3-1 What a fantastic day!

Today is an awesome day! I have two fun reasons for being excited! So...wanna hear what they are? Of course you do!


It's my daughter Annabella's Birthday today! That's right! She is turning 10 years old, and I can barely believe how fast my baby has grown! Now, I do a post on my blog nearly every year since she was born - which means my blog is almost 10 years old too! Crazy right?!


It's also New Release day at Bugaboo Stamps! Check out the card I created for Annabella using Hedgie Birthday -  which is a new release today in the Bug Shop! Please do leave me a comment letting me know what you think of my card, as well as a little cheer for my daughter. She loves to read the comments on my blog nearly as much as I do!
