We are entering Birthday Season here in the Creative Compulsive household! We have 3 out 4 birthdays with in a month of each other. Baby Girl has the first birthday of the season. For her fifth birthday she has requested a bird, squirrel, butterfly party......with all of her friends from school.
I've been working on her invitation for about a week now. Our scanner is currently only scanning in black and white, so I thought I would have a little fun making vector graphics look like cutout paper. I thought, perhaps, I might talk her into just one animal. So I started with the birds. Being the generally agreeable child she is, she loved the birds. But after a few days I got to thinking that a squirrel really would be cute on the trunk of the tree....
so I added a squirrel. Baby Girl was very excited about the squirrel! I showed the invitation to Bouncing Boy, who insisted that I really should go ahead and add a butterfly...perhaps a butterfly and a flower....
so I added a butterfly and a flower. So now we have it all, 5 birds for a fifth birthday, a squirrel, a butterfly, and some bonus flowers! My Italian still needs to be proofread, and I think I will add our phone number...but it's close, very close, to being printed....except for the fact I am out of printer ink!
An invitation as fun to get as to give, setting the tone for a great birthday.
