I had decided to stop posting for a while since it mainly consisted of bitching and feeling sorry for myself. Reality check? The bottom line, “life is tough – deal with it”. PUT ON THOSE BIG GIRL PANTIES! I signed up for this, so I better go make lemonade!

I’ve been super busy between trying to keep up with the boys, the house, and avid coupon shopping (read: saving my family buttloads of money). Somehow, through the lack of sleep, perpetual PMS, and Gavin prematurely hitting the “Terrible Two’s”, I’ve also managed to squeeze in a few large craft projects for others. A few of these included deadlines, so I had to call in for reinforcements (Hi Mom!). Whew! Take a look at what I’ve been up to…

In addition to the Dr. Seuss baby shower invitations I made, I also made these adorable cupcake toppers…

Cupcake Toppers for a Dr. Seuss themed baby shower

The photo above is just the start, the “prototypes”. I had to make 32 of these babies! It took me 4+ hours to complete it all, not including designing them on the computer. Did you know a craft punch could make your arms feel like Jell-O? Yeah, especially for a wimp like me!

Dr. Seuss Cupcake Toppers, made 32 of them!

I also made 32 (girly but mature) invitations for a surprise party. This package included the matching address labels, return address labels, envelope seals, and some other note cards that were requested. It took 3 hours just to cut, glue, and assemble the invitations themselves (and that was with my Mom and I steadily working together). Here’s a sneak peak. I had to blur out the details and can’t post any other items, since the party is a SURPRISE…

Floral Suprise Invitation

Lastly, I created an invite for a Pinkalicious themed party for a friend’s soon-to-be 4-year-old. BTW, this is the cutest book with a really nice message…

Please note: I’m not sharing, selling, or doing trade-out work for this invite at this time.

I’ve yet to print or cut these since the party details are still in the works. But as you can see, I’ve been BUSY. And there’s also other projects I don’t have pictures of. I do, however, have a freebie that I will post very soon!
