This month has went by so fast. I have been so busy that I haven’t had time to blog. I had 2 huge weddings, Save the Dates & 1 large debutant/coming out party for addressing. All of them had awesome people to work with!!! I am usually VERY lucky in that regard I will add some pictures soon! Because I completed some awesome vintage stamp invitations…worth seeing!

The year a flown right by :/ I’m excited about some upcoming projects & 1 HUGE wedding! I looked at my website traffic & it showed I had 87 hits yesterday so somebody is looking at me I still have spaces available for the fall…

I have been PAYING for AOL for years now & have only kept it because it’s on my business cards. But I can get a new box of business cards for the cost of 2 months of AOL service :/  Now to my next problem? How many people know my email address? I just really don’t want to delete it & alienate an important resource or new customer. I’m hoping that by sending a mass email to my address book & posting it on my website, facebook, twitter & ofcoarse here will be enough.

My NEW EMAIL ADDRESS is:

sccalligraphy@yahoo.com   -or-   shannon@shannonscalligraphy.com

My old address will continue to work for 1 more month. Please apply these changes soon, I would really hate to loose you as a contact or possible client.

My Calendar still has spots available for the Fall!!! Please be sure to reserve your space. Invitations should be mailed 8 weeks out during the holiday season. This time of year guests may be traveling for their own events. You need to “reserve” their time early & leave them more time to make travel arrangements. These holidays are the most travelled. So wether you use my service, another calligraphers or do them yourself. Be sure to mail your invites in plenty of time, so you have lots of people around to enjoy your special day

I have wanted to do this for quite some time… I’m glad that I have finally set it up! Now if I can just find the time to maintain it. Hmmmm~ Besides the wonderful art of Calligraphy my time is stretched between 3 kids, 3 dawgs ~in live in GA , 17 cats & 1 husband. YIKES!!! So tweeting, blogging & emailing are falling low on the list BUT wouldn’t you rather me be working on your invites instead of playing on my computer. hehe

Over 200 fonts to choose from if you don’t see your font shown just ask! I didn’t want to keep adding page after page… This method looks VERY nice, it’s faster & more affordable. I also have several choices that “look” handwritten to choose from as well. This service also includes my VIP service (see description above) with the addressing. The cost per invitation set $1.00 BUT if you submit your guest list in Word you will receive an additional 10% off discount.
