Lexi's Upcoming Birthday

I guess its true what they say, once you get started, you just can't stop. I have another recent addiction, (thanks again to my sister-in-law Adrienne) and it is digital scrapbooking. Today, I spent a great part of my day working on my baby Lexi's invitation to her first birthday party. It really should not take over 4 hours to complete an invitation; however, I am still new at it and I will continue to use that excuse until I get faster or become less anal, whichever comes first. Joe was initially a little cross with me when he came home and the house was a total disaster. I am not talking about a simple little mess, it actually looked like a nuclear bomb had gone off throughout the entire house, so I can sort of understand his point. But I didn't have time to clean the house because I was busy making precious memories for our baby's scrapbook. Its not like I can just type something out and email it like he suggested, or call everyone and invite them over like I did with my two older kids. These things take time. Invites need to be created digitally with complicated software and then taken to Sams Club to be developed. HE-LLO! Joe quickly became appreciative of my efforts when I explained that I actually created it myself and that I didn't just cut and paste our baby's pictures in a template. He was so appreciative in fact that when I emerged from my office, I found a very clean house. THANK YOU SO MUCH BABE! So, to show the fruits of my labor, I am posting this very cute, very time consuming invitation.
