My cleaning lady came today -- and she saw the table I have set up in my Living Room to collect stuff for the Shackapaloosa. She asked what it was all about -- and I showed her one of the projects I have for my Shoebox -- the Onesie card.

Well, her first grandchild was just born a few days ago, and she wants to use the Onesies for the birth announcements! Before I knew it, I offered to make the birth announcements for her. So, when I get back from Shackapaloosa, I will be making about 30 birth announcements!!!

Fortunately, these cards are really quick and easy to make, and I'm delighted. Her daughter is in her first year of college and not married...:no2:
Money is tight -- I'm glad to help.

BTW -- just because this always makes me laugh -- at 51 years old, I am the mother of one child -- an 11-year old. My cleaning lady, now a grandmother, just turned 45....:laugh:

Nancy, I'd love to see the onesies you make at 'palooza. I have one cut out, but haven't decorated it at all. Will you take a photo of the ones the ladies make at Shackapalooza please.

Nancy, that is so kind of you to do. Homemade announcements are so much more fun to receive then a store bought one. Hugs, Heather

CAn't wait to see your completed projects- Very nice of you to do announcements- you are a young 51-the new 50 is really 40 you know.
I sure hope you have fun at Palooza- you guys will be making a ton of stuff-mostly I would be talking and not stamping tho.
