For the love of stationary!

I woke up yesterday morning, got dressed and headed to the car thinking I should just make it to church on time, and then I opened my garage door to see this.
And the snow was just starting. It may not be exciting to a lot of you, but we haven't had the snow really cover the ground in Columbus once this winter so it was exciting to us (or to me anyway, Larry worked all weekend so he didn't even know that it snowed until quite awhile later).

I spent part of Saturday working on these invitations for a friend's baby shower. I kept them pretty simple to put together because I had to put together 38 of them. They took a while, but I'm happy with the results. (edited to add: I got the idea for the crying baby from another invitation and I just did my best to copy it figuring I'm not selling these so that should be legal. The rest I created myself)

I also recently got this invitation for my friend Alicia's wedding. I can't really take any of the credit because Alicia knew just what she wanted and had a sample so I only had to follow directions. I love the unusual shape of her photo. I can't wait to head to the wedding in a few weeks to see how her reception turns out because I love her style (plus, I love her so I just can't wait to see her and meet her fiance).

And for the few of you who haven't seen it, this was our Christmas card this year. The pictures that my sister Candice took are really what make the card and it only took her a few minutes to take them in front of her house, just as we were getting ready to head home. I printed them before we left for our trip in December, but I didn't notice that a lot of them didn't print well so I just barely got around to reprinting a few so some of you are about to get a really late Christmas card. I figure better late than never!
