Happy Birthday, my dear child!

Happy Sunday everyone! I have a question to every parent out there, where does time go when you are not looking at your kids? It's like yesterday you were just taking them out of the hospital, making sure you were strapping them safely in the car seat... All of the sudden today they are asking you if it's the right time for that (gasp!) driver's permit class. My youngest turned 15 this past week, and it's been a little bit of an adventure for me. A bittersweet kind of one. My sweet little boy is changing, and kind of fast for me. But it's OK  and it is a part of life. He is still a very thoughtful, loving son to me. Now don't get me wrong, he is still a teenager...enough said! But I still see glimpses of that little toddler, my little ray of sunshine in the morning that used to make me smile every day! For him I made this card, because every afternoon when I pick him up from school this is what I see. Looks familiar? :-)

She is a lady

Hello everybody! Hope everything is well with you. Today's creation is a step ladder card. I had a little difficulty with this one, what a surprise, right? :) As with everything that I try for the first time, and being the perfectionist that we crafters tend to be, well... you can imagine! But, I didn't let some folds and cuts get the best of me and after some stomping on the floor, mumbling unintelligible words to myself, my husband asking what was going on, and some light screaming... I prevailed! Here is the beautiful Lady Tilda.
