Invites Ready to Mail


The wedding is in 6 weeks. Last night Cheryl and Cecilia helped me put the finishing touches on the invitations. I am so excited to mail them and even more excited to get the rsvps back! I don't know where I got the idea to use a million stamps on each invite, but I really like the way it turned out. I bought the invites from Michael's and printed them... the only problem is that the box contains exactly the amount I needed, some of the invites or responses printed crooked, now I don't have enough of all the parts to complete the task. I will have to get creative....

Cake Topper


I love this cake topper! Unfortunately it is sold out and if it wasn't it would cost $50, which I think is a little much for a cake topper.

Couldn't Keep It to Myself . . .

Couldn't Keep It to Myself:  Wally Lamb and the Women of York Correctional Institution (Testimonies from our Imprisoned Sisters) Couldn't Keep It to Myself: Wally Lamb and the Women of York Correctional Institution by Wally Lamb


My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was excellent. I was hesitant in the beginning because, although it was a "Wally Lamb Book" it wasn't actually written by Wally Lamb. By the end of the book I wished there was a sequel to Couldn't Keep it to Myself so I could continue reading for a long time. The women pour out their souls and expose their most intimate feelings and I felt so fortunate to be reading it. I am connected with these women and because of that I feel the need to write to them in prison and express my gratitude for them voicing their story. I laughed once during the book my eyes welled up numerous times and I felt a sick helpless feeling in my stomach through most of it. Emotionally captivating!
