Birthday
Seventeen
The years are short, but the days are long… It’s so true. While there are days that may feel like a never-ending struggle with a toddler, the toddler years will fly by and be a distant memory before you know it. Then you’re knee deep in school and homework and activities. Add in a “fun sport” and you’ll never have a free moment. Suddenly, they are starting high school and you’re wondering if both of you are going to survive their teen years. … [Read more...] about Seventeen

Who needs a birthday to have an excuse to celebrate? Not me!

Sweet Sixteen
A very special young lady turned 16 yesterday. My baby is growing up so fast. I am constantly thankful that she is such an amazing, warm, and caring person. She constantly thinks of others first and she's always willing to lend a helping hand. She is a treasure. One of Maddie's quirks is her unending love for Winnie the Pooh. Pooh as been her constant companion since she was very small. I think it started with the fact that he … [Read more...] about Sweet Sixteen
Happy Birthday
I think one of the most common cards I make is a Birthday card. It can be a challenge to come up with new ideas every time. While making this card, I realized my go-to for birthday cards is to use flowers. I tend to use flowers before I reach for any cake or party stamps.
