Since (I think) most people we mailed Toben's birth announcements to have received them by now (or will be receiving them within a day or two) I thought I'd go ahead and post it on here as well for the handful of you who read this blog!
Yep, Jordan, you're right -- I did make these. It was so much fun! I don't know about selling announcements on etsy -- you'll have to fill me in on the "ways of etsy"! I do know that the more I use Photoshop and do more photo editing, the more I enjoy it. In some ways, it is a stress reliever for me. Is that a sign of a good hobby??
I ended up just having these printed as a 5x7" picture through Shutterfly, although I looked and looked all summer for a site to upload this JPEG image and have it printed on 5x7" cardstock -- to no avail. All of the online printing services I found would only do their own templates or would not print one-sided cardstock with my full image. I guess I'll keep looking until I find what I'm thinking of, but until then I think the announcement looked fine printed out as a matte photo.
How could it NOT look just fine with that cutie on there? :) Toben is three weeks old now. Wow. Those pictures were taken when he was just one week old -- back in the good old days when he was actually sleeping at night. I think he's a bit mixed up now and has days and nights reversed. I know it will even out soon, but I'm definitely living on strength and energy only the Lord can provide at this time!
Well, Caleb is tuned into a neat show on PBS, Logan is out with Na, and Toben is napping. I think I know what I need to be doing as well...........zzzzzzzZZZZZzzzzzzzz.......... Later, y'all.
(btw... I totally left a comment to try to win the business cards as seen above...)
