Today is my sweet little girls birthday.
She has hit the double digits.... and I am wondering how it got here so fast.
I am actually writing this post late this night and having it ready for tomorrows posting...
and as I sit here I think of my sweet baby girl. The one I prayed so long for. The one I would cherish every moment I felt her kick, her painful but wonderful stretch inside me, how terrified but excited I was to get to go to the hospital to welcome her to the world. The moment I found out I had to have a C-section (UGH!) and the first time I heard her sweet cry. The first time I got to look into her precious little eyes... yes, you know it, I am bawling now. She is halfway to adult hood. She is half the age I was when I got married. Sigh. BUT this is not a sad time, this is a super happy time. It is her 10th birthday and while I will reminisce, I will also celebrate what a wonderful, beautiful, silly, happy, talented little lady she is.
I created this image for my princess. This is simply called Birthday Girl. I kept hte colors fun and funky because she is 10 after all and 10 year olds are not really about the sweet pastels and soft colors ... lol. I am liking these colors better together than when I was making it. I Was thinking... this is going to be one bright and gaudy card!!! hehehehe!! but I do love it all together. They are just happy and bright and do not clash as much as I thought they would. I went all out with tons of pop dots, big bold trim and fun epoxy stickers I have been saving for a few years. She got it all!!!
This digi is NOT available in the shop today.
She is FREE with any purchase until March 31.
Here is a little secret... my birthday is also coming up and I will be having birthday blog candy... so if you want to get an extra chance to win my blog candy starting in April, you will have to have her (or another FBD image) to create with!!!
