Crafty Tuesday

Well, I haven’t gotten my 2 hours of scrappin’ in this week, and truthfully, it looks highly unlikely that it is going to happen. I did however make three or four homemade cards for all the birthdays we have this week. And I finished a project for my sister’s mother-in-law’s daughter-in-law to be. (Ya get all that?) We put together some really cute stationery to give her for her bridal shower. So that was a fun project, unlike most of my current work ones. Blech.

But, most of last week was spent frantically trying to put together the annual Em & Ad calendar.  I believe they have all been delivered, so I think I’ll share that today for Crafty Tuesday. Here is the “top half” of the calendar. Someday I’d like to have enough time that I can personalize the tops for each family and put in specific photos for each calendar. But as it is now, everyone gets the same.

What kind of craftiness do you have going on this week?

To Papa ~

I am not quite sure why, but it is so incredibly satisfying and sweet to see your parents playing with – and really enjoying – your children. Maybe it is that whole “full circle of life” thing or something, but it really makes me so happy to see how excited my parents get when the girls visit.

(Yeah, I’ve so been replaced. I could ship the girls back to Michigan without J. or I, and I don’t think anyone would even notice! But you know, I’m ok with that, too.)

As a father, my dad is great.  But he is an even better “Papa.”

All of his girls adore him.

And today we are sending him lots of birthday love. And good wishes for a great year.

Happy Birthday, Papa! We love you!
