finished project no. 2






this project almost gave me a heart attack last week. i spent the majority of the labor day weekend in my sweatpants, in the basement, drinking orange crush and printing these invitations, with my mom and ben's help. this one was definitely a team effort and by far the most in depth, intense wedding invitation ever produced on the old c & p (not to mention the most difficult). loved the final product but so relieved to be done with it. and that handwriting? unbelievable. I have a new bff named kathy laporte and she is my idol when i am in my 60's. she and her dog willow sit in her front room of her house down on 79th and allisonville and peacefully make these little works of art. there is never a tv on, no one running around the house, just she and her little pal, one envelope at a time....
