Second: I officially can't avoid it any longer... today is my 30th birthday. Let’s dissect this for a minute:
I have dreaded this day for at least 2 years. To me, it signifies the true end of my youth. As of yesterday, I was still in “my twenties” and was given some grace on stupid decisions. I mean, I realize that I’ve been paying my own bills, married, owned a house, cleaning that house (mostly), etc for quite a few years now… but at least I still felt young. I do not feel young today.
Third: I have a new favorite font and it’s called Scrap Casual. I will be implementing it a lot in the near future.
Fourth: In honor of today and to help cheer me up, my sweet friend, Skye from Neathering Our Fest (blog) and Thumbprint Designs (Etsy shop) has offered to host a giveaway for you. Now, I can actually call Skye my friend, because we were roomies at Haven. She’s wonderful and makes some AMAZING artwork. I love these wedding signs that she does:
They can be completely customized… or I guess you could get someone else’s initials if that floats your boat.
I think this sign would make a super fun base for an autumn mantle:
So, here’s the deal. Skye is giving away a $40 credit to any sign in her store.

ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday! I think I would put scripture (from the Bible) on my sign, or boy meets girl and my name along with my husbands. thanks!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I turned the BIG 3-0 in April. I really love all of her work. My favorite is the laundry sign so I would use the GC toward that. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway. It's cool that you two already know each other :)
