Wishing everyone a happy holiday filled with love, happiness, and joy! 🎄❤️🎅

It’s definitely that time of the year! I’m not a fan of coconut, except when it comes to my husband’s Coquito! If you don’t know what that is, it’s this creamy, coconut-y, delicious concoction with cinnamon and other spices, spiked with rum! Typically a holiday thing, but personally, I could drink this stuff year round!

What your favorite holiday beverage?

Happy Holidays from our home to yours! 🎄❄️ ☃️

Ok, I may now be slightly obsessed with engraving bottles! Bring me all... the... things... to engrave!

Warm Summer days call for a Morning Wedding, which means Brunch Food 🧇🧇🧇

In keeping with the leather theme this weekend, there are endless options for seating charts too!! This was a fun piece to work on.

I've worked with many different 'canvases' for seating charts... Mirrors, acrylic, window panes, leather, and more! With so many creative ways to display, sometimes it can be hard to choose which option to choose to make a statement for your big day!

What was the coolest seating chart display you've come across??

Place cards come in all shapes, sizes, and style...the possibilities are endless!!

These leather place cards were so fun and can be combined with so many styles...classy, country, rustic or chic! They also make for a cool keepsake.

What a perfect in my Memories today!

This right here shows how practice, determination, and passion can transform your life. Four years ago today, I was just getting into hand-lettering as a hobby and gifted this sign that popped up in my FB Memories to my dear friend, Kyymara Rosey LE for her spa Esthetics813. Who would have known that in those 4 years we would grow to be 'family' and be a part of encouraging and watching each other succeed in sharing our true passions with our community. Check out the difference 4 years can make!

For me, what started as a hobby quickly escalated, and a year after this first sign, I made "Lettering Lou" official - and I have enjoyed every moment of it! I am thankful for all my wonderful clients who have supported me along the way and trusted me with creating those unique details for their special celebrations.

There is still time to visit with some of these amazing vendors at the Grand Opening of Arden Bridal & Boutique in the Westshore Plaza.

It was such a pleasure meeting some new faces today. These talented vendors do some great work! Be sure to check them out and give them some love.

A little sneak peek at why I've been a bit MIA lately...

My beautiful bonus daughter got married to her awesome Mr. recently at a stunning venue in TN and well, you know I had to make "all the things" to make sure every detail was covered to help make it a day she would never forget! 💍

She had an amazing photographer who captured some wonderful moments with perfection. 📷

While I may not have birthed this child, I've loved her since the day she came into my life, and I'm thankful for her sweet momma (who I love too) for sharing her with me!

It was a special day for all of us, filled with so much love and emotion. 💕

Cheers to a lifetime of wedded bliss for the Mr. and Mrs. 🥂

I know I've been a bit MIA lately... Things have been crazy busy with my bonus daughter getting married and all, but I promise I'll be posting more soon to share all the fun projects I've worked on recently.

TODAY though, I just share a pic of me and my handsome Mr. as we celebrate 9 years of being married! I am so blessed to have this amazing man in my life to share all the good and bad times with. Thank you for being my rock, baby! I love you ❤️ Here's to a lifetime of making memories together! 🥂
