Happy (late)Birthday to my sweet daughter!!! and.. some news..

Hello and welcome back!! I am a day late in posting this as I had blogger issues yesterday!! I was in tears as I was unable to make this post. A very good friend of mine helped me get it figured out today so.. better late than never!!!I also have some news to share at the end of this VERY HEAVY photo post! All for a good reason!!

 

Yesterday was my sweet daughter's 17th birthday!!! Seems time flies faster than we want. One minute they are babies and the next they are driving and looking into collages!! I wont make this mushy as I cried enough yesterday thinking about all of this.. I will say I am lucky to be her mom. She is and has been the best daughter ever!!! I LOVE YOU Candace with all of my heart and soul!!

Now.. only some photos :)

The night before her big day... my hubby and I made a balloon bomb!! When she opened her door.. they fell into her room!! She was tickled about this.



I surprised her with a chocolate cupcake. What a great way to start the day!!

Hubby and I decided to send a special delivery to school. Who should have to go to school on their birthday and NOT get flowers??? NOONE!! She was tickled and just loved them!! ( a BIG thank you to E-Town Florist. They had this made and delivered within TWO hours of my call!!)

Birthday tradition renders the birthday person pick of the restaurant for supper. Candace picked Arbys and we were all lucky to share our table with one of my "other" daughters Haylee. Oh how I have missed her so. Colton is quite fond of her as well and well, these girls are the best sisters any boy could ask for!! I think he is quite happy he has them!!

 

 

So, one thing my daughter looks forward to is her birthday card. As a crafter it is expected that I would MAKE the card. Of course I teased about buying one, but knowing she appreciates them, I'd never buy unless circumstances prevented me from making one. Here is the card I made.

 

I hope my lil princess had a wonderful birthday!! I'm super excited for her future and blessed to be a part of it!!

Now.. onto some news.

 

It has been a while since I posted but I have been SUPER busy. I certainly should have passed the info on as thinking now, I have done a dis service to YOU.... my viewers. Ok.. what's the news?? The news is..... I FINALLY opened a store!! IT is called Paper Flirtations and will primarily be projects I can add flowers to. Some will not have flowers so no need for alarm. I just wanted a place to put my creations and offer to others instead of sitting on shelves!! I WILL have the ornaments available YEAR ROUND and can surely work with anyone about specifics. Let me add before I get too deep.... ALL of my items are handmade by ME!!! ALL of my items are shipped only to the USA. I apologize to my friends over seas. I surely with the postage was not so high!! It saddens me to think a $4 ornament will cost $18 to ship to some places!!! Anyways... Click my store name above to visit my store.

 

Thank you all for hanging around and waiting for me to get my stuff together!! I am excited about the new year and hope you keep in touch!!

 

Big crafty hugs,

Tanya

Happy Birthday To My lil blue eyed cutie!!

Hey y'all... Yepper.. as the title of this post indicates.. we have another BIRTHDAY!!!

This time my lil guy Colton gets to be a whole year older.. Oh what I would give to be 6 again!!

 

We started early this morning ( 8:30am) with a cupcake. The rest of the kids do not wake this early unless school days and no way lil man will wait until they wake to eat. So... this was a lil celebration time for my lil guy and me. :)  He got his own lil cupcake for breakfast and I sang him happy birthday in a soft inside voice.. we don't want to wake anyone up. :)  He was tickled pink and I am so glad we had this lil moment together.

 

He LOVED the messy lill cupcake!! It was super moist and oh sooo chocolaty!!

His request for the cake was a mustache. I found one on Pinterest and decided to take it on!! I think I did a wonderful job along with the help of Candace making the cake and Roger cutting the ying yang.. Isn't it great to have such wonderful people to share in the joy of a finished project? I  <3 family="" my="" nbsp="" p="">

 

Next was blowing out the candles. It took him 3 tries to get them all out!!

I asked Colton what he wanted for his birthday and his answer was  " I'm sure whatever you get me will be fine mom." He is such a blessing to me!! He is a Gummy Bears lover like me so... of course that had to be a part of his gifts. He was overjoyed!! First.. the card :

Now.. onto the FUN part about a birthday!!

The best part of the day?? He said was spending his birthday with his family and playing Lego Playstation game with Trevor. :) ( Trevor is my nephew.. far left in the pic below) !!!  What could be better than that??

So.. Happy Birthday to my lil cutie pie and thank you all for hanging in there to read this post. We are in the middle of a tornado watch so I need to go hide!! I just wanted to get this posted real quick. :) Have a good evening my sweet friends and be safe!!

 

Hugs,

Tanya



Happy Birthday to my prince Charming

Hey y'all.. welcome back to my blog.

Today I am sending Birthday wishes to my wonderful husband, Roger. We married 8 years ago and our love has only gotten stronger. We have stayed a team and had each other's backs. He has been there to wipe my tears and reassure me when I was at my worse. He supports all of my silly ideas and even encourages some of them. :)   Oh my do I love this man!!

 

I could go on and on about how wonderful he is because truly there are a million wonderful things about him, but... I'm excited to finally show you the card I made him. :)  I bought the stamp set a couple years ago and have used it before on a card for him, but his love of Rat Rods brought me to this stamp again. :)
