Mojo Monday...Surprise Hop for Julee!

Hi and welcome to this very special edition of Mojo Monday...in the form of a surprise blog hop for Julee! You should have arrived here from Jen Tapler's blog. There is a complete list of hoppers on Teresa's blog if there's a break along the way. Some of you may know, or not know that Julee Tilman, owner/illustrator of Verve Stamps, brains and talent behind Mojo Monday and Queen Diva of card making in my opinion...is pregnant with twins! And due next month! So us Verve Divas and Mojo Makers paired up to honor her with some card goodness and friendly advice as she ventures onto this next new, exciting phase of her life!  First I'll show you my card, with some close-ups and then onto my pearls of wisdom on motherhood:

I could only find one baby image...I know that there are two coming, though!

I initially used some green liquid pearls that I TOTALLY misjudged the colors on, so I put some other pearls on top of the icky ones:

Eww...you can see the green really well in this one:

 As far as the advice goes, this should sum it up:

 Haha...seriously, Julee...the one thing that I can't stress enough is to take A LOT OF PICTURES! You think you'll always remember them the way they are, but it turns out that time goes by so fast...you don't even realize it.
Now for some more crafty inspiration and pearls (of wisdom) it's onto Debbie Carriere's blog!

And some more sage words....A day goes on forever, but the years fly by. It's true...believe me. :)
Best of luck to you and Mark...I know that you two will make wonderful parents!
