Signs and Shenanigans

First off, Holy Cow it's cold! Like windchill below freezing cold and sleet last night before bed cold. Perfect day to stay inside and...work on some wedding signs! Too bad I have work during the day though. 

I've always been into the calligraphy/handwriting/art thing. I used to take art lessons in middle school, and at one point had a calligraphy and paint set. Things kind of shifted and I focused in another direction in the athletic world, so I never really got to "fine tune" anything. And then chalkboards and chalkboard signs became a "thing," Pinterest blew up, I got engaged, started gathering signs and practicing, and Devon caught wind and then asked me to do her wedding signs, and so sparked a hobby that was once long gone.

One side of the drink menu and supper menu (Babe's Chicken, mmm!)

Now the struggle is finding something that I like for April. I kinda started several but lost focus on what type of colors and look I was really going for. I have all of the sayings in my mind, but most of it's jumbled all together and I can't make up my mind (siiiigh). Some of you may have seen the sneak peak I posted a few days ago regarding one of the bigger signs that I found at First Monday in Canton:


I'm most excited about this one, because it's going to be a focal point of our guests before our guests get to go sit (may have just given away the saying).  Now if I can only find matching shimmer sharpies in the colors I need besides gold, that'd be great. If you need signs, or know anyone that needs signs done, I'd be more than happy to get some practice in! The colored markers can be washed off so it's not anything permanent on the boards. I think I'm also going try out Christmas/Holiday themed signs. Those are always fun and can be re-usable each year! Might post a separate post one for all of those, some are still in progress, but have been entertaining to say the least in the improvising department (old eye make up brush works JUST fine on some things!) 


HO HO HO!

Honeymoon Part 1

Where to start, where to start? It's surreal to me how we've ALREADY been married over a week, AND that we've already been to the Bahamas and back :( The Bahamas (in Nassau to be exact) is such a beautiful place. It's the same island that has the Atlantis Resort on it, which we could see in the distance down the coast from our resort. We really picked the perfect place to spend our honeymoon. We left cloudy, rainy Dallas and Atlanta to sunshine and white sand, blue water, and 80 degree weather! It's so crazy to me that we've already been back from there after spending the week out of the country.  Obligatory newlywed plane selfie Monday morning came dark and early at 4am to catch our first flight out of DFW. I was proudly wearing my super comfy new "wifey" sweatshirt that my friend/bridesmaid Shohreh got me-thank goodness she stalks me on Pinterest ;) along with our brand spankin new wedding bands. Robert's ring looks so good against his ...

Hair today, gone tomorrow!

Well. I did it. Took the plunge. Jumped off the band wagon. And I feel....about 8-9 inches lighter!  And the not so pretty before photo (just looked at all that fried straw!):  #shorthairdontcare

To cut, or not to cut...that is my question!

More like a dilemma. I've done it before, and I've grown it back out, so I can do it again-right? I feel like everyone has short hair these days (I currently have the longest hair on my team at work!) , and all I wanted when I had short hair was to have long hair again. Now that it's long (and gross and fried and ick at the ends) I want to go short. But then I have an awesome long-haired day and think I want to keep it long. Do you see my problem here? Summer is coming, so it's going to be up in a pony tail or bun most days, so that just seems like such a waste of hair. But I sweat a lot and since summer is hot, wearing it in it's intended short style probably wouldn't last.  What is a girl to do?!
