two of the eight handlings Cali wanted to make her wedding announcements. Even when I reminded her there was only four weeks until the wedding. Even when I reminded her she works full-time. Even when I reminded her that each announcement would be handled at least eight times through production. Even when I reminded her we were talking hundreds not ten. Good for Cali for holding tight to what she wanted, because the last two days have been spent handling those invitations with her—from shopping for the paper to watching her design them to helping her put them together. She only called me her slave once and asked if she was bride-zilla twice. What a great time spent laughing and visiting with her and if she ever doubts my love for her I will remind her of the time she decided to make her wedding announcements.

What a great mom you are. Good luck with them. They look beautiful, which I knew they would with all yours and Cali's talents and creativity.
I'm so excited for Calli and you. Please let me know if I can help with ANYTHING!!! I'm excited to see the announcements.
That's a huge undertaking if each one must be handled 8 times! What a sweet project for the two of you to work on together.
Oh what a perfect example of love!
Only a mother's love.
That last sentence -- I love it. What a great thing to have on the record!
Truly a labor of love! And what a memory it will be for you two. Can we see the finished product sometime?
this is such a perfect LOVE spt!!
Very neat post! I am so happy for Cali. She may have been surprised but I don't think many of us at Easton were shocked by the news. She didn't mention in her blog that the wedding is in 4 weeks. Oh my goodness. That is not much time. Good luck!
That is indeed an act of love. I'm so excited for you and Cali.
A four week engagement? Wow! I am guessing you may be a little busy this month.
Wow you are going to be busy! Enjoy and have a wonderful time making them they look like they will be beautiful
They are beautiful! And how exciting that Cali is getting married!
Wow! You two are amazing - especially with only 4 weeks to go but I'm sure you'll be able to get them done. I remember just addressing all of our envelopes and the task that was. A handmade touch is so lovely and worth it though.
Jane! I'm completely at your disposal and would feel completely honored to help! I will bug you until the very day of the reception to help, so you best be coming up with something for me to do.
Very cute invites by the way!
4 WEEKS?!?!
Wow- I am behind! Congrats to Cali! 4 weeks?!?! And I thought my engagement was short :)
I am sure these are going to be the most beautiful announcements ever and something to laugh about down the line. How fun to have this memory to add to your file!
They will be beautiful, memorable, and unique! A mother's love is a perfect love!
WOW! That is awesome. A huge undertaking and will be absolutely beautiful I am sure. I think that definatley qualifies as love!!
:-)
Jane, as we already knew, you are a fabulous mother. But, you have fabulous kids. It's really a chicken/egg type thing, isn't it? Are you fabulous because you have been the mom to fabulous kids, or are have they turned out fabulous in part because of your fabulousness?? I vote the latter, but either way, it has sure worked splendidly for you.
PS - I love the announcements. I am like Cali with surprises, and when she told me she had a BIG one for me, I was a bit apprehensive of setting my sights too high. She blew them out of the water.
four weeks?! Wow. I love handmade announcements. It's a little glimpse into the personalities of the bride and groom. They look great, by the way.
"Verb-Thats whats happening" Lots of Love for that slave driver is whats happening... Have fun, its all in the memories.. :)
I wish I lived closer so I could come and help with the invitations. You know that I have experience with announcements. Good luck and let me know if I can help from this side.
Congratulations! How fun for you! You will be an amazing mother to your new son :)
The invitations look beautiful and are truly a labor of love...
