jar of quotes & memories...

For my sister in laws special day, I made a little gift that she could take home & enjoy!  I purchased a glass jar, made a collage of words on wordle.net, tucked the collage inside of the jar, and had a basket full of colorful papers for family & friends to write Michele little notes on.  We wrote some special words to her, hoping that she'll read them often and know just how much she means to us.  Here's a peek at the jar...

Then, we also gave Michele this beautiful (if I do say so myself) necklace from Lisa Leonard Designs.  Michele loves photography & takes amazing photos, so we thought this necklace was a perfect fit. 
 Happy birthday, Michele!  This post is dedicated to you!!  xo Sarah

to top it all off...

My creative chef husband (who does all the cooking) also decided to let me off the hook with our son's birthday cake (I love him so)...anyway, he baked a Bundt cake, filled the hole in the middle with orange sherbert, and kept the cake in the freezer until just before guests arrived.  When it was time for dessert, the cake came out, it was frosted with Cool Whip, and Imaginext space creatures were set on top.  It was delicious!  Happy Birthday!  Can't wait to decorate for his friend get~together next week.  Our home will become outerspace!

a special day!

My baby came the day after Valentine's Day - planned delivery - my Valentine baby!  He shares his birthday with his Godmother, too.  Here's to a special day for my little man, full of promise, sunshine, friendships, laughter, and a little bit of rain to learn from!
