Birthdays

July is the month of my birth, and my mother's and my grandmother's and several good friends, so it follows that I've been thinking a lot about birthdays recently and making a few cards.

Birthdays are special to me - they are a time to celebrate your friend or family member or even yourself. I've always made a really big deal out of birthdays - here are some cards I've been working on to celebrate my friends and family.

There is also one to say thanks for the friends who remembered my birthday!

Happy Birthday America!

It's almost that time - time for BBQs and fireworks and the good old red, white and blue!
I love the 4th of July for a lot of reasons - I'm proud to live here, where I can say and do as I please without fear. I love to see the red, white and blue and I love birthday parties. And what could be bigger than a birthday party for the whole country?

This weekend, I'll be thinking about how blessed we all are to be here - even in the midst of turmoil.
I'll watch the fireworks, grill a hot dog and have some watermelon and remember that this country is a wonderful place to live!
Here is my card to celebrate the birth of our great nation.
