best in utero baby name ever's notecards

i think most couples with a baby on the way have a funny or clever nickname that they call the baby until it arrives and its real name is revealed.  ours with rush was ".5," as in a half person addition to our head count of two.  the whole pregnancy, it was "point five" this and "point five" doesn't like that (meat in the first trimester - ick) all the live long day.  it really stuck and i even slipped a couple of times right after he was born and had a real name...and i was really doped up too, which i'm sure didn't help.

my friend mary beth contacted me about doing notecards for a friend of hers that is expecting her first baby boy, as a gift to give her at the shower she was throwing for her...and even better, getting everyone to write their address on an envelope so the thank yous got a little head start (great idea!).  then she told me what her friend was calling the little bambino before it made its debut....the little matzo ball.  i mean, how hilarious. i just love it. 

mary beth's friend decorated her nursery in bright, primary colors, so we fashioned the cards in royal blue and yellow, with yellow matching envelopes.  mary beth said that the expectant mama loved the cards so much, she wanted to save them and not use them.  ah...that is the best compliment because i totally do that with stationery that i just can't bear to see gone.

the new parents love sports...so we made the ball "bounce" away from the text.

all the best to little matzo ball's parents :)

have a great weekend!!
