Friday Fill-ins

Yes--I know it's Saturday, but I wrote these yesterday!

1. Family relationships are so weird sometimes.

2. “Life is full of ups and downs. The trick is to enjoy the ups and have courage during the downs.”

3. Trust your instincts.

4. Things usually work out for the best. Trite, but true in my experience.

5. Parents worry about their kids even when the kids become grownups.

6. It’s hard to take back what was said.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to a cocktail (do I say that every Friday?), tomorrow my plans include the Hawks’ game and Sunday, I want to Skype with Claire in Australia!

Girly Cards

Seems like there have been a lot of birthdays in the last couple of weeks. I made these cards using the January Stamp of the Month from Close to My Heart. Most of them also use a new paper pack called Wings -- except for Erica's which is basic black & white.

For Amy and Ellen

 Happy Birthday, Ladies!
