Time Flies...

Next week my DD, {darling daughter-trying to remember to translate for those that don't know the lingo} will be celebrating her birthday. It is the big 13. For those that remember her when she was a baby, you can agree that she has really blossomed...She cried all the time her first year. Cripes, we always lugged around a portable swing...it's the only thing that would soothe her. She is a fabulous girl that continues to amaze me. She is smart as a whip and has a great sense of humor...throw in her artistic talent both musically and "crafty-like" and you have a Mom that is so very proud of her. Can I also tell you that the other day we were walking around in Joann's and she brought to my attention that they had tafetta black & white gingham on clearance...okay, she didn't call it tafetta black & white gingham but said "that black & white ribbon you like is on clearance". Woo Hoo, that's my girl....this is when I should say I had several spools of the stuff already in my basket {LOL}.

She has several birthday festivities scheduled...

I'm a huge fan of celebrating birthday's!
