Many of you already know SIL is pregnant with the first baby in the family...she's due in early 2007. Having never had a baby myself, I'm only speculating, but I imagine there comes a time when you just feel kind of "yuck." I wanted to send her a card to let her know how beautiful she is and what an amazing job she's doing in helping prepare this little one for the world. We unfortunately live far away from she and hubby, so cards and emails have to suffice!
It's also my first time using glitter...yay! I think I'm in love! This card is all about impulse buys...the $1 stamp and ribbon is from Michael's - I stopped in to buy adhesive this afternoon and look what I left with I've so admired all the cards in the gallery made with this stamp and just had to peek to see if they had one left...and they did! My lucky day!
TFL!

Fabulous, Meg! Your SIL will love it--you are sooooo right about feeling "yuck"! She will really appreciate that you recognize what an important job she is doing! The card is spectacular--can't believe this is your 1st time using glitter! Didn't you know that glitter is a girl's bestfriend?!

What you said about her is so touching! She is going to cry when she gets this card - because, yes, you do feel 'yuck' frequently being so stretched out of shape and waddling around. IT is so nice to hear someone say someone is beautiful while pregnant!
