Every month my Sea to Sea Stampers demonstrator group holds a themed card swap – and we take turns hosting it.  So this month it was my turn to host, and our theme was "babies".  This could be interpretted any way one wished:  "welcome baby" cards, birth announcements, shower invitations, whatever….  One of our demonstrators even interpretted that into a "1st birthday" card.

Well, today was the day the cards were due, and when I host, I prefer to just accumulate the packages as they arrive from around the country, and then open them all together.  (Seems more fun that way.)  And WOW!!!!  Were today's cards ever AWESOME!  So I'll be sharing some here eventually – once I get a chance to photograph 'em and get 'em all ready to post.

But first, there's a big family birthday dinner to carry off this weekend – in celebration of my mom's birthday…… one of those super-special ones that end in "0"!
