In other news, I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things with my work, doing little small projects done. I just finished this birth announcement. It's 2 colors, printed on the cottony soft, ultra thick Crane's Lettra letterpress paper. It's a tea-length card with a photo affixed with a brad at the end. If you swing the photo out of the way, it reveals a kitten underneath! The envelope says "special delivery" on the front and has the return address and a little kitten on the back. It was so fun to design and put together. A real joy for me and a nice distraction.
I also finished up some baby thank you notes for my cousin as a baby shower gift. I had done her shower invitations, so I made the letterpressed cards to match. Another fun project! I made some extras for sale on my etsy shop.
My next projects are some new flat stationery card designs...some neat animals to come to go along with the turtle, frog, hummingbird, and penguin. Look for that next week! I promise I am back to writing more frequently now; thanks for sticking with me through my medical delay!

Oh Megan, the new cards are just beautiful! Ih'm so sorry you are going through so much. I hope you are fully recovered soon. My thoughts are with you:)
Hi Megan:
Glad to see you are posting and creating again. I hope you are well. Last year I lost someone very close to me and one thing that helped me was when someone told me to assign a time each day for grieving. It sounds odd, but it helped me continue to function. It's not that the sorrow will leave you by devoting an hour a day for grieving, but it allows you to really release some of the feelings at during a private time. As an independent designer, I was very afraid of losing it in front of my clients (I was on the verge of tears for many months), so this technique helped.
I hope you find peace and solace.
Erin
