Tea party invitations

Good grief... last week was a doozy! Sunday night (the 15th) my son got sick, and by Tuesday the entire household was laid up with an awful cold. I don't remember the last time we were all so sick. Needless to say, nothing was accomplished and I am only just now starting to feel human enough to tackle my massive to do list. Blech.

Thankfully, I managed to get my daughter's birthday party invites finished last Monday before the germs overtook me. Her party will be this Saturday and I'm {so} glad that we'll all be healthy for it!

We decided to throw a "tea" party for Lina and her little friends (even though none of us drink tea) and she is very excited. I've been collecting teacups and matching saucers from thrift stores for awhile, and after the "tea" portion of the party I'm going to wash and wrap them up to give the girls as party favors. I always loved having real dishes and glasses and things as toys when I was little, so I think they'll like that. :)

I'm not sure if I'll have a Project Life layout to share this week... seriously, we were all so sick and did nothing but stay home in bed. I took a couple pictures (of the growing pile of tissues and the stack of oils and meds we were taking, haha) but it won't make much of a layout. I think I'll just put in a little insert next week about why a week is missing.

This week is going to be busy - I'm turning the big 3-0 on Thursday and my baby girl is turning 6 on Saturday... we have company coming in from out of town, a party to throw, and a massively filthy house to clean before all of that. Whew! Wish me luck... I may not survive it all, lol!
