Calligraphy
Sooo....I don't really know how we are going to go about this whole calligraphy "business" thing. At first, I thought that he could do it for family and friends but then Stlwed girls started asking. It is hard to say no when it is so easy for him. I guess we will need to figure out some type of protocol and more professional way of doing this. Obviously, this won't get big enough to really matter but I want to do this "the right way" and I don't want it to seem shady. We have a lot to think about.
Last night, Mike was playing around with his new calligraphy pen and he "made up" a new font/style of writing. I loved it! It reminded me of something from Betsy Dunlap.
I love this style!!! I wish he would have thought of it before he did ours!!! He said that it takes him longer to do but I think it is beautiful!
Tomorrow, I will spend the day at my desk working on report cards. It really is a time of year that I hate. Since I am such a procrastinator, I am going to go right now and finish grading. Hope you have a great weekend!
That is so beautiful!
Mike is so talented - that is gorgeous!
You never know, it might get big... we used Betsy Dunlap and that's how she started, just doing her own, then friends started asking... it could happen!
Mike is very talented. I love that new font, and it does remind me of Betsy's. Awesome job!
That looks great! Be careful though, I had a few of my invites come back because the stupid post office can't read calligraphy sometimes. Two of them went to the same address, one made it, one didn't.
I think it could get big if you guys wanted it to. :)
Beautiful calligraphy!
I seriously can't believe that this very well may be my very first post on your blog. Shame on me!
I left something for you on my blog :)
i think it's super amazing that your hubby can do this!
Hi, I found your blog through my good friend--Julia of "My life in transition". . .I actually tried to get your email address from her to ask you "off-blog" but never did. I guess you could say i'm a little 'blog-shy' :) I LOVE LOVE LOVE these invites. I was thinking of using the general look for my wedding (August 2009). I just wanted to make sure it was okay since this was your complete idea and design. . . I just wouldn't feel right unless i got the A-OK from you! I have been looking around for what seems like forever and haven't found any that i got too excited about. Anyways. . yours were/are awesome!!! Thanks, Lindsey W.
