1st Birthday, 1st Great Nephew

 
So it has been WAY to long since I updated here! 
So I will try to do a little catch up for you all.
A year ago my "Great" nephew turned 1!  This is the card I made for him!
1st birthdays are always so much fun, with the little ones learning and discovering so much so fast! And the smash cake at this party was a big hit! 
 

What a fun day!
Thanks for stopping by!

Anniversary Never Ending Card

Okay, so I was recently commissioned for the first time to make a card for someone.  My sweet sister asked me to make a special 10th Wedding Anniversary card for her to give to her hubby.  It had to be something super special.  So I made him an "never ending card".  This was something very new to me, as I have never made one before, but I have always wanted to.  So this was my opportunity!  The basic card is very simple to make and is fun because it is very interactive and has several sides to decorate and look at. She was specific with wanting a little jar image filled with hearts is all she really wanted, and then the saying, "Happy 10th Anniversary my dear man."  The rest was up to me.  Oh and I was not allowed to any flowers either.  LOL  So this is what I came up with.  I added a little bit of metallic paper to make it more masculine and yet have a little extra sparkle too.  I think he liked it a lot.  I know I sure did, and it sure was fun to flip the many sides around too.

My Son's Graduation 2017

It is so crazy hard to believe that he has reached this point and has now officially graduated!  What happened to my baby boy?  This one was super hard to do, because he is my only son and the only boy in my life besides my dad and my hubby.  I had no brothers when I was growing up, so having him in my life brings the tomboy in me, out!  I love his ornery fun streak and yet his sweet gently side too.  He has grown up soooo much and changed so much too.  He is so stinkin smart and ingenious too.  Very creative and willing to learn new things that he can do with his hands.  He is a hard worker too. I pray that God will continue to bless him in everything he does and I pray that he continues to grow closer to Him, also.  Anyways, we truly have been busy, with all the planning and preparing that came with his graduation and open house. You see, he has been homeschooled all of his life, and boy what a blessing that is.  But what you don't know is that with the group of people that we partner with in many activities, they also help and plan a formal graduation ceremony for us as parents to present a speech/charge to our son and then give him, his diploma.  It is pretty awesome and very emotional for all of us parents.  What a special time! 







 





 This first box had ring pops in it for his open house, and that was a huge hit!  Not one was left by the time his party was over!  And I failed to get pictures of it all before his open house was over. 
 And as you can see this box was filled with Smarties.  Everyone enjoyed the decorations and food.  It was a great day to honor him.
Anyways, thank you all for looking around at what has been keeping me so extremely busy this past year. I hope you have a fantastic day!
