Thank you cards

Well, I'm sure everyone has received their thank you cards by now so I thought I would post them. I'm pretty proud of myself for sitting down and making all the cards (and envelopes) from scratch. To make the cards I just cut out balloon shapes from scrapbook paper, printed Thank you off word and added some embroidery thread for the strings. I used a glue stick to put it all together and they turned out great! I almost couldn't mail them because they were too small ( which I didn't even realize could happen) but thankfully they just barely fit into the size requirements. I hope everyone enjoyed them!

Baby Shower

The baby shower was on 4/10 and was great! Dawn and her daughter Trinity flew in from Ojai to throw the shower for me and went above and beyond to make it special. We decorated with the colors of Julian's room, orange, blue and brown. The cake was amazing, it was the official announcement of Julian as the name. It was a small shower with 6 close girlfriends and it was exactly how I hoped it to be. We played a few games, drank mimosas and wine (well everyone else did) opened presents and ate cake. The generosity of my friends was overwhelming. Everyone brought a few presents and I can't wait to get them all put away and ready for the baby. Thanks everyone for coming and thanks Dawn for a fabulous shower!
