Back in early September, I was six months pregnant and brainstorming stationery ideas for a photoshoot for Seattle Metropolitan Bride & Groom with my friend Rachel from Finch & Thistle Events. I thought I have at least 3 weeks to execute some amazing ideas. But, oh well, best laid plans… Things didn’t go as well as I had hoped for. Mid September plans changed radically, and after my routine morning ultrasound I was “wheeled” to the hospital from my doctors office and told that as of today I’m starting my maternity leave. Yes, I was put on the hospital bedrest at 28 weeks! Not fun at all… Of course, I had silly, unrealistic expectations and really hoped I can work up until the due date… carrying twins! Just writing this make me laugh.

To maintain my sanity, I’ve decided to keep working on fun projects and this one was definitely the one. Rachel visited me often at the hospital and in between Terbutaline shots (to calm my contractions) and multiple doctor visits throught a day, I was able to finish this amazing stationery by early October, just in time for the shoot.

The Winter/Spring 2010 issue of Seattle Metropolitan Bride & Groom is on the newsstands now (has been since December) and I’m really excited to finally share with you this project. Thank you Rachel Bowes for inviting me to be part of this amazing collaboration. You can view behind-the-scenes on Rachel’s blog.
