Hey there!
Today, I’m celebrating 3 wonderful things.
First, my baby daughter just turned 7 weeks old. Oh how the time flies! The past 7 weeks have been defined by mountains of dirty diapers, groggy midnight feedings, and a sweet fuzzy little head nestled into the crook of my neck. It’s been amazing and exhausting and perfect.
{ Here’s baby V at 11 days old! }
Second, I’m officially back from maternity leave. Starting this week, I’ll be working part-time doing custom ketubahs and wedding certificates. If you asked to be added to my custom design wait list over the past 2 months, you should have already heard from me. But if not, be sure to get in touch so that we can set up a consultation. Because I’ll only be working part time, I’ll only be taking on 1 custom design project per week. So if you wedding isn’t too far off, we should talk sooner rather than later.
Third, my good friend / colleague Sarah Resnick of Advah Designs has released an incredible free resource for people planning a Jewish Wedding. Seriously, folks, this guide is amazing, and I desperately wish it had been around when I was planning my own wedding a couple of years ago. In her words:
“Not being married by a rabbi, but still want your wedding to feel Jewish? Curious whether the roots of Jewish wedding traditions are consistent with your feminist values? Interested in how other LGBTQ couples transformed their Jewish wedding ceremony? Trying to decide which Jewish rituals to include in your interfaith wedding? Arielle Angel of Ketuv Ketubahs and I created this guide to spark interest in couples who want to engage authentically with Jewish wedding rituals and are looking for a way to get started. It’s meant to be a discussion-starter that you and your partner can get through in a couple of hours: skipping the parts that don’t resonate, and following links to go deeper when you want to know more.”
The best part is that she’s giving away the guide for free. So you would be crazy not to pop on over to her site and download it, like, yesterday.
That’s it from me! Thanks so much for all your patience while I spent a incredible 7 weeks with baby V 🙂
Read MoreHello again! Ever since adding the Tree of Life – I am my beloved’s ketubah to my shop, I’ve been overwhelmed by the response. While I was working on it, I felt as though maybe I was on to something special, but I had no idea that it would so quickly become my best selling design. When I originally began thinking about the design, I was trying to find a way to include the beautiful Hebrew phrase “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine” (or Ani L’Dodi, v’Dodi Li) without being too heavy-handed about it. After trying several different approaches, I finally settled on hiding the phrase within the tree branches so that it was subtle and secretive. In the rest of the design, I focused on capturing the bounty and vibrancy of a tree in the heart of summer. I was pretty happy with the result! The Tree of Life – I am my beloved’s ketubah has a lovely blend of timeless symbolism and contemporary colors and design.
But it wasn’t long before my Quaker Wedding Certificate customers were asking for a version just for them. It took me a while to get around to it (ahem, starting our family has overtaken my schedule a bit more than anticipated…) but I’m happy to announce that the Quaker Wedding Certificate version of the Tree of Life – I am my beloved’s ketubah design is finally here in both the day and dusk versions.
This design can easily accommodate up to 80 signature lines as is. But we can also do a custom version for you that’s longer if you have more than 80 guests who want to sign. In fact, we just finished one that had a full 240 signature lines on it!
This design is available in the day and dusk versions here on my website as well as in my Etsy shop.
