Bonus day!

Megan and I were supposed to go home on day 4 but our flight out of Jamaica got cancelled. After much confusion, our airline put us up in another all inclusive resort in Montego Bay. It was very nice but we were very tired! We had a great time and were very glad to be there for Allison and Shaun's big (yet very small) day. Everything turned out wonderful and I know we will all remember it forever. Pin It

Watercolor sign

Inviting Company invitation
My customized invitation
___________________________________________________
People often give me invitations that they love for inspiration but want them to be more personalized. I recently was asked to do a larger version of the top invitation but with different colors (plum, celadon and peach), a different vehicle (silver Toyota tundra truck) and a vintage 'Just Married' sign to top it off. This is what the married couple will actually drive off in so hopefully it will be special. This is 11" x 14" actual size and will be framed and put on an easel in the hotel lobby where friends and family will be staying. It is a fun way to remind guests about the post-wedding breakfast.

Letterpress business card

This is my new letterpress business card. You can't see the all the detail in the photo but I LOVE the richness of the texture. Letterpress printing dates back to the mid 15th century but to me there is nothing better. I designed the card to be abstract but it could look like many things - raindrops, petals, even feathers. I just wanted the card to be unique and different. This site has great deals on black and white letterpress calling cards. You can custom design one like I did or you can pick from 9 other designs.

Cheddar and asparagus omelette

This was breakfast this morning. I just sauteed some garlic, onion and asparagus with a little olive oil in a pan and then poured the eggs in after. I topped it with shredded cheddar before I folded and then it was ready to eat. Yum!

St. George Island - offshore fishing trip

Sunrise on the water Capt. Duwayne Snapper! The box is full We had great weather fishing this morning and were all tired from fighting the fish by lunchtime. We caught grouper, grey snapper, red snapper, ruby red lips, sharks, spade fish and a few unidentified monsters that broke the line. We threw back the stuff we weren't going to eat or that wasn't up to the size limits. Jake even caught a 7 ft. nurse shark (see side bar for video soon). It was a really fun day and this evening we grilled half of our catch with the family (almost 20 people here!) for dinner along with some mango salsa and coconut rice. Pin It

Latest project

Here is the invitation I finished up today. It was inspired by another invitation that a friend saw and loved. I changed up elements of the painting and used different colors. The bride's colors are plum, celadon, ivory and a hint of peach. This is kind of a bad scan but the bouquet is embellished with a tiny bow and the shoes have rhinestones on them. Pin It
