20 candles and this blog thing!

Thanks dear readers for wondering about me!  I've been traveling and playing and celebrating these past few weeks.  I am back home now and pondering how to catch up...don't really think it possible...I'll just start where I am!  I had such a delightful visit with Amy, cherished my visit with my dear friend (and helped her fill her new scrapbox), and welcomed DS into his third decade. That last one had me reminiscing when I turned 20...oh, I didn't want to leave my teenage years...and be launched on my own...I've spent alot of time in old pictures and thinking on the differences of my 20 and Sam's 20.

Today's challenge over at SC was a small purse which I made into a box to put memories of Sam's birthday's past.  I used a black suede cord to draw it together. 20 candles on the butler's tray (Judikins) and a bold Happy Birthday.  I've always been a later giver...my family covers me with grace...my heart is there, but more times than not, always late.  So DS, I'll get this in the mail...soon...maybe!  Love you!

enjoy the direction

It's my DH's birthday today...he's getting to the age where the added years are just not as exciting as when we began!  Those milestones are adding up and while the mind still frolics, the body is a whole 'nother story!  How does that happen?  So I thought I'd take a light-hearted approach and remind him not matter what road he's traveling...it always better to enjoy the journey!

This Artistic Outpost 'adventure' plate was the perfect choice.  I wanna always be as free as a dog with it's head out the window, feeling a breeze on my face!  I love you, my generous, kind, long-suffering husband!  You're still the one no matter how old you "B"!
