Wow - it's been a while, hasn't it? :) Summer is finally here meaning I have a little more time to play!
Speaking of which, camp is calling my name!
What about you? Any fun plans for the summer?

Butterflies for Riley
It's time for another baby post! This time, very close family friends are expecting their first baby. My aunt hosted the baby shower and as a special surprise to the mom-to-be, ordered live butterflies that each guest was able to release (what a fun idea!). Unfortunatelly, the shower took place while I was on the road and I was unable to attend.
Since I knew of the "butterfly" plans ahead of time, I wanted to do something special to make up for the fact that I couldn't be there in person. I commissioned my good friend, Jenn Shurkus to make a canvas for the nursery. The only problem, is we had no idea what the room colors were! There was no indication of a color theme by looking at the registry as the bedding was being hand made. The only info my aunt and I were able to get from the mom-to-be was that it had chevrons, birds, and was pink, orange, and grey - but I wanted to make sure the colors were spot on. After a lot of sleuthing, the nice folks at The Baby Guy sent me a photo of the bedding fabric so Jenn could color match. I love how it turned out:
I know the butterfly stressed poor Jenn out, but I think it turned out so cute :) I especially love the touch of grey on the border. Thanks, Jenn, for making the canvas so quickly and shipping it out to me in time for the shower!!!
I tried to match my card to the bedding too:
and had fun wrapping up the gift...
Just wish I could have been there in person! Best of luck to the new parents!
