Happy Birthday, Mom!!

My dearest husband and friend, in cahoots with my fabulous sister in law, bought me a surprise Cricut Expression AND a Gypsy!!  How cool is that??? Here is my first project, created during my hands-on lessons from my dear SIL.  This card was created in honor of my mother's 83rd birthday and love of flamingos.  Happy birthday, Mom!!

Flower Girls

During July my two granddaughters helped cut flowers for our dinner table. We had a blast arranging the flowers. We picked peonies, irises and roses, among others.  Aren't they beautiful (the flowers AND the girls)?? And their aprons are hand made, one from me (green) and one from a church craft sale. Helping grandma cook and set the table made each meal extra special.
