The big "65"

That's how old my dad turns today! WOW!
I can't believe that I have a parent that is classified as "elderly". Just seems so strange! (My mom is much younger than my dad)
And for being a Type II diabetic he's doing pretty good! Happy Birthday Dad! :)
I made this card using an old sketch challenge from Poetic Artistry. Julee has the best sketches! Always guaranteed to get my brain working again, even though lately it doesn't want anything to do with stamping/card making.
I may need to print all the sketches and get to work to get me back in the mood. Sounds fun! :)

Babies Galore

That's what it's been like at work this summer.

Not because I work in L&D, but because lots of my young, female co-workers

have given birth recently.

And in trying to catch up with them all, I spent about an hour in the baby section

at Burlington Coat Factory picking out sweet baby clothes for the new little ones.

And because I much prefer gifts in gift bags, I bought some plain ones at Target

(12 of them for $5.99!) and decorated them tonight.

Obviously the first and last one are for baby girls, and the lone baby boy in the middle :)

We just had another baby girl arrive last week, and the winter will bring at least 3 more kiddos!

Saving money towards school and vacations is becoming harder and harder! lol

Wedding Cards

One of my friends is getting married this Sunday. After months of helping her make invitations and get them ready to send, picking out the dress, the Bridal Shower, etc the day has finally come! She just so happens to be the sister of my best friend, so while making myself a card to give to her, I made one for my BFF to give her also. She picked the one above, so I'll be giving the Bride and Groom the one below.
I used scraps of the papers left over from making her invites :) And I bought the ribbon and stamps today at a stamp store. They didnt have much of a wedding selection.
