Hi Everyone – I’m back!  And before I say anything else I just want to send the biggest “thank you!” to Alyson and Maddy for being such wonderful guest bloggers last week!  I hope you all loved reading their posts as much as I did!

So, since I’m still trying to catch up from last week, I thought I’d start off with a quick round-up of some of my favorite posts from last week:

• Beautiful framed baby announcements from bird dog press
• fabulous invitations from promise tangeman via once wed
• LOVE these paper feathers that suann found over at simplesong
