I've been suffering from a sore right thumb lately... The cause? I've signed myself up for a large project that is KILLING ME! haha.

My best friend's wedding is coming up in May and I've hired myself to be her graphic designer. Why, you ask? She's the sweetest person who isn't concerned about image and wants to save money.  I was more than happy to when she asked me to help her design her program. When I asked her where she was getting it printed, she answered, "Oh, just Kinkos or something. Maybe I'll just print it myself." My jaw dropped. I refused to let one of my best friends compromise on quality just because of money so I volunteered myself to make her some awesome programs.

I chose to go with the Fan Programs. These were beautiful and unique because it takes a lot of time and effort to make. If I space this out correctly, I can make them little by little without killing myself (or so I thought). Cutting corners and curves are much harder than I thought... after a couple of leaves, my thumb starts throbbing because of my scissors.

I've only managed to cut about a quarter of the leaves but I feel like I have a good rhythm going. Only 3/4 more to go!

Next... I need to make menus for the tables, table numbers for each table and the seating arrangements! Need to keep my spirits high!
