Getting ready to party

Well last night we had the big Birthday dinner out at Ally's restaurant of her choice. And of course she picked Texas Roadhouse. YUM. We let each of them pick a place to go and eat for their birthday dinner with the family. We had my parents, (Nana and Papa) and my sister Terri (TT) and her daughter Karen. It was a great night out. We even got the staff to come and sing Happy Birthday to her.

Today was the day to get ready for her party tomorrow with all of her friends. I am just hoping that the weather is just as nice as it was today since we are having her party at a local park. I worked on her cake today. For something so simple it took me 2 1/2 hours to decorate it. She wanted a sports theme this year. She has played soccer since she was 4, so instead of just sticking to one sport, we added all four of them. I had to add the pink trim to it just to girly it up. This is a long way off from playing with My Little Ponies. Now it is all about sports.
Well, I am hoping for fun and wonderful weather tomorrow.
I have made a few cards in the past few weeks, so I will post them later.
Have a great night.

Im Back...

WOW!!! It has been a long time since I was last on here. That is the life of two busy children. My daughter more than my son. I just need to make that commitment to get on here if not every day than every other day.



Today is a special day and a great day to start this off again. Today is Ally's (my daughter) 11 birthday. It is so hard to believe that she is 11. They do grow up so fast. She was my tiny little 5 lb 11 oz  18 inches bundle of joy. Now she has grown into a beautiful young lady. I love watching her grow and experience things for the first time. She was always the shy one but now she is adventuring out into so many different things. She is in her school chorus and has sung a few solos at the concerts, she is in drama and will be performing sometime this spring, she just made the school track team, she is on the Academic Math team as well. She has played soccer for 6 years now. (she gets her sports side from her dad ) plus lets not forget Girl Scouts. She does that with me. I know, I know. I am bragging just a bit. It is also sad to see her grow up. I still want my little toddler running around the house wanting her mommy to hold her. So, today I want to wish my little girl Ally a big Happy Birthday from her mom.

I will post some pictures of some cards that I have recently made and more info on what I have been doing.
