a little bit of what i’ve been up to these days ~ shower invitations

these last few months have been a nice break from my normal routine, which has meant that i have brought out some art supplies and got busy with some projects for my daughter’s wedding.

i am planning and throwing a bridal shower for my lovely girl next month, and i decided waaaaaaayyyy back a few months ago that i needed to make her some custom designed invitations. i am that crazy person that always thinks that making things from scratch is way better than buying something, then i realize how much work i need to put forth and curse myself for not buying pre-made things at Walmart. oh well…. this was for a good cause and gave me an excuse to pull out my watercolours and fall in love with painting all over again. i have too long neglected my love of painting. it’s time to remedy that.

here is the fun invitation i painted and lettered by hand. as you can tell, i like pink.
