I COULDN'T HAVE SURGERY UNTIL I FINISHED THESE!

If your mind works like mine does,

and I'm sure there are millions that do,

then you couldn't have had serious surgery

this past Monday, 2 days ago,

until the invitations to the shower

you were making

were complete.

And, in the mail.

That's how our minds work.

That and the fact that if the invitations 

weren't posted until yesterday

or any day after, they would be late.

So, they had to be finished

and in the mail 

bright and early on this past Monday

morning as I was driven to

the hospital in SAtown.

Knowing that I had a lot to do, 

not that I had a surgery - that news came later,

I never should have chosen 

such a time consuming design.

But, that's who I am.

That's who God made and

who's to argue with God?

So, last Tuesday when an unscheduled

surgery was scheduled for this past Monday,

one thought entered my mind.

THE INVITATIONS!!!

You probably know that my middle son, Blake,

is getting married to a most 

delightful young lady whom I adore,

this summer.

Her mom, who has become a fast friend

and whom I call Babs,

along with my precious DIL, Jana, are 

giving those two a couple's shower.

I had the invitations started before the surgery

news but they weren't far enough along.

Oh, no, not nearly!

I've covered the front of the invitation with 

patterned paper. 

Then I made little bitty envelopes

from which hand cut hearts

of all sizes spring!

And, of course, glitter.

A tag with "You're invited" 

was adhered to the front of the envelope

and the actual invitation was

glued to the inside after

I scalloped one edge.

The envelopes had their own tag

for addressing. 

Adhered with wash tape - I love washi tape!

 I love them!

Cute invitations

were complete and in the mail

on the way to surgery.

And surgery??

Went quite well, thanks. 

Post and pics to come.

God bless you for reading!

God bless you for

your input.

I love your spirits of support.
