Never say Never!

Look what now sits in my garage!

Yes, it's a minivan!!?!! Something I said I would never own! With 4 kids on the way, my Honda CRV wouldn't get us all home from the hospital, so practicality and economical choices took over and now a new Honda Odyssey is mine Never say never!

5 years ago I said I'd never move out of the city, but I quickly found I could get more house for the money in the suburbs, so I sacrificed and moved to a first tier suburb with the same area code at least. When the housing market strengthens we'll probably move to a much further souther suburb closer to my parents. Never say never!

Growing up my mom always said she wished she'd had twins. Once in high school, I babysat for 6 month old twins and said I never want twins. Then I got twins. After P&A arrived I wouldn't have had it any other way. With another set due this summer, I guess I'm destined to carry and be a mother to twins. Never say never! (Now my mom will have 2 sets of twins.)

It's amazing how the journey of one's life follows different paths as one's life changes. Change is constant and no matter how my life has changed, I love it and wouldn't change a thing. I look forward to many more changes the new year will bring. How about you?

Rainbow love

The violet invitation design in rainbow colors with gold. LOVE, LOVE how they turned out!  I was excited when designing them digitally but seeing in print on natural white made me gush with joy! The bride loved them too.    The gold envelopes add an extra touch of excitement along with the invite and postcard rsvp. These are the save the dates, in greens and blues and grey.  (they did have rounded corners too, in my excitement to photograph while the sun was out and wind was low, I obviously forgot to round the corners) Planning a wedding or event? I'd love to work with you. Send me a note s tephanie@steliedesigns.com
