Projects

This is going to shock those of you who know me well, because I am not usually up for projects; however, I currently have a project in the works {two projects if you count Trent's nursery!}

I am attempting to design our Christmas cards this year. Remember when I wrote about buying Adobe Photoshop Elements? Well, as you've probably noticed by the ever-changing blog design, I am slowly figuring out how to use it. After talking to my friend Sarah, I decided to give Christmas cards a whirl. I made three different cards this weekend, uploaded them to Kodak, then ordered one print of each card. If I like one of them, I plan on saving it to a CD and taking it to Costco to make lots of copies. If it doesn't work, we will probably wait and send birth announcements and skip the Christmas cards. Here is one we will probably not use {because Bailey is missing!!}...


**Yes, I decided to use a picture from July because Mike is now bald (but still cute), and I am now large (but not so cute)

As for the nursery, it is slowly coming along. Here is where the little man will sleep...



And last but certainly not least, here are my two loves...


**I'm currently wishing the B girl was bald too, because she's shedding like crazy!

So many comments... First, I am super impressed that you are tackling Christmas cards already (they look great)! Also, the bedding looks great with the crib that you chose! Finally, Mike really does look good bald - you're right about him having a nice shaped head! :)

All 3 pictures are adorable. . .and you're not large, you're pregnant (and believe me when I say large is several weeks off. I thought I was large at 28 weeks; that was until I hit 39 weeks. It's all a matter of perspective! :)) I love the nesting April - you're so cute!

You are so good! But I still vote for a more recent picture...show off that belly girl, and Mike is the cutest bald guy I have ever seen. I love the bedding and the crib! Can't wait to see the finished product (and the baby that goes in it!)

Brandi said...

I second the motion for a more recent picture. You are so cute pregnant and that way Trent can be in the card as well. The bedding looks great and that is by far the prettiest crib I have ever seen! :) Mike looks great! Hope he is feeling okay. See you Sunday.

I love the bedding...wow you are making me feel very behind. I have ordered bedding but it probably won't be here until Thanksgiving. We have not painted...I have no clue about Christmas Cards and we don't have any good pictures from when I was not so large so I am thinking Jan. baby announcements might be the way to go!
