With a now cramping hand from addressing invitations and thank you notes—and with birth announcements and Christmas cards around the corner (and more thank yous!)—I can't help but think of more efficient ways to correspond.

I have, in all honesty, been contemplating the return address rubber stamp. But having put little time into researching what was out there, I just assumed my only option was the self inking circular stamp that you see everywhere. Shuddering at the thought of placing something so generic on our family cards, I put it off. No offense to those who use them—they do serve a great purpose.

So all I had to do was spend about 10 minutes looking on Etsy to find these great stamps! Cramping hand no more!

Farm Party

It was amazing. Everything came together exactly as I had hoped and my sweet little boy (pictured on top) couldn't have been more excited—evident by his meltdown and failure to nap later that afternoon. Obviously it was a success! Until next year...

I started working on B's birthday invites a long time ago. They looked completely different when I started. All I really had to go on at that point was that it would be on the farm. Thank goodness for a picky little boy that wanted red and white balloons at his birthday. It certainly helped push me in a better direction. There were more fun pieces designed for his celebration...photos coming soon!
