Oh my goodness I have just found your website
It is too amazing!
I am a new teacher and I am off to buy a junior saw, so pencils and crayons around me are in trouble
Thank you so much for an amazing idea

I think it’s so cool how Betty and Junes birthdays are one day after the other, just like Olive and Ralph.

These are so cool by the way!

I love the idea of carrying the same theme through for siblings, even if born years apart! It gives an underlying feeling of family and connection. So adorable!! -Steph

Just saw these thanks to the link. Love these! What a treasure! I love designing birth announcements for others, but my own children didn’t even have any because of the two reasons you stated above. You are a wise woman, Gabrielle!

Love your site and am just now spending a little more time on it. The birth announcements are the cutest ever. I can’t believe you have all those kids and can still be so productive!

i’m going through my “initiation” into design mom and i’m probably going to end up commenting on all of them. i’m just warning you so you don’t think i’m a stalker.

i too am a designer and a mom, formerly of nyc, presently of nc. i think your blog is fabulous — you’ve quickly become one of my “check every day” blogs. and your birth announcements are gorgeous. great thinking jobbing these out. we were slaving over ours when my daughters were 2 months old (twins) and, although i’m happy with the results, i wouldn’t want to do it again.

Your announcements ARE great! And there’s this added bonus: Along with the announcement, you also get Betty.

Those are great. Thanks for posting all of them. I remember when you sent us Oscar’s last year. They really are the cutest.

Sharon, I haven’t heard of Olive’s Ocean. Can’t wait to check it out.

You’re baby names are perfect. Olive and Maude are my favorites. Have you ever read the young adult book called Olive’s Ocean? Every since I read that book I wanted to name one of my future kids Olive.

Robin, Olive was born in 2001. (I forgot to have Apryl put it on the announcement, so next to Apryl’s signature on my original, I added the year, just in case I forget.)

Megan, yes, she can do it from across the country. In fact, she currently lives in Seattle and it was no problem that I was in New York. Just contact her through her website: http://www.aprylstottdesign.com

She’ll do a sketch and email it to you in b&w. Once you’re happy with it, she’ll make the illustration in color and mail it to you. You can make print-outs of it for the mail on your home printer if you’re interested. Ask her for the price when/if you contact her.
