It's so hard to believe that this year is almost half way over; it has been an unusual one for sure! With half the year passing me by, it has become even more important now that I set some goals to complete before the end of the year. I'm trying not to be too far fetched with my mid-year goals, as I have recently realized that one can only take on so much, therefore I am limiting the goals to 5. Lucky for me, most of these should be done before the end of the summer! Well, here's hoping at least.
Okay, here we go...
Top 5 items on my Mid Year To Do List:
- Finish Website!! - You should all know that I am making progress on this so-called website of mine...actually so much progress that I dare say it should be live within the coming weeks, thanks especially to my wonderful assistant Kate who has spent many an afternoon photographing new works with me, such as the one pictured above.
- Card of the Month Club - Details soon to come!
- New Calling Card Designs - I have been working on a small line of customizable calling cards available for purchase on my Etsy shop...they too will be available before the end of the summer.
- Begin Holiday line - Yep, it's time I start pulling together my holiday cards, they don't say 'Christmas in July' for nothing. No better time than the present to get started.
- Trunk Show - Not sure if it's going to happen before the New Year, but not giving up yet!
Okay, I think that is good for now, oh, and about the photos above...those are for the lovely Denise and Peter. They had fallen in love with Ali and Kenneth's wedding invites and wanted to customize the invitation suite for their event. To make it unique to Denise and Peter's wedding, I eliminated the background as well as the birds and incorporated some lovely new fonts and colors. Then, we reworked the RSVP to suit their invitation and tied it all together in a lovely paper and twine band. So pretty! I just adore it.
Oh how I long to sit in one of these all day, especially during hot 'summer' days like the past few we've been having (did I mention it's still June?). I just finished painting my Adirondack chairs a couple weekends ago, and sadly have not been able to give them the attention they deserve. Well, the week is not over yet and I'm sure some lounging will soon be in order, especially now that I have just completed my third wedding invite suite in the past two months! Don't worry, I plan to share pictures of all of these invites very soon...just let me get a little bit of lounging in first.
I can't help it...I think this bike is adorable! However, I can just see the face my husband would give me if I came home with this, as I already have a totally cute blue beach cruiser living at the house. I don't care though, I too (like many of my fellow bloggers) am dying to win it. Check it out and how you can enter the contest by clicking on the picture above.Now, I'm off for the weekend. Joe and I are heading out tomorrow for a little weekend getaway. I'll post some pictures of our trip when I get back. I hope all of you get to enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend...and maybe take a little bike ride. Ciao!
