My friend Paula and I decided to take the kids to Cornbelly's for some Autumn fun. It was soooo cold, however the kids loved it. They were so excited they could hardly stand it. There are so many wooden structures to play on, the boys kept running from one to the other, then back again. It was fun to see them have such a good time, even if I did freeze.

Doilie Envelopes??? I love it.
I saw this on-line and absolutely love the idea. I make a lot of cards and how perfect would it be to send out bridal shower invites wrapped in a doilie envelope. I LOVE IT!! Can't wait to try it.
Step by step guide to doily invite
a) Select a doily that can fully cover your old cardstock when folded on 4 sides. I used found cardstock, which is really just an old library card measuring 4 and 7/8" by 3" (124 by 77mm) and a doily 7" (178mm) in diameter. I love it that old paper stock usually comes in round imperial measurements.
b) Fold in the flaps by the sides first, followed by the flap below.
c) Fold down the top flap and seal it with a kiss. In this case, I used Herma Self-adhesive label No. 2213, 8mm in diameter.
d) Turn card over and addess with another adhesive label. I typed guest names on Herma adhesive label No. 2253, 19mm in diameter. I could use a round label as guests to this party did not have long names.
Play around with sizes and textures. Cardstock with colour works better than white ones as the contrast enhances the pattern of the doily

To Save a Life
Well I did it. I registered on BE THE MATCH to become a bone marrow donor. My sisters friend has a 5 week old baby with SCIDS. The baby will need to have a bone marrow transplant very soon. In the mean time it will live in a sterile environment at Primary Children's Hospital. My prayers go out to this family who is going through this, and I am praying that I can be a match and make a difference in this baby's life.
