Making Invitations

This year is the first year that Eric and I agreed to have a "friend/family" birthday party for Camilla. She turned 8 on the 27th of July. She has been excited about this birthday party for several weeks and decided a few months ago that she wanted a Raggedy Ann themed party. So set out to find Raggedy Ann supplies...and didn't have luck finding any that were in my price range. So I decided to use things we had to make invitations! Yes, you read this correctly I MADE THEM MYSELF!!

I have a few good friends that are amazing card makers and I appreciate their talents and have enjoyed using the cards they have made for me to write in and send to others. I feel like I am all thumbs when I try to do anything crafty or homemade, even though I love the way homemade crafts look..when they are made in someone else's home.

So below you will find the sampling of my first homemade invitations:My red table work space

Notice the date....

Thankfully, Dawn informed me before I sent any others out. I don't know why I put September??!! I am so thankful for computers and the ability to quickly change one word.

The corrected version.

The finished product and cleaned workspace..

All ready to be delivered.

Stay tuned for pictures of the PARTY!!!

Camilla and I were going to do these together, but she tired out on me before I could finish the first one. I guess she is more like me than I realized. At least Raggedy Ann stayed around to give me good KARMA.

I will not be going in to the card making business....just in case you were thinking of making an order, hee, hee!!!
