Somedays you just have to stop, stop doing the monotonous, everyday activities that create your daily schedule. Somedays you need a break from either the job you love or
hate. Today is that day for me. I woke up at 5:45 AM and decided I couldn't do it today. I needed a break. Instead I am working from home on something that supplies excitement and happiness to my soul: my sister's baby shower invitations. It's not the actual designing of the invites--t
hough I do thoroughly enjoy designing--but rather the event we are celebrating that gets me excited. I can not wait to be an aunt to my twin sister's baby. Yep, pretty sure that kid's going to be spoiled rotten...but not in a people saying, "man, that kid is spoiled, unruly, and gets away with anything" sort of way...more in a "I'm going to love him/her SO HARD that he/she will never ever question it. Anyway...that is what I am doing today. I think that's worth a break. Don't you?
Here's some sample invitations, as I haven't decided on the final choice. I'd love to hear your feedback! Which one do you like the best?
(note: these are all gender neutral, as we don't know the gender yet...and Brooke loves green)

| Not my favorite |
 |
| Cute and Simple |
 |
| One of my favorites (note: part of the left side will get cut off, which is why the table spills out of the margin a bit) |
 |
| A variation of the one above. Brooke & Garrett also love cows. |
 |
| Another favorite... but I'm afraid it's too busy. Maybe I'll take away the bow? |
 |
| A variation of the one above... no legs, just presents. |

I like the one with the REA hanging and the basket with the cow. They are all really cute and WAY more creative than the ones I am working on today for Matt's brother and his wife! :-) BTW, as for being an Aunt??? It is the COOLEST THING EVER!!! (And I say this as a mom of 4 years to two WONDERFUL children). But there is something really special about watching someone you love become a mom/dad and have that wonderful little person take over their life. Sadly, Mike and his little Claire live 5 hours away (which I guess is closer than Ohio!)...
