A little break

I took an unintended break from the computer this past week. My family came on Saturday to celebrate all our family birthdays for this year. Some of them I hadn't seen since Christmas. So after seeing Sammi on Wednesday I had grocery shopping, cleaning and cooking to get ready. All that activity wore me out so there were a few naps involved in my daytime routine too. It was wonderful to see everyone and we were passing cards around for everyone.

This is the card I made for my son and daughter in law as the new grandparents. I didn't get a very good picture and the card is gone so I can't retake it.

Be safe, cases are going up again.




Be kind to one another.

Adorable baby card. I think a family break was not only needed, but worth it! Wishing you many more happy times and get togethers.

What a great idea to send the new grandparents a card and it's just as sweet as it can be! The photo is perfectly fine, Brenda. I have those little shoes, too, and always turn to that stamp (or a pram stamp) when making a baby card. I don't know, do babies even wear little baby shoes anymore, or just socks and booties? Oh, sorry, I'm letting my age show again! Miss you! Hugs, Darnell
