Happy 2nd Birthday Little One!

(Singing Happy Birthday to E)

E turned 2 today! Michael had to go to some political thing, so we spent the morning in town and got balloons for him and did some shopping at Kohls! I love that store! I got a cute new dress (red) for Christmas, and some cute trouser jeans, ties for the boys and one to match for hubby. It was a great morning. When we got home we set up for E's family birthday party. My SIL Laura came over with her hubby and cute kids.

Laura and I went shopping for stuff for taco salad and went to a holiday boutique and then we all just hung out at my house. We even managed to get in a game of "Settlers of Catan" in before they left which was fun as we had not even opened our game boxes since we moved here two years+ ago. Sadly I was not the winner though. I am so glad they came! It made it so much more like a birthday than just a special day where we ate brownies (yup, little man doesn't like cake so much). Thanks for making the drive you guys! You're awesome and I am glad you moved closer!!!

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).
