    So I got an e-mail from cardsandpockets.com today saying the package containing all the stuff to make my invites ought to arrive today. I was late leaving for work because I was soooo hoping the box would arrive before I left! Gah! It didn't! So I then spent the afternoon texting my FI asking/reminding him to check the mail for a box, please!, when he got home from work. Finally he sent me a text at 7pm saying it was there when he stopped home at 4pm and he left it unopened before he went to his parent's place (the reason for his going there is Super Sad! His kitty, an old man at 21(!), had to be put down this morning due to organ failure. :_( His mom is soo broken up about it he went over to comfort her.)

    Anywhooo...I raced home, tore open the box and...*sigh* prettier then imagined! Yay! My first instinct was to proceed straight to the invite printing, cutting, hole punching, etc. I. AM. SO. EXCITED! My camera chose tonight to decide not to turn on (trying to charge the battery to see if that is the problem...) so no pictures, but

    my outter envelopes are

    A7 5.25"x7.25" Euro Flap Envelopes in Snow White

    My pocketfolds are

    5"x7" Signature Pocketfolds in Persian Blue

    and my RSVP envelopes are

    3 5/8"x 5 1/8" Euro Flap Envelopes in Persian Blue

    I already bought a package of 250 sheets of 110# white cardstock paper at Office Depot for a mere $15 a week ago. I can't wait to get things moving so I can post pictures of the beautiful invites I plan to make! :D

    @crebre80- Thanks for the condolences! I'm sad over the loss of such a great cat, my FI is upset his kitty (he picked him out when he was only 5!) is dead, and my FMIL is just sooo upset. I feel so bad that I've been at work the past two days unable to go give her the hugs she so very obviously needs!

     

    @crebre80 and amanda.lynn- I can't wait either! Squeeeee! To distract myself from the knowledge that school ends in 3 weeks and I have...oh...only about 56 pages of essays to write (that is the combined total # of pages from 4 classes), I will probably do a mock-up invite sooooon! The only thing holding me back is all the school work and family obligations.
