Enjoying our Wedding Welcome Sign
We recently shared our Wedding Welcome sign and I mentioned how the goal was to create a sign we could later use at our home. Well the plan was to use the cool marquee light arrow for the wedding. But AFTER the wedding? Add a little more lettering and seal the sign with spray-on laquer… Continue reading Enjoying our Wedding Welcome Sign

DIY Wedding Welcome Sign IRL
We've already shared with you most of our wedding signs, like our awesome shenanigans bar sign, and our I Spy photo game. Those signs were all designed in Photoshop then printed. Only one sign was actually hand painted, and it served as the welcome sign for our guests. The thought process behind the sign was… Continue reading DIY Wedding Welcome Sign IRL

DIY OBX Wedding Save the Dates
So, we picked OBX for our wedding destination - now we had to tell everyone about it!

But we did like the magnet trend as a handy reminder about our wedding.… Continue reading DIY OBX Wedding Save the Dates

I nodded in agreement… Continue reading Planning An Outer Banks Wedding

So we used to have fairly regular content here.... then the big move to Pittsburgh, and then we got engaged and then, besides the desk and office content we shared it's been nothing but crickets 'round these parts.

This One Time, I Illustrated a Children’s Book
HI! *echoesthroughouttheemptyness* It's been a while. But rather than give excuses, let's just get to it then, shall we? Everyone's family has traditions, especially around the holidays. For my family, one of those traditions was the telling of the story of Meriweather the Elf.

Yo, Dummy! Shoulda DIY’d it! – Home Dec Mag rip off ideas
So we magically got a copy of the march issue of 'House Beautiful' today and for once I decided to flip through it instead of sending it straight to recycling. Though there were a lot of pretty things, there were also a TON of things too easy to DIY rather than drop hundreds of dollars… Continue reading Yo, Dummy!

If you've ever purchased an apple device of any kind at the Apple store, you're likely familiar with the joy of 'unboxing' -- the simple act of getting to open your brand new device.

Hey girl. July 2013 in Review
Where did July go?!? Time flies when you're moving and job-searching! But there was still enough time to get a few projects in. Obviously the main theme of the month was MOVING which was a much bigger endeavor than I anticipated, taking a lot of time and limiting the fun things we shared. But there… Continue reading Hey girl.
