Favor?

Here is how I spent my weekend (aside from worrying about my Grandma...)

My friend Michelle helped with putting the chocolates in the bags. Ay yi yi - it was a big project!

Cutting the favor tags on my new 12x12 paper cutter

I cut a lot of these buggers.

I added some color using chalks.

And I had a little 'help from my friends' as I watched a Beatles DVD while working on my laptop.

Yum! Chocolate Covered Sunflower Seeds! I ordered 24 pounds of these babies!

Each bag was carefully filled. Then I folded and stapled the tags on top. Voila! Wedding favors at a fraction of the price (of ordering them pre-made). Of course it took all weekend....

They look lovely! For me, the week leading up to the wedding was so much fun and so memorable. I hope it is for you too. And I am glad your grandmother is in good spirits and hopefully will attend the wedding.

I'm thinking of you!

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
