Envelopes

We are about three weeks away from my son's first birthday... EEEK! It makes me sad that he's getting so big, but I can honestly say that we're enjoying every minute of it. Just this last week, we've discovered his first tooth was coming in and then the day after that, we noticed a second one! He's the best! You only hear horror stories of teething, but for us, it's been a breeze!

So anyways, I have already sent out the invites. I decided to save myself on stamps so I created my own invite in Photoshop (super handy!) and emailed them out to our guests. We've decided to invite immediate family plus grandparents. It's only been in the last week that my mind has even wandered to the point of Thank You's and entertainment. Apparently when you have a party, you should worry about more than just decorations and food. Who knew?! :)

My husband and I went to our local Hobby Lobby (A crafter's version of Disney World) and I went looking at stamps and the fun little stamp pens. I've loved all the cards I've found on Pinterest and have decided that it could be fun to get into stamping and making my own! I found a set of pens and were sad because they were twenty bucks. I didn't feel that committed to the cause. Then just below that set, I found one for 3 bucks! I was pretty stoked! So I bought them in hopes that I wouldn't regret that three dollar purchase.

Right behind me were the envelopes and cards that you can buy. I didn't read the packages and assumed that what I bought had envelopes AND cards in it. I discovered I was wrong... it was just envelopes! We'll be going back ASAP to get the cards.

I decided to play with my stamps anyways and decorated the envelopes I bought.

Here's pictures from this historical event! :)
