I know this is a blurry photo since I blurred out all the personal details and I know it’s likely boring to almost all of you but it’s for me and it’s so I can remember years from now. My good friend Cheryl who’s been there for me forever, asked me to design her a plain invitation for her upcoming birthday. I immediately said yes.
And then I immediately started dreading it.
I wanted to do it justice. I thought I might disappoint her and I love her so much I really didin’t want to disappoint her. I put it off for months and then when the time came to plan June, I made sure it was on my list first and foremost. I decided I needed to sit and do it. Even if it was bad, it was much better than not doing it.
So, I did it.
It’s simple. really simple. That’s my style. I can’t help it.
And I think she liked it. I hope she did. Either way, I am glad I did it. I love you Cheryl and I am so sorry I won’t be there for your special day. My heart and thoughts will be.
Sometimes, elegance emerges from simplicity.
I don’t do bling. I don’t do hearts and flowers. I can be so square, my four corners are sharp.
I wanted a friend, someone I cherish, to design this invitation. It would be a gift that I could frame and hold precious for years to come.
I know I put you on the spot. I knew it would be difficult. I also knew you were capable of creating the perfect invite for this special occasion.
I am grateful that you undertook this project. I am grateful that the invite is exactly what I wanted.
I love you too~
