Oh, rumors fly fast, don't they now? Well, at least it's good news, no matter how shocking. But it is true...Blooms is expecting. Yes, I know. It's quite a shock, but I thought I could make these announcements to keep my mind free from the endless search of drumsticks, chips and salsa. You know how expectant mother's are.
See, it all started last year, and we were just thinking about it, and the more we thought about it, the more excited we became! So, I've been drudging into work every morning, sick as a dog, yet smiling to think these pains will not last forever. All the signs are there, not sleeping well at night, not comfy in my chair at work. Morning sickness, and how odd that it never really hits me til I get to my desk. Funny, eh?
Yes, I am naming my baby Liberty Belle. Isn't that a pretty name? I love the symbolism, because freedom is indeed beautiful! And I am indeed pregnant- with RETIREMENT! Yes! Only nine months to go girlfriends! Wooo-hooo! Fortunately, I do have a Midwife, Margaret (vintage stamper) who keeps a close eye on me at work. She is priceless. (and soon to be expecting her own retirement baby, shortly after me!)
So Kush, there ya have it. The story is out, and the leak was started by your own sweet hand! Oh, the stories in Jammer Town. No need to plan a baby shower, either. I have all I need, in Cody, Wyoming!
Hush now....Liberty is having some sweet dreams of Jonny and Audrey. Shh......
Thanks for looking!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
life is something that happens only when you run out of cardstock
