I'm Back!

Hello Friends! I can't believe it's been over a month since my last post (Bad Blogger, Bad Blogger - said as I'm slapping my wrist - LOL!). Pregnancy and life really throw a monkey wrench into blogging on a regular basis. Things have been going great with me, I'm now 35 weeks pregnant and we had a BEAUTIFUL baby shower last week, and my co-workers gave me another baby shower this past Friday. Paige really has a lot of people who love her already!

My husband had a boys weekend in Key West so that gave me some quiet time to just start getting things ready for Paige. My girlfriend Jeanette came over yesterday and washed all of her clothes, and put them away, she put her high chair, high tech swing, and pack & play together she really helped me SO MUCH! I absolutely love and adore her.

I promise that I will post pics from both showers very soon! Everyone was just so sweet and I am so blessed to have all of them in my life.

So, I do have a card to share with you today. We had some seriously delicious food for our baby shower and we had it catered from a local restaurant. We had baked chicken (which was seasoned like nobody's business!), green beans, pigeon peas and rice, candied yams, and cornbread muffins. Can you say DELICIOUS?! Everyone enjoyed the food tremendously and my husband asked me to make a card for the restaurant owner, which I happily obliged. Here's what I came up with...
For this card I embossed a piece of cardstock with the twig like image you see in the background. I used the Rosie Posie stamp set from Papertrey Ink for the flowers as well as Boutique Borders Thanks mini stamp set and a little chocolate ribbon finish it off. Even though there are flowers on the card, I still feel that it's manly enough to give to a dude, my husband agreed so I'm cool with it! LOL!
 
Well that's it for me today. Since I only have 4 more weeks to go before I deliver, I will do my best to post as much as I can! I guess that means that I gotta get to crafting, right?! As always, thank you so much for stopping by!
