Getting Better/ Happy 30th Birthday to Me


Me, E and J with my "birthday cake"

I am slowly starting to feel better. A little better each day. I still have aches and pains here and there, but I am starting to feel human again. I am a lot more emotional lately, but I think that is probably relative to the hormones from the pregnancy, and then the trauma of being in the hospital. Hospitals are definitely a depressing place. I am so glad to be at home with my cute little family.

Anyway, my sweet hubby, realizing that I could not have cake for my birthday since I am on a low fat diet, got me fat free frozen yogurt and fat free strawberry topping. He even got candles and they were the relighting kind which was too funny because I kept blowing them out over and over again. It really made me laugh. That is one of the things I love about M -- he can always make me laugh. He stuck the candles in the frozen yogurt container. Even though I look really bad in these pictures because I had been in bed and napping trying to get better, I think it is worth posting because it was such a fun memory. My cute hubby got me awesome birthday presents too -- he managed to find a Wii Fit for me and a clip it up mini (which I wanted so bad - Thank you baby!!!) All in all, it was not so bad to turn 30, even though I feel so old!!!

I am so glad you are feeling better. I was worried about you! And you do not look 30! You look twelve with no makeup on and that is really something to be proud of!

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).
