Birthday Party Invitations

 
Fall is my favorite time of year, so planning a “fall themed” birthday party for Kate has been lots of fun. Her birthday is still weeks away (daddy will be home in time too:)) but we finished her “happy birfday party cards” this evening. We started working on them with Nana in Ohio. She had [...]

What I’ve been Up to…

I’ve been playing with stained glass the last few days, and it has been so much fun. My friend Kim taught me and a few other ladies how to make the beautiful stepping stones we saw in her front yard. So, when I went back yesterday to take mine out of the mold and complete [...]
