Today's treat holder is a mini mailbox, complete with "love you" flag. The flag arm is glued in the up position.

Cruising into adulthood like…
Tomorrow, this kid will turn 19. I can’t believe it. It’s amazing how quickly the years have flown by. That saying "the days are long, but the years are short” is so very true.

I have loved watching you grow through years. I have enjoyed each fun new phase of your life. The fun crazy … [Read more...] about Cruising into adulthood like…
