A lot has been going on in the past month, so I have some major blog posting to catch up on. We’re going to start off with pictures from James’ Mom’s birthday party. It was a surprise party put on by Joe, Olivia’s good friend Liz and me.
I took care of invitations and putting together a party book that attendees signed and some non-attendees virtually signed. I’m currently working on adding pictures from the party to it, so give it two weeks and then ask Olivia to see her party book. I made the invitation in Serif Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 using Missy’s Bits Sugar Plum kit. I then printed them with Costco’s 6.5×7 photo card option that comes with envelopes.
Olivia's Birthday Party Invitation
Olivia actually arrived early, 10 minutes early. It was kind of ironic since she is usually late. It was very difficult to keep it a surprise, but she was definitely surprised when she arrived.

Liz took care of the cakes and some decor. She also found a really great 60 beaded necklace we insisted Olivia wear.

Overall, the party was a huge success and I think everyone had a great time.
Can’t wait to see my book. I know I will love it. The party was a lot of fun and I was surprised. I thought ya’ll might be up to something, but I had no idea what. Enjoyed all of the pictures.
