WOYWW 254

Morn....(quick check)....ing! Phew just sneaked into the morning category!

So desk dashing day, where we all head to Julia's Desk - WOYWW) to join in, start off, nose, dash or whatever takes your fancy.

I'm back this week, went MIA last week, but thought I'd better show up. My desk is the same but no colouring WIP this time. Oh no. Something much more important is being worked on.


So right side - Ebosser is forward, ready for action, there's 2 types of glue ready to be used.

Window side - yep the sun is too bright/strong to put the blind up just yet. You can see plates for the Ebosser with an embossing folder plus metal ruler and a small pile of perfectly cut and embossed card.

I'm making wedding invites!

No, no I haven't forgotten to tell you lot anything....not for me.....but for 2 people very close to me. My brother and SIL to be Jennifer. They asked me to design and make their invites for their November wedding. So I designed. I made samples. We tweaked and then we decided. I'm doing the 'technical' stuff. Cutting. Embossing. Stamping. All of that. Then Jen is going to help do the 'pretty' bits. The pearl adding, the final sticking of pre-stamped plaque to go on the front. Tying of ribbon etc. You get the idea. So I'm working on them as much as possible cos it won't be long before they need them! 

So that's me. Coffee is at hand and I shall pop round soon. May be over a few days. But I'll see you!
Take care Zo xx

    A brilliant task for you, Zoe. Being in the middle of making two wedding dresses I know what a thrill it is to be involved in making someone's day so very special. Great work!
    Have a really good Easter.

    Oh how wonderful that you are making their invites! I replied to your bee question but yes you can get them in the mail here. They come in a package and are very gentle since it's just bees with nothing to protect.
    Thanks for visiting!

    Hi Zoe,

    I did notice the nicely cut stack of embossed paper. Congratulations to your brother and his future bride. You'll have to show us the invitations once they are done.

    Happy belated WOYWW
    peace, Kay (13)

    I'm making wedding invites for my son and his fiancee. They're getting married in October. We pretty much finalized the details this past weekend, so now I have to order paper, ribbon, etc. and get busy!

    Bless you Zo. Thanks for stopping by. I never got to you (or very many others!) last week with the kids at home so I'll comment here now. There's a November wedding in our family too, but she's a DIY kinda bride and is doing most things herself. It will be lovely to make the invites together with your SIL to be. Take good care of yourself xx
