Happy Saturday and a Quick Share

Author: April 25, 2009 2 Comments

DSC01546 I sure hope that you are all having a wonderful weekend!  I have been stamping away today.  I usually don't post anything to personal on my blog…BUT I was having a moment and I did mean to share this in December.  My Daughter turned "18" December 3rd and as I was talking to her yesterday I don't know it was just sorta strange.  I just felt so sad inside.  I mean she is turning out to be a "Wonderful" Young Lady..of course I try not to tell her that TOO much. Wouldn't want her head to SWELL! LOL!  I just SOOO remember the day she was DSC01548 born..holding her, feeding her, rocking her…just plain LOVING her and now she is going to be graduating in June! It just makes me realize how precious time is and how FAST it goes.  My son is 4 and will start Kindergarten in September! Ay' Caramba!  Ok, so the photos I am sharing were taken on her Birthday. We went to a nice Dinner that night…my Hubby brought her Flowers and she got some more from school! Love that wave. See what I mean about her head swelling! LOL! She's to funny!

DSC01549DSC01550 OH, and yes I made her take a picture with the card I made her! 

I used the Cupcakes Wheel…sorry you can't see it in the photo.  I'll have to take a better photo of it and post it later! 

Anyway thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampin',
