Oh girl, I feel for you. I’ve made several invitations similar to that for work and they are a pain in the you know what. But it looks awesome and I bet your party’s going to be a blast! I was born in the year of the rat, you know!

Lulu, that is the best looking rat invitation I ever did see. Seriously, it is. i love it!

Keep one for yourself, too, so you can laugh one day about how you almost pulled your beautiful (brown, straightened, cute cut) hair out planning this. Can’t wait to hear more!

Aw, have you been to LiveJournal lately? You know, you COULD just cross-post there from here. Just a thought. I will still read you, no matter what!

Dear Lulu,

What an idea for a party. You are so creative.
Wish I could come, but I know that you & your Mom will fill me in all about it.
HAVE FUN— LOVE & BEST WISHES.

Christie – if I could only figure out how to cross-post! You might have to enlighten me…

Cross-post: a fancy way of saying “cut and paste your posts from here into LJ”. A lot of people do it, and it would broaden your audience a bit. I know my LJ friends who “friended” you would love to read your stuff! :)
