A Wonderful Son's Birthday

 

Today my oldest son, Kelly is 41.  How can that be?  I'm only 30, hee hee....

Last year at this time I was with him in Hawaii celebrating his 40th.  That was so fun.

This year it is cold but at least sunny.

Merry Monday #150 Gifts

 

Karren challenges to use gifts on our cards this week for the

Merry Monday Challenge

Wow, struggles with this to try to come up with something different but alas it's pretty ordinary. 

I have been using my new MISTI.  What did we ever do without it?  It is so amazing, but I'm still in the first stages of playing with it, so still had some problems.  I thought the issue of getting smudges on it would be over but not true.  I think I had more trouble today.
