning and preparation!! But so worth every moment of it:)

Many of you have been asking for pictures, so I will be sharing those as they become available…but here is the happy couple!We couldn’t have asked for better weather that day. Actually, it was super HOT! It was an outdoor ceremony, so we were very thankful it was at 11 AM and not 2 PM. And good call on serving ice cream following the ceremony:)

 Of course we started way back in the winter months with the invitations: Samantha personally addressed each invitation with her beautiful hand-writing. She said it was relaxing for her:) Not everyone would find this relaxing! But I loved how she added that personal touch to each one. We also started WAY early on the thank you gift to be placed at each place setting. Because their whole dating relationship (and now married life) will be centered around travel, we thought it would be fun to give luggage tags. They are hard plastic, so I stamped the globe on each one with Black StazOn ink using the globe from the Going Global stamp set. (Sorry, many of these items have since retired in the spring, but I just wanted to share what I did.) Samantha wrote a little thank you on the garden green tags. I love how they turned out!

And now…it’s time to start this about making Christmas cards!! Seriously?! Yep. The new Holiday Catalogue goes live today.Check it out HERE. Canadians were unable to take advantage of the Mailing Selector due to the threat of a postal strike, so I’m sorry you did not receive one in the mail. I have tons here at my house though. If you are unable to swing by and pick one up, I’d be happy to mail one to you.

And shopping in September will be full of surprises! You can save 25% on select annual catalogue products through September 21st. This first week’s deals can be found HERE. There’s a punch, one of the NEW embossing folders, the enamel shapes, and tip-top taupe ribbon! Sweet deals.
