LIFE. It sure gets in the way of blogging sometimes! So...last week was busy: My boy was home for Spring Break, and although I can't blog about him, I will say that it was fun to have him around :) My daddy had major surgery (a complete shoulder replacement) and is home and recovering nicely. My mom is a good nurse! I signed up for a swap on my friend Natalea's blog...I made 13 postcards and mailed them out, and will get 13 back. I used vintage wallpaper , ledger paper, lace and some seam binding that I wet and scrunched up in a ball to dry, so it's all wrinkly...
We wrote inspirational quotes on the back side. I'm looking forward to a little happy mail in the coming weeks!
And spring is here! Hooray! I'm not liking the pollen and the bee's, but the flowers outside my window make it impossible to have a bad day!
The save the date cards arrived yesterday, and they look great...
I went to the post office to buy stamps, and ended up buying the wedding ring stamps...so cute. She has the day off tomorrow, so we will be busy writing addresses. One final rambling thought...
How many times will I refill these candy jars before Easter actually gets here? Hope you are enjoying LIFE!!
sounds busy but fun around your house. you are so lucky to have spring! here in northern california we have had almost 60 inches of rain this season and we are all desperate for sunshine!
love the postcards you made to send out. isn't it fun to have something to look forward to in the mail?!

Suzanne,
I saw "Birdie" at her store last week. Her ring is beautiful.
And with the collection of Bride and Grooms that you have....I am not suprised at all with this "Save the Date" postcard. It's so both of you. Have fun planning. Be sure to have the Bride and Groom register at Williams-Sonoma. I'm still working there now and then. It's the most popular place in our area for Shower and Wedding Gifts. Have Fun with the planning!

Beautiful postcards! And you're not alone, I'm going on the 3rd refill of Easter candy in our jars :) Cadbury mini eggs seem to be the most popular here.

I love that postcard with the tatted lace on it. Just beautiful!
Apparently I had missed your post on designing the save the date cards. You could easily go into business! I'm sure you would make many brides very happy. :D

I can't do jars of candy, they aren't as pretty when they are just sitting empty, and that is how they end up, way too fast!
Sorry, you'll be missing that pretty spring when you get here. Its going to snow tomorrow. When you guys arrive, it will not be very flowery and colorful yet.

The save the date cards are just perfect and it sounds like you are getting a lot accomplished! I try to stay away from those candy jars!!

The post cards look so chic with the lace, like from other time. Hope your dad is recovering quickly. I like that the postcards and the stamps match the theme, they go so well together.
