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.

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..
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!!!

You did a great job Inez! You fooled me on the first photo w/the name on it, I'm like, "Wasn't this party for her daughter? Who's Camilla Adams? Ha, then I read on and realized you'd made individualized invites - very impressive! I bet the REAL Camilla Kern was excited!
