Baby Shower Thank You Cards

Hello All:

I must first start my post off by saying isn't great when your friends know what you like. One of my good pals knows that I love to monogram. So for Christmas what did Char get me for christmas the JustRite DIY Monogram Stamper Kit. I screamed like a little kid. Ok, this is enough about me.

One of my little play sisters just had her first baby and her name is Kaylah. Well Miss Kaylah wasn't supposed to be here until January 27th, but she decided to come into the world on January 15th this past Thursday. As a gift I made Kaylah some thank you cards so that her mom could send out thank you for all the gifts that were received. Kaylah's baby shower was this Saturday and Kaylah made a grand entrance for everyone to see her.

I made this thank you cards with retired supplies.

Coffe Mug

Hello All I do hope that everyone had a good holiday. Mines was quiet but it was nice to be off from work.

In my office there is about 45 employees and I like to give everyone in our department a little something. So I found these mugs in my garage and decided to give them to six of the girls in the office. I used designer paper that is retired but I am glad to be using it instead of hoarding it.

I do believe that I am using this stamp set for my holiday card.
