it's prep week!

 it's almost here, y'all!

by week's end, bijou madness will be upon us. you'll be shopping, i'll be lettering... and shopping, quite truthfully.

the toughest part is over - the editing-in-photoshop part - and i'm back to creating. banner making, packaging, ribboning, prettying, and so forth. this is the fun part!

i'm excited for the weekend to come {have i mentioned it's my birthday?} and to create something for everyone. i'll be taking custom hand lettering orders from friday from open till about 5. bring me your favorite quote, music lyrics, lines from a movie or book... anything! i'll put pen to paper and bring it to life for YOU. 

if i were submitting a request {you own work always comes last, right?}, i'd choose

 in addition to the custom orders, i'll have a booth with a handful of prints i've created in the last few months. nine of them to be exact. all very different. some about love, some about happiness, some very religious, etc. i hope the lines that spoke to me may speak to you. 

and entirely unrelated to handwriting... but very much a necessity in my life: felt balls.

i bought myself enough to turn into a holiday garland and some to share with you!

see you friday!
