Went through their closets and cleaned out clothes that are getting small. Then, Cleaned out and re-organized our linen closet. How many times in a year does one do that? I then opened up my scrap book closet and some horrible closet monster has got in there and disorganized the living daylights out of it. Before I start on that task, I thought I would take a break and do a blog post.
I have the ball rolling on my nieces wedding shower. Yesterday, my Sicilian friend ( aka "Sicily") with her newly acquired citizenship got together, and with "Big Baby" sitting on her lap she helped me make these awesome home made invitations:
Yes every thing is cut out by hand, even that dress.. 33 to be exact. I could have bought a cartridge for my die cut machine, but I would not use it a lot, so why spend the money. And I got a used "You're Invited" stamp off eBay for $1.99.
Okay, so I will let you all in on a little secret, another lady is giving my niece a "tea party" bridal shower, and she made "tea cups" as the invites...well the proverbial line was drawn in the sand, and I had to cross it.. I hope these look good. However, I still think they need something else.
Sicily said "No, they look pretty just the way we made them".
On the inside of course is all the "what, where, and RSVP stuff"
So now that I have shared my day with all of you good folks, it is back to the scrap book closet and the mess that monster made, then off to the cleaners, get the boys from school, come home fix a small dinner for them then off to baseball !
Have a good Thursday!
