The save the dates are going into the mail! Finally! I have to admit the assembly of these suckers has taken A LOT longer than I expected. I’ve squeezed in the work here and there throughout the week and feel a BIG sense of accomplishment now that all those pretty little boxes are stacked up and ready to go! You’ll have to wait a little bit longer for the full reveal, BUT, I will share a few more peeks at the finished product. These puppies, along with my puppy, Roxy, will be getting their very own photo shoot with Elizabeth Ryan Photography this weekend! I’ll be sharing a lot more pictures with you soon!

…not as I do…when it comes to mailing out your save the dates!!! You should mail out save the dates 6-8 months prior to your wedding. And, if you are having a destination wedding or your wedding falls on a holiday weekend, you could extend that timeline to 10 to 12 months before. Right now, we’re less that six months until the renewal and I have not mailed out my save the dates. Ahhh!
We’ve been SO busy this year (which is a good thing), and I have to do work for all of the “paying” clients before I get to my save the dates! So, after everyone left the studio today, I decided to take a little time for myself and started printing everything for the save the dates…I got it all done too! Now, I’m in assembly land! My plan is to get them in the mail next week. I’m going to stick to it!! And, I’ll be sure to send a picture of the save the dates going in the mail on next Wednesday’s blog post. For today, I’ll share some fun shots of the save the dates in progress. Well, I guess they are more teaser shots. I can’t give everything away!! Enjoy!

As some of you I have a “little” obsession with books. Well, perhaps it’s not little and perhaps it is not just books…it’s books, reading, paper and well, anything printed. Okay, I’m obsessed!!! I admit it!!! And, I also admit that I get really excited about anything that feeds my addiction. So, imagine my “glee” when Liz (the famous Liz, of Elizabeth Ryan Photography) informed me that their very own intern, Caitlin, was a fine arts major at the Maryland Institute College of Art and that, best of all, she was concentrating on Book Arts!!!! After a few chats over Pinterest and drooling over her website, I got the chance to meet this famous Caitlin in person!!!
And, to my utter joy, she brought books with her!!!! And, not just any books, she brought the most fabulous books that had been turned into amazing paper creations…works of art! I think I might have drooled a little bit, and there were squeals of delight, but mostly, there was just awe at someone having the patience, talent and vision to create so much with books and paper!! I’m still giddy about the whole experience and definitely living vicariously through Caitlin!! Check out her portfolio of paper here!
In addition to meeting Caitlin in person, I got to pick her brain on bookmaking! Why? Well, because I’m working on the design for my renewal save the dates right now…hmm…should I surprise you or share with you? Okay, I’m so excited that I have to share a little….
I’m not going to give it all away in this post, so enjoy the teasers above and be waiting for more “book goodness” soon!
