Birthday

#imbringingbirthdaysback- A couple more homemade birthday cards and more…

This card was made by Kathy Winter. Her Facebook page is Create with Kathy. Don’t you love the fun fold on this cute card?

Notice Kathy didn’t write on the card. I often do that when I give cards, so the receiver can “recycle” it and send it on to someone else. I have been writing on my #imbringingbirthdaysback cards. Do you think I should send them blank with a post it note greeting?

This card is from Shannon West who started the #imbringingbirthdaysback. Shannon’s birthday is coming up on May 13. It would be great if we all send her birthday cards! Her address at Stampin’ Up! is below. I know if looks funny with the South and West in the third line, but it is correct.

Shannon is sending out hundreds or thousands of cards. I’m going to send her some stamps to help with at least my card and a handful of others. I feel a lot of pressure. I would love to make her an awesome card.

My Stamping friend, Connie, is in the hospital tonight. She has cancer. Please pray for her for relief of pain and relief of infection. I hope you’re back home soon Connie!

My BSF and Stamping friend, Barb, and I finished the 23 gift bags for BSF (Bible Study Fellowship). Barb headed up this project and did most of the work. I just assisted a little. We had some help filling them with individually packed snacks and gave them to the staff at the two churches where we have BSF. Here’s a picture of the gift bags. I hope it brightened their day and encouraged the staff.

Abby is happy to be done with the AP Chem test and is now getting ready for AP Lit. This should be an easier test.

Keegan was happy to be home tonight after eight weeks of play practice. He did mow the back yard and put out the weekly trash, but still had hours to do what he wanted! He’s busy thinking up a name for a band he wants to start.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Superman and I took Abby on a college visit on Friday. She loved it! She’s thinking about majoring in Biomedical Engineering.

Superman and I went flower shopping in the rain today. It was great because it wasn’t crowded at all. Note to self, most people don’t buy flowers in the rain! Hopefully it will stop raining in the next couple days so we can plant the flowers. Keegan will also need to bale the grass because it’s gotten so long.

We had the spring on our garage door break yesterday. We are now parking outside and walking to our car in the rain. I need to remember to appreciate our attached garage and garage door opener when it’s working.

Tonight we went to Keegan’s musical, James and the Giant Peach. Keegan played the part of an Aunt (yes, think Mrs. Doubtfire) and a Sailor. He was a very handsome sailor! His Aunt costume was a bit disconcerting. I hope that’s the only time I see Keegan in a dress! We were so happy to have two of Keegan’s grandparents, Aunt and Uncle, good friends, Ryan and Abby join Superman and I for the musical.

We have two delightful American Choir boys staying with us for three nights. They are in 7th and 8th grade. They seemed to enjoy hanging out with Ryan and Keegan last night. Tomorrow they will be singing in the same concert as Abby. I’m really looking forward to it.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

My homemade birthday cards

I have been doing the #imbringingbirthdaysback campaign and because of that, I received the most birthday cards I’ve probably ever received.

I received many beautiful cards, but since this blog is first and foremost a stamping blog, I’m going to only share the homemade cards I’ve received so far… I put the name of the sender below each card. If you have a blog or facebook page, please write to me and I’ll add it with your name.
