Birthday Card Swap

I have found a new fun thing to do with my scrapbooking, SWAPS! For those that don't know what swaps are, it's when you sign up for with a group of people to make things and then swap out what you have made for what the other people have made. I am currently doing swaps on the Cardmaker Magazine forum. I have done a bookmark, some Christmas cards and here is the Birthday card I made for another swap. Let me know what you think.

Jay's Birthday

We celebrated Jay's birthday today, we had the family over as usual and everyone had a good time. He received all money as gifts, which for a teenager is always welcome. I love when the family comes over and we just eat, laugh and have a good time together.

99 and still going...

WOW, 3/16/09 was my Grandmother-in-love's (she is much more than a grandmother-in-law) 99th birthday! She is about 4'8" and has dementia which makes my Parents-in-love's (they are much more than parents-in-law) life quite interesting. She can't remember things that happened 5 minutes before, but she can give us details of the time she work at a cafeteria 40+ years ago. I love to listen to her stories, when she is feeling good, and she seems to enjoy having the family around her. She can barely get around, she says the movement makes her short of breath. She is still pretty fiesty at times and makes us laugh with some of the things she says. I wish her happiness and pain-free days for however long God allows her to be with us. Happy Birthday Grandma!
