Happy Monday! Remember when I mentioned awhile back that Paper Crafts picked up one of my cards for the Jan/Feb 2009 issue? Well, this is one card I submitted that they didn't pick up, so thought I would go ahead and share it. It was for their "5th Birthday Celebration" call, since they will be 5 years old.
It has lots of contraband, including the yummy Cupcake paper by Basic Grey. I thought it was so cute, bummer they didn't go for it! It's a pocket card, the piece with the "5" pulls out; it's a Sticky Cut letter from SU, covered in SU Chunky Glitter. The "happy birthday" is a rub-on from SU also.
Some personal blah, blah, blah...
Back in Dallas now, it's good to be home. On the way back from the airport, dh took me to get my birthday present, this little iphone! We have to preorder it, though, doesn't seem to be in stock anywhere. Oh well, worth the wait. Then when we got to the house, he had a vase of flowers with my birthday card waiting for me! I'm thinking he really missed me! lol!
I also have to share (finally!) what I alluded to last week, the gift my mom gave me...a new lap quilt! What's really so special about it, though, is that the little print blocks are made up of my outfits that she sewed for me when I was little. It's so cool, I've seen all the photos of me wearing them, now I have this. And here's the kicker: she started it 35 years ago! Who knew she would get a quilting machine and start a successful business and finish it at the age of 60! Here's her new blog I started, with one post so far, but she made a new post (edited and uploaded photos and everything!) that's scheduled to post tomorrow. I'm so proud of her!
Well, guess I better get busy today. I just got finished catching up on 327 google reader entries. Yikes! I freak out when it gets over 100! Still need to unpack and start the laundry, fun stuff, plus work on my Convention swaps. Hope you have a great Monday! Thanks for stopping by!
Have you stamped something today?!

Angie, what a special gift from your mom! How cool!
OK, a little unknown fact blog buddies don't know about me, I'm "soft hearted" ~ a tender touch if you will. (My preacher says we're all soft wired or hard wired and it helps to know what you are. ha!) I teared up a little when I read your comments about your mom and that quilt. It's beautiful, I know you'll love it forever, I bet it makes you feel like a princess!
Enjoy your iphone!

I love your pocket card! What were they thinking when they didn't use this one?
Your quilt is beatiful! How special that your mom made it for you out of clothes you wore as a child. You can see the love sewn through the quilt.
I hope to meet you at convention! Will you be at the SCS dinner?
