Happy Birthday to the Best Man I Know

Today is my husband's birthday! He is truly the best man that I know. We all love him so much! We celebrated his birthday yesterday with a special dinner and a card. E came up with her own idea of a gift for him. It was a golf club cover and she knitted it herself! She is so talented and thoughtful. We are so blessed by each of our little ones. Tomorrow I plan to upload pix of our birthday dinnertime.

26 Hours of Glorious Scrapbooking!

Some of my adoption buddies and I enjoyed 26 hours of scrapping at the recent Crop Connection Event! It was a scrapbooker's dream come true. The sweet ladies who put it on do an awesome job. Actually they just spoil us. We did scrapbook a good bit, but we also enjoyed visiting with each other. Our table won for table design. We were the Red Thread Scrappers. It was so very much fun!
