When certain people come your way and you get to know their story, you either feel compassion or apathy. When Sasha came my way and she told me her story, I thought, "This girl deserves the biggest break. I wonder when that will come."

It came indeed. After dealing with one, say, "misfortune" after another, none of which was her fault, she is finally getting married to her Prince Charming who had been waiting for her since she was in High School. This made me really happy for her for she has been trying to smile away all her problems for the longest time. July 1st will mark Sasha's changing moment. Her life will indeed change and for the better, I just know it. And that is why when she told me she was getting married, and with very little resources to work with, I immediately volunteered to help make her invitation cards. This was Wednesday afternoon. I told Hoen about it right away and my husband, being the supportive person that he is, jumped in the idea with no questions asked. We then went to Michaels and FORTUNATELY, found all the materials I needed to get started. The next day I was on a roll. Since the flat cards were already done as well as the envelopes, all I had to do was make sure to cut the vellum evenly and print on it. I also just had to place the perfunctory ribbon on top. Her motif was gorgeous-- olive green and chocolate brown. She only had 6 people on her guest list while the rest of the invits will be sent to Pinas. I volunteered to do the mailing myself since all the recipients are in the US and well, we have more than enough stamps.

So after chatting with Sasha back and forth (I really wanted to help fulfill her every wish), I was done with the invites. VOILA! She was very happy with it. I was happy with it and I'm sure Kent will be too. Anyway, I'm just glad to have been able to help especially when she has very little support from the people around her. Here's to Sasha and Kent and to their life together!!
