E-M-I-L-Y

Well, my friend, The Funny Pregnant Lady (FPL) finally had her baby.  Emily was born on April 12^th, 2012.  She weighed in at 9 lbs. 9 oz and measured 20.5” long.  If you’re thinking WOAH!, then Woah baby is right! 

Emily Rose

You can read all about the delivery on her blog at Funny Pregnant Lady.

Because she and her family moved to Texas a few months ago, I had no idea what present to send Ms. Emily.  So, the brainstorming began.  I wanted something that wouldn’t be so heavy or too bulky to ship. 

I had been eyeing the 3-D letters kit from SVG Cuts and finally decided it was time to get it.  I made her these beautiful letters spelling E-M-I-L-Y for her mommy to place where-ever she wanted to display them in her room.  I can tell you that I am still in awe as to what she did.

Much love!
