Everyone is getting married and I have been lucky enough to have been asked to help in the planning. First my friend Alli is getting married in August (only 3 weeks, ah!). Her colors are dark blue and light blue and she let me do whatever I wanted (which I love), and this is what I came up with!
The swirls are stamps that I scanned into my computer and played around with until I came up with this layout.
In addition to the main invitation we also created a ceremony, reception and RSVP card. Here's a great tip to save money on your wedding invitations, use a postcard for your RSVP instead of a card with envelope. It costs $0.28 in postage versus $0.44 plus you don't have to buy envelopes, if you send out 200 invitations that $32 saved on postage alone!
Here is the back side of the RSVP card and the reception card. On the back of the RSVP card I created a map so guests could find their way to each venue.

I got a new design for a laptop case, Tricia practically demanded that she get the first one and she hovered over me for 5 hours while I worked on it. Finally at midnight I told her no more I have to go to bed. With the next day being easter it was going to be a busy day. When I was with my family on Sunday Tricia practically wanted to kick me out of the house to go home and finish it for her! I finished one for her, myself and Tammie and it has been the best for toting around my mac, I love it! 
The next new adventure was creating my first skirt! I never knew making an A-line skirt could be so simple! I have made a few for myself for the summer and a couple for friends who just love them. There is nothing better then getting to throw on a cute skirt and shoes to run out the door for work or errands, have I ever mentioned I don't like to be cold?
On May 17th Allison and I thew our friend Jess a baby shower. This is her first child so it was extra exciting! As a main activity with the guests we decorated onesies of all sizes, we used paint, buttons, ribbon, stamps and iron on designs to make 20 onesies. The new baby is going to have lots of outfits to wear for the next year!
Here is Jess opening up her gift from me. I made her this great flannel blanket and a red diaper bag (which is sitting in front of her).
Here is a group shot of all the ladies who came to the shower, it was so much fun I can't wait to host my next party. Someone is going to have to get married or have a baby, get on it people!
On May 31st I thew my second purse party, thanks to all of you who came out for it! I had great weather and got a great tan sitting outside talking with everyone who came.
Some great friends from high school came out to support me, thanks ladies!
After 2 years of school, Jimmy graduated! He graduated from ITT tech with a degree in computer networking systems, so he is officially a nerd! I am so proud of him, he worked so hard, I can't wait to see what he does in the future!
My birthday was in June so the ladies and I went out to Maynards for a fun evening out, it was a great time and it was fun to see everyone!
On June 30th we welcomed Ella Mary into the world! She is so cute, I can't wait to watch her grow up! Also she gives me a great opportunity to make more baby stuff! Oh what fun!
