Man oh man you guys had the MDUC DT complaining this week - but all for the RIGHT reasons - LOL. The standard of entries this week was fabulous and all of your gorgeousness made it extra difficult for the gals to vote on the winner and Top 5. But I cracked the whip and they knuckled down and voted. This week we'd like to congratulate our winner......

Lillemor's work is always gorgeous and this birthday tag is no exception! The attention to detail is magical and I know I've spent some time soaking in all of the fabulous ideas here. If you want to see more of Lillemor's gorgeous work I suggest you pop on over to her blog HERE.

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #155 {Inspirational Photo PLUS Surprise Baby Shower} - BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT plus Winner and Top 5

WOW - we couldn't have planned our Surprise baby shower any better - Louise delivered a healthy baby girl on july 17th at 18:28. She weighed in at 3870 g and was 52 cm long Her name is Ella Sigrid Josefin. Everything went really well and mother and baby are now home getting to know each other from the outside. Of course the announcement caused much excitement among us here at MDUC and Louise was happily facebooking away within a couple of hours of the delivery - she's an amazing woman - LOL. Check out this gorgeous photo of Ella taken a mere 2 hours after she entered the world - all together now - aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!
