stamp love...

it's been forever and more since i last posted...i just came back from a wonderful vacation and i'm in the process of moving so i look forward to settling in and blogging away...but for now and old time sake i'm gonna post a little post about some stamps i purchased a couple of weeks ago from etsy. i've been thinking about the wedding invitations and have decided to give embossed stamps a try. as i was browsing etsy, i came across these stamps below and became totally smitten and purchased away with glee. i'm not a hundred percent sure how i'm going to use them but i've got some good ideas....i can't wait to get started! and boy i can't say enough about etsy. it's an amazing store and i could spend all to the last penny there...

this customized adorable return address stamp is from foryoo ... i'm feeling white ink on dark-paper-bag-brown... we just got our customized stamp in and it's the cutest!! i don't want to jinx anything so instead of a last name it reads ST and then SONYA and TONY...love it!

this cutey is from nikoart. i'm thinking of using this on the very back of the invitation... i saw another stamp that's in the shape of a circle with the lyrics "all you need is love. love is all you need" that will most likely be my next buy... i think the owl within that circle will be icing!!

these lovebirds are from terbear. i love the clean lines and they will look fantastic embossed in pink... eeks!! i can't wait...

emotions running plentiful...

several things...one, i just finished the novel p.s. i love you. i haven't seen the movie yet and heard the book was better and now i can't wait to see the movie. i cried maybe, 1o times! what a book. it's my biggest fear: losing someone you don't want to even think about living without. i'll stop now so i don't start up again...yesterday the family celebrated my aunt and uncle's fortieth wedding anniversary. my uncle rented a big 'ol suite with the most beautiful view of the city. the piano man set the mood grandly and it was nice to enjoy everyone. love was in the air... i just received my dress green etsy purchases. hello christmas shopping! i could browse art on etsy forever and a day...of course that's where i found the prints up and below. something about birds i tell you. it's the flying. lucky devils.
