Oh me oh my am I tired! Last night I stayed up super late working on orders! I had almost 100 wedding table numbers in different styles to make. All of them turned out to be double-sided as well. I never thought it would take me so long to make them all but I had promised the buyers they would all be in today’s mail. A promise is a promise and they will be in the mail shortly! I also had a ton of credit card reporting to do from home for my other job. I thought it would only take me an hour or two to do and it turned out taking me twice that. So that certainly didn’t help either!
Tomorrow I will be working on “Thank you for being my Bridesmaid/Groomsmen” card sets for a past customer of mine. It makes me happy when I have returning customers 🙂 It lets you know that they truly loved your work. This bride in particular has been good for me because she has made me think out of the box of my normal work for her requests. She is the bride that inspired these beautiful table numbers.
The cards will be based of them as well. I at one point hope to make some coordinating items to go with some of the items I already make for some of my wedding/baby/birthday stuff and its great when the customers push you to do it as well. Plus I love custom requests because it helps you not only see what people are interested in but it also helps you get out of your comfort box and make a style all its own. I need to learn how to make templates though. My printer and I are so not friends and I use a basic word template for all of my stuff right now which makes centering wording rather difficult. The first template I hope to make are place card templates because I would love to make coordinating favor tags and place cards for all of my wedding table numbers. I have been secretly working on the favor tags but I don’t have any to show at this point. I have the photoshop CD for the computer. A friend of mine thought it would be a great system for me to learn and I agree. However it is such a hard program to learn and the classes to learn it are a few hundred bucks a pop.
On another note…
My 2 year old had his re-certification for his speech therapy yesterday and I am happy to announce that he has passed all the testing and will be released from the program in 45 days. It’s hard to think that just a year ago he wasn’t speaking at all and not he is passing the tests with flying colors! He even topped the tests for all his other skills.
