Monday, Monday... can't help that day...

Mondays exhaust me. I suppose its because its the first day back after the weekend, or if its because Mondays are my "long" days - Monday, Wednesday & Friday actually are my long days. Teaching 7 different classes back to back takes its toll on my brain and in addition to being physically exhausted, I'm more mentally exhausted than anything else. I'm a bear on Mondays. Don't poke me.

All things wedding...

Our wedding is less than a month away... about 3 1/2 weeks to be more precise. I've learned alot about this business... like... invitations. There are a ton of websites and companies and people who put a lot of time and effort (and lets be honest), money, into designing websites that are so mainstream, so common that they are found on design sites where you can customize them by plugging in your own information and it spits out a digitized copy. This works for some people. I've never been a conventional sort of person, so I wasn't happy with anything I found online. I decided to give my design skills a shot. I found a design I liked and unfortunately, I can't link to it because I don't remember the site... However, I changed it enough to make it more "Brooke & Charlie." There were alot I tried and didn't use - some fun ones, like this: (please do not stalk me. This is not my real wedding date nor location).

I'll post my real invitation, response card & program after the wedding... I did most of the design work myself on all of them, and I have to give a shout out to my amazing printers - Xpress Printing & Design. They were amazing to work with and very affordable! I recommend using them for ALL of your printing needs!
