Thank you for all of the love and support this little corner of the internet has received over the past several years. As friends and family members were getting married, their weddings fueled the inspiration for this blog. But as seasons of life change, my focus, along with those nearest and dearest, shifted away from the wedding planning stage and I began to neglect this blog.

I have decided to indefinitely retire Calligraphy by Shannon in an effort to pour my attention into my lifestyle blog The Scribble Pad where I will be merging past and future inspiration boards and parties. You will still be able to place orders for calligraphy, custom invitations, and hand stamped items through my etsy shop. And as always, you can stay in touch with me under my moniker, The Scribble Pad on my blog, etsy shop, facebook, and even twitter! I look forward to sharing this new adventure with you.

MFB: A FREE Way to Organize Your Inspiration -- Pinterest

Hey folks! So this post is less about a project I'm working on (though there are many of those), but rather about a way to organize your inspirations.


You may remember my faux corkboard project from a few months back. I'm still using and loving them, but they have one main drawback -- they're at home, in my room -- meaning not near a computer, which gives me the greatest amount of sources of wedding inspiration.

What's an inspired lass to do? Sign-up for Pinterest!


Basically, Pinterest allows you to save all the beautiful pictures you love for your wedding (or anything else) all in one convenient location. No more saving to your hard drive, emailing yourself, or printing out random pictures. Instead, "pin" something to your board, leave notes about the image, and access it from anywhere. Best of all, you can share it with your friends (or fiance) easily by email or by "following" you !

Here's a screen shot of my main entry page, so you can get a sense of it:

I've already told two people about Pinterest today (not counting the millions of you following this blog! Ha!). I'm that obsessed, and I think you will be, too.


Here's a look at "my" page that features just my boards and the images I've pinned to them. You'll see a nifty "Vintage Americana Wedding" board in the bottom left corner. It probably even has some of the images from the inspiration board Shannon made for me a while back.

Anyway, I think Pinterest might be by invitation only right now, so if you need an invite, please feel free to leave your email in the comments section, and I'd be happy to send you one!


Happy pinning!
