Birthday cards.

 I recently made two birthday cards. One for my son and one for my daughter. I used the same basic design but each one has a different look.

First up is the one for my son. 

I actually made 3 exactly the same. I'll use this card to send to Wade's two sons on their birthdays. Inside there is a tan oval shape the same size as the blue oval. That's where you would write your message. I sealed the one for my son before I took the picture and this one doesn't have that oval inside yet.


Next is the one I made for my daughter.

Same design, different papers and different focal piece on the front. I designed the cat in Cricut Design Space using mostly circles and triangles for the ears. I thought he came out pretty cute.

And here is a look at the inside. Again, there is a circle the same size as the outside circle for writing your message.

Because I think the cat is so cute. Here's a close up of him. The only thing I wasn't happy with was the nose. I cut the circle by hand so far from perfect. I couldn't find anything else to use that looked good. I tried a leftover gem from a diamond art project but it was way too small.

They bloomed.

 My peonies finally started blooming.

Assorted stuff.

 I was relaxing in the cave one day and looked out the window. The iris and all those green leaves made me happy.


At work I was sitting at my desk and saw the shadow on the wall. It transferred the words on the door perfectly in shadow.


I am making an effort to improve my eating habits. I've stopped my daily diet coke, I'm watching things like saturated fat and sodium content. I eat my breakfast at work because if I eat it at home, by the time I get to work I'm starving. Imagine my horror when I microwaved this breakfast bowl and read the box. Not only was the saturated fat very high but the sodium content was through the roof. I won't be buying those any more. 

The one thing that I refuse to give up is my morning cup of coffee with a splash of flavored creamer. I tried to drink it black and it just didn't cut it.

Happy Birthday Amanda

 Another repost. Today is Amanda's birthday. 

Happy birthday Amanda

We may not have always gotten along and we butted heads so many times over the years but I will be forever in awe of the amazing person she is.

She has the brightest smile and a heart of gold.


Growing up she had a abundance of energy.









Happy Birthday to the best daughter a mother could have.
