The Perils of the Handmade


Recently I've been working on some handmade cards for a baby shower. I made 27, all hand cut and colored, and decided to go easy on myself by printing the insides of the cards on sticker paper rather than writing out each message by hand. Boy am I glad I did! Just after I started sealing the envelopes I got an email from one of the baby shower coordinators with a completely different date and time, as well as a list of other info to include. Fortunately I've been able to remove the sticker paper without much damage to the cards, but here is the lesson: Double check, triple check! Mistakes cost much more when they're handmade!
