I think I am done with vacationing for a very long while. I was on a travel buzz these past few months, and I am happy to say I will no longer be MIA. My next and somewhat final (for WT, that is) big "vacation" will be in August as I pack my bags to Massachusetts!

What's been going on? Ever since I got off the fabulous Norwegian Pearl cruise ship, although still feeling a bit of motion sickness, I have dived into all the work I need to complete for this summer. I'm refreshed, and hopefully can keep my whimsical juices running. I think I hit a designer's block last month. I felt creatively exhausted and drained. Something I've learned: it is really difficult to constantly keep creatively inspired.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I took on a new client who found me through the blog of newlywed Bethany. Her name is Tertia and she is from Chicago, Illinois. She is a lovely woman and ever since she acquired her Blackberry, we have been sending emails back and forth like fire!

I'm currently working on her daughter's birthday invitations and wedding stamp, but before I left for Alaska, we finished and finalized her Save the Dates.





Tertia's new last name will be "Minter" and she thought of a creative phrase: "Mint to Be," which will ring as a theme in her wedding paper items.










Throughout high school and college, there were only a few things that I would doodle in my notes while in class. These include: flowers, crosses, and RIBBONS. I love drawing ribbons, and coincidentally, Tertia wanted flowy curvy text on her Save the Date. So yes, I had lots of fun with this!

One thing I really did wish I get to attend while I was in Alaska was Kathy's bridal shower! She is a big Pride and Prejudice fanatic, and her shower was themed as an English Tea Party. However, I'm still glad I was able to contribute. Before I left, I created tiny labels for her homemade jam favors and place cards for her food items.





Still sad I wasn't there for the actual event. Does anyone have pictures? Do share!



COMING UP: Kathy's invitations, Sally's invitations
