Fab Freebie: We’ve Got An Announcement

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

Here’s our announcement: people are awesome! We’re still amazed by all of the congrats, love, and generosity that have been flung our way since Clara’s birth. Seriously, we just can’t say “thank you” enough. But perhaps this week’s giveaway counts as one way that we’re showing our gratitude… by paying it forward a bit for you guys at home.

See, we hadn’t really ever planned to do formal birth announcements for Clara. But then our email buddy Mollie from The Paper Cafe (who we befriended way-back-when during this address stamper giveaway) insisted that we accept her baby gift to us: complimentary announcements from her vendor Take Note! Designs. We happily accepted on the condition that she (and Sarah from Take Note!) do another giveaway with us so our readers could share in the freebie fun… and thus today’s freebie was born. Which is awesome because, well, the designs are awesome.

So one of you is gonna win $100 towards any order from Take Note! Designs (plus everyone else will be scoring a discount on Thursday!). Even if you don’t have a baby to announce, you could grab a Benjamin’s worth of invitations, thank you notes, holiday cards, or other greetings. And if you’re anything like us, you’ll have a rough time picking out just one design.

Take Note Other Designs

We finally did manage to agree on a design for our big Clara announcement, and here’s how it all turned out (thanks again to our friend Dana Duncan for taking such a sweet picture of our then one-week-old little girl).

    My dearest friend is due August 21st and these would be a wonderful way for her to share her little one’s arrival (and let everyone know the gender since they are being surprised).
    Also, Clara’s yawn/smile picture is simply adorable!

    I’VE GOT AN ANNOUNCEMENT! I was just turned onto this blog since I’m preparing to dive into some home improvement projects. I’m thrilled with what I’ve seen so far and look forward to sharing my journey once it officially begins. (P.S. Congratulations on sweet, Clara! As the mother of two little girls (4 years and 14 months), I can definitely say that “girls rock”!)

    I’VE GOT AN ANNOUCEMENT…

    We just found out today that we’re unable to have children on our own. Maybe someday we’ll announce a miracle of our own, maybe someday we’ll announce a miracle of adoption. Either way, we’re believing that we’ll someday get to announce the beginning of our family. :)
