Birthday card made by my daughter-in-law

I am going to brag on my daughter-in-law…she is so crafty. She done a beautiful job of this…so proud of her.

I LOVE this card…she doesn’t create her own files…yet. She has my old Cricut Personal cutter and doing a marvelous job with her handiwork.

Print and Cut in Fairy Cut

Time to BRAG

This is my 10 1/2 yr old granddaughter receiving her awards at a Special Olympics event in Topeka, Kansas. Quoted from her mother’s status on Facebook:

Alexis got second place in the 50 meter dash and 1 st in the running long jump!

I am so proud of Alexis…she is Autistic and works very, very hard for what she earns.. she will also be receiving the Most Improved Student Award for her school, Custer Hill Elementary School, Fort Riley, Kansas . That medal will be given to her on May 17, 2011.

Sorry, but I am proud Grandma, and brag on her.
