    I am really excited about our first DIY project! We had a girl on Etsy design a logo for us that we would use all throughout the wedding--two little owls. The boy owl is in a tie and the girl owl has a flower headband. I think they're adorable. The owls will be on almost all of our paper projects including, but not limited to, invites, address labels, programs, menus, escort cards, and favor tags.

    For Save The Dates, we knew for awhile that we always wanted to do magnets instead of paper. We collect magnets whenever we travel. :) (Perhaps I should post a picture of my fridge...)

    Anyway, without further adieu, here they are... our STD's and first DIY!

    They turned out great!

    You have to tell us how you came up with the screen name though.  I keep thinking you're one of our Northern girls :)

    Oh, I am! I am a Canadian living in Philadelphia. :) I moved here because Boy and I were living in two countries, which makes dating hard. He was in Cleveland, I was in Nova Scotia... Philly was in the middle somehow. Haha.

     

    I find little ways to represent, such as the Royal Canadian Mounted Pig you see in my avatar. Canadian bacon!

    @pb and j: I made the picture after I got the owl graphic and then used zazzle.com to make the magnet itself. It was very easy and I had a free shipping code. When you order in bulk, you get a discount. :)

    @MissBuffalo: Her name is Lucy of LittleSparkCreations. She will design graphics for you and sell you the graphic, you can use her existing designs or she will also actually print your STDs, invites, belly bands, etc. She was amazing to work with.

    @elephant: I really should post a picture of my fridge. I think it's awesome. My mother told me she thinks it's "a little much"...which means it's perfect. :)
