Yep, that’s how long until my due date. October 1st. The time has flown by and I’m hoping the next two months will too. The room is ready and the baby shower is next week so it’s full steam ahead! I’m thankful that I’ve had an easy pregnancy so far.

I’ve started looking into getting the cards printed up and so far it’s looking good. It shouldn’t cost too much to get them printed and because they’re an easy job it will take less time too. I’m hoping for a quote to come via email on Monday so I can’t wait now to get them organised and start selling them. Here’s another image I might use:

I’ve been trying to think of a way to use my artistic skills to raise some money for SIM’s Niger Famine Relief Project and I think I’ve thought of one way. I did some sketches while we were there for SIL for some literacy booklets and I’m going to look into turning these into cards and selling them. Just getting them printed up in black ink and then painting into them with watercolour might just work! I’m excited about this now! I might see about selling them in a set of 6 for around $12/pack. Not sure if that sounds too cheap but I’m not a very good judge on what people would be prepared to pay (I’m open to suggestions!). Anyway, here’s a sample of one of the images I’d be using:
