will you be my bridesmaid?
Sunday, January 3, 2010 at 4:45 PM 
Inspired by this DIY project by Anna Bond, I set aside a couple hours the other weekend to make cards of my own. Each set of bridesmaids I crafted is unique – using different colored paper swatches for the dresses and hair, the cards, and various dried flower stems (my own touch). I pecked away at my heirloom Olympia De Luxe typewriter to produce the cards, which read "Scott and Jane are getting married!" and "Will you be my bridesmaid?", as well as the girls' names and the addresses on the envelopes. I'm happy to say that all four girls were delighted with the snail mail invitations and happily accepted. Many thanks to Nell, Kate, Adara and April for making 2010 a year that I certainly look forward to! xx
