Chevron, Monograms & Paw Prints

“You know you’re a teacher when.....you have an unhealthy obsession with school supplies.”  That is soo me, but the same applies to me and dogs!  Check this out...I had some free time @ home a few weekends ago and I have been been obsessed with all things monogrammed.  (Probably because in a few months --- 258 days exactly I will officially be Mrs. Scott Goehringer and my monogram will be SGL.  I like it :)  So while exploring through Pinterest, I came across someone who demonstrates how to make your own binder covers and how to add your own monogram.  I had to go one step further and add paw prints for my love of dogs.  I think it came out well, don't you?  It's really easy.  Take any pattern you like, open up Photoshop -- if you have it *if not, Pixelmator for Mac is cheap and easy to use too*  Create an 8 1/2 x 11 size page and upload the graphic.  Next use fun fonts to create your monogram.  It's that easy!

Can you imagine this with a Lilly print?  It would be gorgeous.

Monograms & Mutts

Monogramming has become a big trend for both dogs and dog lovers.  Recently I've been seeing more and more people wearing monogrammed necklaces or traveling with monogrammed luggage.  Wags & Tags makes dog bowl necklaces with matching tags for your pooch, so why not get a monogrammed necklace for yourself and a charm one for your dog?

As you may or may not know, I am getting married next pay and I have been "drooling" over the Moon & Lola Monograms from SwellCaroline.  I've already decided that I will be purchasing a necklace in either sterling silver or rose gold with my new initials and wearing it to either the reception or the Monday brunch (keep in mind that my wedding is Memorial Day Weekend).

Personally I think it would be soo cute to get a monogrammed dog collar for my Shih Tzu/Terrier, Filly.  People get them personalized with their dogs names all the time; so why not with a monogram.  Filly doesn't have a middle name yet, so that is something I would have to come up with, but my first dog's monogram would've been KLH for Koko Hershey Lindsay.  Soo cute and soo preppy!  If he had been a little pooch, I probably would've gotten him a little monogrammed sweater, but a monogrammed bed for a big dogs would suffice as well.
