Birthday Gift

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Tuesday! We had ice last night and we woke up to nothing but a sheet of ice.

This upcoming Saturday my husband and I have a surprise 40th birthday party to attend. Since I really don’t know the wife that well (I really only see her at gatherings) I decided that I would give her something that she can appreciate for many years. I did a layout of their recent wedding that she will be able to hang up in their new house.

To display the layout I bought a display case from Michaels. I do hope that she will enjoy this gift.

I used my July Swirlydoos Kit “Sweet Summer Serenity”

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope all of the Mother’s out there are enjoying your special day so far. Since my mom has passed I thought I would do a special layout just to celebrate her today.

I lost my Mom in August of 1998 two years after I had gotten married. I am actually grateful that my mom was there to see me get married and help me plan that special event. The picture in this layout is from my wedding day. This was the last picture that we actually took together as she really did NOT like to have her picture taken and I usually had to take pictures of her with out her knowing it.







I used the papers and embellishments from my March Swirlydoos kit “Butterfly Whispers” to create this layout.

Well, I am off to the store to get all the preparations for tonight’s dinner to celebrate my Mother-in-law, and Sister-in-law for being the great mothers that they are.
