For my Husband
I’m not sure how the time flew by so fast but our 20th (!!) wedding anniversary was on May 26th. Jim often travels for work right around the time of our anniversary so we’ve been all over the place … Continue reading
Fall already?

Christmas in July

Under the Sea
My 6 year old niece loves mermaids, fairies and princesses so of course she was excited with this birthday card featuring the Anya Mermaid from The Greeting Farm. The background paper (appropriately called “the wave”) is by Deja Views and … Continue reading
Everybody’s Doin’ It!
