free zine!!

hello my dearests, happy wednesday!

it would be disingenuous of me if i didn't confess that this winter has gotten pretty hard on me lately.  while we're doing our best to stay positive and keep the chin up these days, the past few weeks haven't been too great.

fortunately, i've found that busying myself with creative pursuits does wonders for my state of mind.  case in point: i'm making a zine!  (click here if you're unfamiliar with the term).  if you would like a copy, email your mailing address to beckykovats {at} gmail.com.  it's free!  it's fun!  it's art (sort of)!  and who doesn't like getting snail mail from your friendly frozen blogger friend?

stay sane, y'all!

PS if you've already requested a zine on instagram, i will be in touch.

my gals

so one of the things about planning a wedding, which i'm pretty sure was single-handedly invented by the collective internet consciousness known as pinterest, is engineering some new, creative, ridonkulous way to ask your girlfriends to be in the wedding party.

feeling that a boxed gift set of ugly, decorative, oversized diamonds was a bit over-doing it (not to mention the fact that my brother once bought me an ugly, decorative, oversized diamond from a gas station in indiana), i decided to flex my skills at photoshop instead.  i sent my ladies (well minus my sister who was already maid of honoring it up before steve and i were officially engaged) these awesome greeting cards with their lovely faces stitched onto the bodies of truly the least lucky bridesmaids the fashion world has ever known.

fortunately for me, none of them were too offended!  now that my girls are all signed up for the 2014 wedding-showdown i finally can show everyone my handiwork!  when i went to walgreens to pay for the cards the guy at the photo counter was very excited when i asked for my order.  "i hoped i would be here when the bridesmaid cards got picked up!"

hope everyone is having a happy wednesday!
