Sweet baby Drew has turned one year old. What a special day to celebrate!! Oh what to give this special boy on his special day. I decided to create an alphabet book with-- what else but-- my new cricut. I have to say I had such fun with this project. I asked Drew's mommy for pictures of all the special people in Drew's life and then I added a few photos of my own. I mixed the photos with cute die cuts from my circut. I thought I would share a few of my favorite pages with you.
Happy Birthday precious little boy. You truly are a blessing.
Hi Mimi! Thanks for coming by for a visit. What a wonderful gift! It is so cute and inspiring, it makes me want to make one for the little people in my life. :-) Hope you have a wonderful fall season.
Oh Mimi! That's it, you have won me over, a Cricut on my wish list as soon as possible! The characters are all so cute on this alphabet banner. Thank you so much for sending me the cute little owl! I love him! (Must get that cartridge!) You panels are just lovely. You and Joyce are my tag heroes! Your work is so meticulous making your art extra special. I am so honored you participated with us and hope we can swap again! I will be mailing individually to each of you as I have included something extra! Have a lovely weekend ahead! Elizabeth
Wow-you're posting too quickly! I must catch up. This book for Drew is a masterpiece and a treasure for all times. I'm sure his Mommy & Daddy were thrilled to receive it and they can pass it on to Drew when he is old enough to understand the love and care that went into it. You really should be working for the Cricut people!! xoxo Joyce
About Dandelion Wishes--Why a Dandelion you ask???
As I was contemplating starting my blog and opening my etsy shop, many thoughts swam in my head. What would I write about, what would I sell and what in the world would I call my blog and shop? Oh I had a list of names--which one should I choose? I finally decided on Dandelion Wishes. Why that name you ask? Why a dandelion--they are such a nuisance poking their little yellow heads right out into the beautiful green grass. Then there are those little white seed parachutes floating over my lawn just looking for a place to land and grow more little yellow heads in my beautiful grass. If I would have stopped at that thought I never would have choosen the dandelion to represent my blog. Who want's to be known as a nuisance?? Not me. As I stopped and really looked at the little yellow flower, I discovered that it is really quite beautiful. With it's many petals and it's happy yellow color I found it to be really very cheery. And then the thought struck me. There are many things that come into our lives that at first we consider a nuisance. But if we really stop to think about them, often they can become a thing of beauty--teaching lessons and helping us to grow and mature in our lives. I couldn't think of a better name for my blog and shop. It helps to remind me to stop and see the beauty in all situations, to ask myself what lesson I am to be learning, and how does this situation help me to grow into a better person. I wish that for all of you my friends as well. Thank you for visiting Dandelion Wishes. I hope you enjoy your stay.
