Hi Everyone!!
Well, on this day, 12 years ago at 8:01 p.m., the most special little boy (at least to me) was born. I had been married for 14 years and tried for years to have a child. He was special that day and he is even more special today!!
From the day he was born, I sang to him when he was going to sleep. The song I sang over and over was "You Are My Sunshine!" I would rock him to sleep (yes, I admit, I did it) and I'd sing. We both loved it!! Now whenever Jacob doesn't feel good, is sick, or nervous about something, he'll say - Mommy, sing to me!! I remember one time, I took him to the doctor and they were going to test him for strep throat and the flu (which he had). He told me on the way to the lab that he needed to go to the bathroom. His doctor showed me where it was. Well, when we get in the bathroom, he turns around and says - "I don't need to go to the bathroom, Mommy, just sing to me!" We stood in the bathroom while I sang through the whole "You Are My Sunshine" song! After that, he went out into the lab and had both tests done without crying!! Just last week, he had a stomach virus and he asked me to lay down with him and sing to him. I did and he fell asleep while I was singing. Even at 11, I can still sing him to sleep! I just LOVE that boy!!!!!
So, TODAY IS JACOB'S BIRTHDAY!!!! He is 12 years old today going on 18!! I thought this card that I made for him was very appropriate for him!! He is our sunshine and we could not imagine our lives without him!!
I made this card using Wild Card 2 cut at 4". This cartridge makes the card and the envelope for you!! GOTTA LOVE IT!!! I hope Jacob loves it as much as I do!!
Thank you for stopping by today!! We appreciate your visits and your comments!! Until another day, God Bless You!!
Hi Everyone! You know I helped my friend, Sherry, give a baby shower for her niece! Well, today is Sherry's birthday! Since the shower was Owl themed, I thought I would make her an owl themed birthday card! Hopefully, she's not too tired of seeing owls yet!
This card was VERY simple to make! I used the Wild Card 2 cartridge. All I had to do was change paper on the mat to the color that I wanted and press the cut button. All layers were cut at 4.5" This cartridge even cuts the envelope for you - easssssyyyy!!!
I think she'll like the card. Thank you so much for stopping by today - Mom and I so appreciate your visits and your comments! Until another day, God Bless You!! Donna
Hi Everyone - I needed a quick Thank You card for my boss. She went on a business trip and brought me a Vera Bradley gift back. I loves me some Vera and she knows it!! I have the BESTEST boss in the world - can't say that enough!
I used the Wild Card 2 cartridge again! This cartridge is worth the money as it makes cards within minutes just with the push of the cut button. All layers were again cut at 4.5".
Thanks for stopping by today - we appreciate your visits and comments. My brother, his wife, son, and daughter in law came to Mom's for Thanksgiving. No one makes dressing as good as my mom - it's the BEST!!! It was so good to see my family and eat some of mom's good cookin'!! Until another day, God Bless You!! Donna
HAPPY TUESDAY, Everyone!
My friend, Michele, is expecting another grandchild. She's so excited because this one is going to be a girl. Michele's son and wife are going to name the little girl, Claire!
I wanted to make a card but I didn't have a lot of time. Well, if you don't have Wild Card 2, you might want to buy it because I made this little card in less than an hour - envelope and all. I simply cut all the layers at 4.5" and glued them all together.
Now, I must admit that I don't think this baby is the cutest in the world, but it was easy!! The only thing that the baby was missing was a hairbow for it's hair so I just cut one out of a piece of purple paper.
Like I said - Wild Card 2 has a lot of cute cards that are easy to make in a hurry! Thanks for stopping by and we hope you'll come back tomorrow!! Thanks for your comments - until another day, God Bless You!! Donna
