Panel Pockets- My Second Order!!

I am very excited to have gotten my second buyer to want panel pockets! I can thank Jennifer for my creation of the panel pocket. She ordered my panel invite sample from my etsy shop and when I went to get everything ready to mail it bothered me that the RSVP and directions insert had no where to go, I had extra cardstock and made a pocket on the back of the invite! It makes a really crisp invite that is easy for your guests to pick up and take all the info with them!

My surgery is tuesday but I will be on the computer and working on monograms, Jennifer's invites and custom maps while I am stuck in bed for 5 days!!

Molly's Monograms

Molly had a Olive Branch/Olive Oil Theme so I wanted to incorporate that into her monograms! Her colors are sage green and chocolate! I played around with different fonts to create these monograms!

Rainie's Panel Pocket Invite Sample

I absolutely loved how these came out! The sample will be out in the mail tomorrow and hopefully Rainie will love it as much as I do!!

The colors are: dark navy metallic backing layer, silver metallic middle layer, white metallic top layer and on the inserts.

"Thank you very much for the sample - We really liked it!!! The flourish design is very elegant and we love the pocket to hold the RSVP and Directions. I like the colors you chose for the cardstock. Also, the quality of the cardstock and envelopes is great! "- rdoll (etsy buyer)

Coghill Projects

I finally found my camera--- now pictures. These pictures are from my first few projects with Catherine! She has been amazing to work with and I absolutely loved her "sage" green! This is her welcome letter and label for her OOT bags!



Etsy Map Order

So the real colors of this are orange and yellow. I sent it as a PDF but when I went to change the save format to JPEG so I can upload it here it uploaded blue and teal! Still pretty colors but not the right ones!

Notification for the week of 11/24

I will be having heart procedure on 11/25. I will not be working on any projects until Monday 12/1.

In case your curious to know about the procedure it is a Catheter Abalation for Supraventricular Tachychardia. Pretty much they run a catheter from your artery in your leg to your heart and then burn the part of your heart that has the short circuit. Apparently I was born with it and have had doctors ignore it since I was little. When I was little I would pass out without any warning (big sign of the problem in kids), we always thought it was low blood sugar. Since highschool I have just had my heart race to the point where it hurts to breath and I can't move, doctors said I was having anxiety attacks and my favorite, mountaindewitis (too much caffine).

Luckily I went to see a cardiologist after a really bad episode where my heart raced to a point where you couldn't even count the pulse and it lasted for an hour (usually it would only last 10-15 minutes). We were able to catch an episode on this really cool little recording thing that you just press a button and hold it to your chest and it records your heart beat! Just from that we were able to know what was wrong! It is such a relief to actually have a doctor not ignore the problem!!!

Since I will be stuck in bed and not able to shop I will be working on the invites for Jennifer's wedding. I will be mailing those out after Thanksgiving!! If you do place orders over that week, I will be on my email (it gets sent to my iphone) so I will let you know how I am feeling whether it will get done that week or the next!

To Do's for the week of 11/17:

1) JKeefes Napkins (Napkins were backordered so I should have them monday! Coasters and Napkins in the mail on Tuesday!)

2) Finalize Etsy Map Order!

4) Panel Pocket Sample

3) Finish up last 12 free monogram requests- If you haven't gotten yours it is coming!!!
