FINALLY IN THE UK...

Dang! That was the most extended, interminable move I've ever attempted in this short life of mine... and now that we're here in Cambridge we're still waiting for our shipment of everything-we-own to be delivered to our flat. I've been living out of the same suitcase for 2 months! (Luckily it's a pretty big suitcase...)

We're living right on the River Cam, and have seriously gorgeous views.


So while I've been here I've been working really hard on putting together a wedding invite order for a really lovely lady. She really liked the invitations I had for my wedding and wanted something similar. I had a lot of fun re-doing the design, and have now named it after her!

Welcome to it : The Josephine :


I managed to do the lettering a lot more neatly than it ended up on my own invites...


The most fun (and by far the hardest) part of the order has been addressing the envelopes. Man oh man! It's really made me deal with what a perfectionist I am, I've had to deal with just accepting things as good enough. I have impossible standards for myself.

I have had a lot of fun adding all kinds of different flourishes to the addresses, it's my favorite part...



Tomorrow I'm going to London to deliver everything. I've never really spent time there so I'm excited.

MOVING -- WOW.

I have to say, I did not expect moving to take up every moment of my entire life.

Whether or not I should have expected that is a different story, I suppose.

We moved out of our Providence apartment on the 1st and came to Kentucky, which is where I am now, to stay with Justin's family. They threw us a lovely, lovely post-wedding party last Saturday :


On Monday I'm off to DC for 10 days and then to the UK for the "final installment" of the move.

Let's do some freebies this week, huh? I think it's a good idea.

BIG NEWS & SOMETHING SWEET

hello lovelies!

before i get to the rest of the post, i want to thank you all for the comments about my organizational folders! i really love comments, i always want to know what you think... i mean since the blog is essentially me just talking at you it's really nice when someone else joins in the conversation, ha

AND

since you asked, i will have a download of my organization/procrastination folder for y'all early next week!
i can't offer the narwhal folder, unfortunately, because it's the same design as a card i sell in my etsy shop, but i'll try to rework the image into something new since everyone liked it so much...

*****

and now for my BIG NEWS :well, it's big news for me anyways

Justin and I just confirmed that next month we'll be moving to the UK!!
He got into the phD program at Cambridge and will be starting this fall.


I'm extremely excited/terrified/excited to move so far away. We also have a few other friends going to Cambridge this year so that should make it even more fun. SUCH A BIG MOVE!!!

*****

and the something sweet I mentioned?

Liz at Little Dash made the cutest ring pillow for some friends using my font Shirtsy!!!!


I can't tell you how cool it is to see what people can do with resources you give them. so totally awesome.

stumbling upon that made me so so happy

p.s. sorry I've been light on posts, I have lots of things to share coming up but I've had guests in towne
