It happens ya know. You tell someone that you will do something for them and it completely slips your mind, because other things crowd thier way in there. That is what happened to me, oh, let's say 8 months ago.
You see, I was invited to a baby shower, some 9 months ago and I brought a gift but I really wanted to make announcements too as part of her gift. She didn't know what she was having yet and I would have to wait and not be johnny-on-the-spot with them already done.
Well, the baby came and I went on our annual big vacation and .... let's just say those announcements just never appeared.
Months later I remembered, I know how absolutely awful, I will admit this does happen and how much of an idiot I feel like.
The dear NEVER said anything but graciously smiled at me when I remembered and said "Oh my goodness, I never made the announcements. I'm sorry. Can I make announcements for his 1st birthday????" Please..... I am begging.... let me make them!!!! I know you don't normally "announce" a child's 1st birthday but why not???? It is a milestone right????
So these are the two that I came up with....as a matter of fact, when I got here I told my sis that all I was going to stamp were these announcements. These were the first two that came out of the shoot:
Karrie likes both cards, but this one she favors:
Whereas I like both cards, but favor this one. This one I envisioned before I even put it on paper:
At this point in my timeline of things, not only will she get whatever number of announcements that she wants, but envelopes with stamps on them for cryin' out loud!
Better late than never I suppose!
I still remember how amazing it was to get Talia's......you're such the artist! This kind of treat is welcome at ANY time :D

Hmmm....that is tough. While the first one is adorable with the gnome, I think the hedgehog wins out. And we are so flaky, we didn't send out any announcements other than electonic ones. So, for the first birthday I think I will send an updated picture to family. Oh, I guess I could include our Christmas letter from last year that never got written!
