It seems like so long ago that I sat down to write a blog post, this because it is. It's been ages. So much has happened in the past few months I don't even know where to begin.
Ok so here goes... Since August last year I found out my big brother was going to get married in November this year (2013) and it was to my delight that they asked me to design and make their wedding invitations. Of course I said yes. So for the past couple of month I have been hard at work creating them a collection of invitations that Oli, Jemma and I would beProud to send out. I am so pleased to say that I have finally fined them, and I'm really pleased with the final result. Oli and Jemma are also delighted too, as they have sent them it to their new home, and have already have some replies. AMAZING!!!
So here area few snaps of the finished products
In each hand made envelope slip contains: an invitations, informations about accommodation and a RSVP card complete with addressed envelops. Beautifully finished with lace and ribbon on the front.
fingers crossed all there guest like their invites.
Now my next task is to make all the place names for all the guests. I best get creating again.
Now to the most exciting piece of news I have to share with you all...
At the beginning of June I had an interview with a greeting card company called Gemma. They are the market leader in licensed greetings, and produce some amazing things. The position that I applied for was a designer based in their studio in Andover.
The night before my interview I was so nervous, as this is all I have ever wanted to, design cards as its my absolute passion. I thought the interview went really well. everyone was lovely and the office was very nice too. I had a week to wait before I found out if I was successful or not. (it felt like it was the longest week ever!!)
So friday came and to my absolute joy I received the phone call I had been waiting for ever since I left university. I was so excited. That just made my day!
Chloe Hoare is now a designer at Gemma.!
When it came to my last day working for Annie Haak Desings, I was sent off in style and very spoilt.
A massive jar of sweet and a filo fax ( sad i know but I have always wanted one) It was a sad day as I have made some great friends there. But now I am looking forward to making some new friends at Gemma, and getting my teeth stuck into designing.
And of course one last card to say thank you to Annie for everything she has done for me over the past two years.
Thank you Annie haak for a great send off :-)
In between all this excitement I also managed to fit in a holiday so I was freshened and ready to get stuck into my new job.
So tickets were printed and we were ready for 9 days of hot hot sunshine.
Of course not with out of novelty sunglasses.
Hello sunshine.. this is the life I could get used to.
Only to come home to sunshine and hot hot heat, Im definatly not complaining. :-)
