I can’t believe my sweet little girl is almost a month old already!  Introducing Sophie Beatrice.  The past few weeks have been a sleep-deprived blur getting to know this brand new person and trying to figure out this whole parenting thing, but I’m sure it goes without saying that we’re completely over the moon and in love with our beautiful baby.

I’m looking forward to getting back into the swing of things – and there’s so much beautiful paper that I can’t wait to share with all of you, from Halloween cards and invitations to more gorgeous calligraphy and wedding invitations.  But first, a huge thank you and lots of big hugs to the fabulous guest contributors who helped fill in over the past few weeks – Samantha and Whitney of Gus & Ruby Letterpress, Annemarie from Scout’s Honor Co., and Shauna from Forage Haberdashery – and Kelly, my amazing contributing editor, who helped keep everything running smoothly while I was away.  A million times thank you to you all!

Since I haven’t been able to do my normal Friday posts for a few weeks, I thought I’d start off with a few favorite links from the last month:
