Stamped with Love

I seem to have reached the age where friends and family around me are all falling pregnant are a rate that makes one question what is being put in Brisbane water.   Those who aren't getting pregnant are getting engaged and married.

I like to make cards - not because I think it's cheaper than buying one, although a nicely handmade card can work out cheaper -  but for the same reason I like to write letters.  The time taken to choose paper, write the letter, stamp it and slip it in a post-box is a gesture that shows that you care, that they are worth the time and effort taken.   A handmade card often means that the person made something unique, possibly with you in mind when they crafted it.   And that is a very heart-warming thought.

With that in mind, I've set myself to making cards for friends and coworkers who have caught the baby-bug.   Below are some of the ones I've made this week:

For Marika - a lovely coworker from my team.

For Naomi- a lovely coworker on the floor below my office.

For good friend and coworker - Tania.  (shhh... she hasn't received it yet!)

I've also made an engagement card for a friend however she reads this blog and it hasn't been sent to her yet.... so it will have to wait. :)
