It's Saturday and I have to do something I really hate to do on the weekends; shop.

Because I work for myself, I get all my out and abouting done while all the suckers are at work.  I'm used to having the roads, the malls and the grocery stores all to myself.  I'm usually well stocked on the weekends and don't go near commercial properties.  Today I have no choice.

The good news is the place I have to go is Kinko's and I'm hoping that it's busiest during the week.  After all, it's where people go to get work done, right?  It's not like the hordes have been waiting all week to get that printing done!

I thought I'd get this project finished by yesterday, too, but I've come down with a cold and when I'm not feeling good, my work suffers.  It took me waaaay too long to get this ready for the printer, but I can't wait.  It's MJ&K's wedding invitation. 

It's very cool.  Not at all traditional.  We're printing it on a lovely pink paper MJ found and the rsvp's will be on a beautiful green that looks lovely with the pink.  It's very tropical.  The cover of the invite is pretty neat, too.

I've done a lot of wedding invitations.  Most have been fairly traditional, with religious symbols and scripture quotes, but every once in a while someone wants something fun and personal. (Coincidentally, I'm also designing a yarmulke that involves fish an a lambourgini.) 

 I did a joke invite for my brother Joe and his wife (to be) Heidi.  It was a silouette of a boy and a girl sitting in a tree with the words "Joe and Heidi sittin' in a tree..."

They used it.

Instead of scripture, my sister Katie used this;
"Bigger than the both of us,
deeper than the sea,
We're dancing,
Our souls are dancing,
Eternity."
Which is a lyric from Jimmy Buffett.

MJ's is the coolest of all.

It's not as cool as her first idea, which involved guns and a catsuit, but it's pretty cool.
