I’m baaack! My granddaughter Trinity and I have been adjusting to each other’s sleep schedules and a balance has been (mostly) achieved. After she goes to bed, I run downstairs and attempt to get caught up on work, allowing me 6 hours of sleep till she is telling me, “Wake up Mimi! It’s morning out!”
Tonight I am working on 70 custom wedding invitations which are due this weekend. The bride really liked a design that involved a pocket envelope so I am cutting them all myself since they are not a standard size. All I can say is, thank goodness for my Logan mat cutter! I set the paper up in a assembly line process to cut, score and fold them all into envelopes and they are coming out perfectly square! Now I have to figure out a way to punch a circle in one corner consistently so an initial logo may be seen from the inside. Matching up everything has proved quite tricky but I am persevering…
I would ask all of you to keep our military serving overseas (especially my son Chris, Trinity’s dad) in your thoughts and prayers this Memorial Day weekend. The sacrifices they and their families endure for our freedom is truly above and beyond.
Special congrats to my friend who became a grandmother a few days ago! Love you Kimmie 🙂
Have a safe and relaxing long weekend!
you are a brave woman for hand cutting all of them
Oh I wish I was a fly on your wall while you cut all these GORGEOUS envelopes! I really would love to see how you use your Logan cutter to do these. I’ve tried using my cutter to score card stock? But don’t have much luck…so I need a tutorial, from you, Bean! Nice Job!
Thanks, too, for the CONGRATS! 🙂 It’s very exciting…I’ll keep you posted as I learn new information.
Yes…Lots of THANKS going out to all our folks in uniform!
Talk to you soon….
The invitations look beatiful. Kudos to you for all your hard work! I’m sure the bride will LOVE them!
