Ok, it can’t just be me. But I can not believe that it is already spring! It means that it is time for Spring holidays, events, gifts, and announcements!

It seems like spring is one of those seasons that you always have something to celebrate or announce not matter what your stage in life is. Our first baby step into the grown up world is sending out your graduation announcements! Then you blink and you starting to plan your wedding! You can start with save the date cards and then you are sending out wedding invitations and announcements.

Then come baby showers and birth announcements! Then traditionally (I know we did), you move and move until you find a house that is made for your family. Then be responsible! Send out cards saying that you have moved!!! This is one of the least celebrated but most practical announcements;).

Then we start over with graduation announcements, save the date cards and the like for our children. Through it all we still have gifts to buy and memories to organize. With Mother’s Day and Father’s Day coming up it is a perfect time for photo books! With 3 sets of grandparents who don’t live around us, well needless to say there is a high demand for pictures! So they make the perfect gifts. Speaking of photo books….
