    This weekend was MONUMENTAL in my wedding world!  We actually did something more than plan.  To start off the excitement, my 20 yards of fabric from Joanns.com was delivered.  (It will be DIY table toppers, runners, and Jr. Bridesmaids Dresses)

    THEN - it finally arrived - THE GOCCO (YAY!)  We'd bought a PG-10 and it finally made it.  I wanted to try it out SO badly, but with only 3 screens in my hands, i knew it needed to be something useful - not just a wasteful trial run.  So i called my sister - my graphic designer - friendor - sister.  She was spending a day at home and we decided to go to work on a monogram.  Actually, we needed 2 - one for before and one for after the ceremony, since we don't want to use our married monogram before we are official. 

    The mister and I gave our input, found inspiration and piece by piece, the monogram was born.  I'm absolutely thrilled with it.  The damask-ish feel, the simple font - I think we'll end up using it for years to come.

    What do you think??

    **( I did get to play on the gocco - YAY! We sucessfully burned the monogram screen on the first try and I made about 20 little cards that we can use for gift tags or thank you notes)**

    That's super cute! I got our monogram turned into a stamp and a return address pre-inked stamp.  I can't wait to start using it!
