nine is fine

Nine IS Fine! But, where did my baby go? We find it hard to believe that nine years have passed by so quickly. Now, when I was getting up 4 times a night to nurse her for a year, I didn't think I would ever catch up on my sleep. I wouldn't give up the nursing experience, but I would gladly have accepted any of my three children to sleep through the night before they were a year old...but they didn't.

Isabella requested a Pink and Orange birthday party. Total surprise that it wasn't a Pink, Pink and more Pink party, actually, but pink and orange we accomplished.

Using my word processing program, I designed the invitation as a 5x7, but printed on the lighter colored side and trimmed the paper a bit longer so that I could score and fold it over.  I then added a border punched from some orange textured cardstock. I used a french knot made with baker's twine to adorn the pink flower {it's a dingbat font}, this time using Strawberry, one of the four new colors from The Twinery. FYI | It wasn't too bulky that I couldn't send these through the mail.

And how about matching thank you notes? Check! 

We'll be making these cupcakes for the Nine is Fine Pink and Orange birthday party. Mmmmm.
