Happy 11th Birthday

Today is my sweet girl’s birthday!  I can’t believe she is 11 years old today. 

About a week ago she told me, “Mom, I can’t wait to see my special card you’re making.”   I’m so happy she appreciates my cards, but man, oh man, now the pressure is on to make a card she will really like.  I hope she will like this one.

 

 

2012-11-15 Liz bday card WM

 

Since my crafty mojo has been lacking since I was laid off in September, I had to search my Pinterest files for inspiration.  I found some in this gorgeous card from Anna Marie Nelson.

I wanted to share some pictures of my baby with you.    I don’t have any digital photos from the day she was born but here is one from her 1st birthday.

And here is a recent photo.   Both show the same sweet smile.
