Save The Dates and Cufflinks

So, heres the save the dates we will be sending out (probably in December). Designed them myself with Photoshop and they help of my honey. These will be printed 3.5x5 on magnetic sheets. The photo in the middle was dont my very good and talented friend Maria Fulmer.

Also- I recently purchased and recieved cufflinks for some of the boys. Im still waiting on Richards and still have to buy some from my dad and his brother Zach. In the mean time- heres the ones I got. Purchased them from thepremierlink-au and thenicoshop on Ebay. In truth, they are the same person- one just has more in the store than the other. Please excuse the finger prints all over them :-P

Richards Dad- Silver "grass" on top of cherry wood


Brian (Brother)- Shifter knobs

Barton- Gas gauge and Spedometer

"Save the date"s

While visiting Arizona a few months back, I spotted a very cute idea on my friends fridge- a "Save The Date" magnet. What a great idea! Cards can be lost, misplaced, bent up or thrown away by accident. A magnet on the other hand, just toss it on your fridge and forget about it (sort of).

So, the last few days- after fighting with my computer for an entire afternoon to get Photoshop CS3 downloaded- Ive been playing with designs, ideas, colors, and pictures. Ive been combing the internet for inspiration (and cheap deals of course).

I quickly decided that I wasnt going to pay to the money to have someone else print them. However, I did find a great deal on printable magnet sheets from Amazon.

No previews yet- I will toss one up as soon as Richard and I finalize a design.

In other news- we should be starting our house hunt very soon! We got out good faith estimate yesterday and are just waiting to hear back from the realitor. We're getting there!!
