The Announcement

so everyone knows the statement 'when pigs fly'. well, as i was thinking of how in the world we were going to tell people about the news, this is all that kept popping into my head. how appropriate right? so...i decided to run with it. i found the little photo online and fell in love immediately. it just clicked. then we went to michaels and bought the cardstock, photo corners and glue and came home to put them all together.

now the idea only came to me 2 days before telling family (very typical of the creative mind). so we had our work cut out for us for the next couple of nights. i pulled out the old typewriter of which we have always adored since bringing it home from the antique shop in cincinnati. we thought it would be the perfect tool to tell the message we couldn't seem to bring our own mouths to announce.

although we did a pretty good job of getting most of them done, we didn't get these out to everyone. at this point, since most everyone knows, i figured i'd post it on the blog so everyone could enjoy it. it's a simple little handmade announcement that has grown to be very special to us. i guess you could say that this is our first creative thing that the baby has inspired us to do.

if you're feeling a little left out and well...you just must have one of these little guys. let us know and we'll see what we can do for you. they were really fun to create and i have to admit, it really isn't the same on the computer screen as it is in your hand. we have the stuff to do it, we have the inspiration to do it, it's just making the time that's been a little more interesting as of late.
