Team Brennan - Sending Love Your Way

Little Buddy still on my mind. I wake up in the mornings and the first thing I do is check his mommy’s facebook for updates on Brennan. I dread the day that the update reads "Brennan passed...". All I see when I look at pictures of this sweet little 23 month old boy is my sweet 22 month old Jaylyn. My heart hurts for the family, especially his mommy. Again, if you are able to donate anything toward Brennan’s end of life planning and to help his family pay for their regular everyday bills now that his daddy isn’t working, please do so here. Brennan’s dad deserves to be home by his son’s side until the day comes.

Here’s a card for them:

I used:

Lawn Fawn's You've Got Mail stamp set, Lawn Fawn's Bannerific stamp set, Lawn Fawn's Bon Voyage stamp set, Lawn Fawn's Say Cheese stamp set, twine from The Twinery, the paper is from October Afternoon's Sidewalk line 6x6 paper pad, the blue background is tissue paper, and the letter stickers are also from October Afternoon. 

Baby Bee Baby Shower

I'm telling you, my favorite part of being creative and making things is getting crafty for special ocassions like birthday parties and baby showers.

My baby girl (who is now almost 2) never really gave me that "OMG I'm having a girl so everything must be pink" feeling.  Instead, everytime I was told something by a family member or friend about my color choices for her nursery and baby shower, I went deeper into the non-girly color schemes :).

I fell in love with bees and fairys the entire time I had her in my belly.  Everything had something to do with bees or fairys, I mean everything! Such huge gravitational pull toward stuff that never before caught my eye.  Fairys?! Are you kidding me?! I am by far the most tom boyish girl I know.  Out of my group of girls that is.

Take a look at what I did for her baby shower invites:

I used Papertrey Ink's fabulous stamp set Baby Button Bits as well as their awesome Golden Harvest Buttons.  The ribbons are all random choices of mine that I picked up at my local crafty store.

 

 I cut all my cardstock down to size and printed them with the information and I included an insert which asked all my guest to help build a library for Jaylyn.  I love that idea (which I picked up from web browsing) because it really does help and it adds a little something extra and unique to the invite.  I love it!
