It’s like the best family reunion–one that you definitely don’t want to miss out on! I look forward to attending it each year.
Today’s card is one I am so excited to share with you because it’s so awesome! This card was made by my sister-in-law, Barb Baldwin. She has amazing talent for creating interactive cards. It helps that she is a pro at designing and creating on her Cricut machine!
This past Saturday my daughter had the opportunity to attend a Red Carpet Event with her Girl Scout troop along with 17 other troops.

Today it’s rainy and pretty dreary where I live. But I actually like it. It’s a change in weather, something I feel like there isn’t enough of in California (it’s important to note that I grew up in the Midwest so I am accustomed to some pretty dramatic weather changes!) I felt like this card … Read more Welcome Spring Card
