Happy Birthday Dear Daughter

Angel Mosaic Cake For My Daughter

Today is my daughter's birthday
She turns 24.
How did that happen???


Just yesterday...
I was eagerly awaiting her birth,
watching her learn to walk,
hearing her learn to talk
taking her to preschool, grade school, middle school, high school and college.

OHHHHH I could just go on and on .

Handmade Book and Cake-Happy Birthday Dear Daughter


I wish I could wrap up all those memories and all her dreams together.

Handmade Fabric Birthday Book

Well I did the best I could,
I made a fabric memory book for her.

It is a collection of fabrics, mementos and my digital art.

What a lucky young woman to have a mom with such creative abilities to express her love...that memory book dear Kelly is stunning; I am making one out of tattered paper and vintage ephemera. I so love a book with worn pages that tells a specific story, but this one is outstanding, because it comes from YOUR HANDS. Bon anniversaire to your daughter! Anita

I wish her a Very Happy Birthday too. The book is so lovely. She is so lucky to have such a loving and caring Mother like you.

I posted on my blog about the giveaway you had on choosing Starshines name.

A Happy Birthday to Kaitlin. The book is so sweet touching and something she is sure to treasure always not just for its beauty but the amount of love and thought that shows in every page.

I cannot imagine where to start with such a project nor how long it must of taken.

Dearest Kelly, THANK YOU for your kind words on my blog! School is out, I am ready for a replenishing summer and also, I will be preparing to teach a new subject next year due to budget cuts. However, in the coziness of my own home, I will tackle the new curriculum!

ENJOY THE FARM!!! Anita
