big milestone


Yes! Today is my blogoversary, 1 fantastic year!! I think we need some blog candy, so come back later today to sneak a peek at some goodies to grab!

It's also my mom's birthday today and here is the card I made her using Julee's Mojo Monday sketch. Isn't this sketch fun?! It's been cold and snowy here the past couple of days, so I wanted something fun and flowery and springy (is that a word??) to brighten up her day.

Be sure to come back later for some fun freebies!

Happy Blogoversary! Your card is simply beautiful...so spring-like. I could use some springiness after shoveling out the additional 4 inches of snow we had here today. Our banks our so high we can't shovel snow over them anymore! Keep thinking spring.
