Good morning, my dears! How was your weekend? Mine was wonderful. Learning to give eye drops to a three year old was a little bit stressful at first, but thankfully we've got it all figured out now (thanks to spur-of-the-moment stories he actually enjoys it now...go figure) and we're back to normal again. We were able to spend a lot of time just doing things together, which is always nice.
Plus, I went through all the photos on my computer and organized them. There were so many! I find that we have more digital files of photos than actual printed ones these days. Is it the same for you, too? I was forced to clean them out to make room for new photos of stationery for the shop.
The Baby's Breath stationery is one of my favorites. I started designing it a few months ago with a friend's expected baby girl in mind. She'd been recently diagnosed with a condition similar to, but more severe than, my Lily's. As I was thinking about it I sat down to draw, which led to my sketching this spray of baby's breath. It's name, fragility and delicate nature just seemed perfect for such a precious baby girl. Lastly, as I was adding color, I decided to go with a blushing pink for the blossoms instead of the standard white because pink is the color of life.
That's too funny...I often laugh at my frames around the house that are usually full of really old pictures because I just don't take the time to get them printed at the store since they're already downloaded into my computer. I just need to sit down and do it all at once. Thanks for the motivation.
I LOVE the baby's breath stationary...it turned out beautifully.
