Scared, nervous, excited,,,,,,and THANKFUL!  2011 has  been a great year both personally and professionally, but as the year comes to a close and the day approaches where all my resolutions must be taken seriously, quite honestly I'm a bit nervous.   Have you committed yourself to doing something in 2012 that seems almost impossible?  Me too.  But as my husband pointed out, this is not a "to do" list or a New Year's Resolution list.  This is a WILL DO list.    One of those "will do's" is to expand my business through social media.  AHHHHHH!!!  Social media?  I barely know how to use facebook.  Never tweeted until this month and blogging??? Never even tried it.  So, I'm here to learn. I'm here to grow. I'm here to share. I'm here to show you how you can          "Have your Cake and Calligraphy Too!"

You might be wondering how I came up with the name.   While searching for blog backgrounds I saw the gorgeous damask that matched my new logo and fell in LOVE.  Then I saw the absolutely EXQUISITE cake from Intricate Icings Cake Design.   My mind immediately went to "eating" when I saw the fork and knife (another "will do" for 2012 is to stop thinking about food 24/7), but I thought about the many times people said, they "love calligraphy, but can't afford it on their budget".  Somehow I put it altogether and came up with "Have your Cake and Calligraphy Too". I'm hoping that through this blog, I can show brides, event planners and all readers that calligraphy is not only affordable, it's a service that can pull together every part of their special day.   I'd love to show you how you can afford not only the dress, cake and venue of your dreams, but also the special touches only hand-calligraphy/engraving can provide.

So,,,,,you might ask what we have planned for the blog in 2012?  Of course we'll be sharing our favorite wedding finds plus original work from the calligraphy and engraving studio, but also look for a special feature,,,"WWJD" or "What Would Jenny Do?"  where we'll take real life weddings/photo shoots/picture boards and design additional calligraphy/engraving elements that can enhance any special event!!



My wedding day was the most fabulous day of my life, yours should be too!  I'd love to work together  with you to make all your dreams come true!!  Happy New Year!!!
