I love to craft and love that now that I'm home with Reagan, I have more time for this hobby. I have several talented friends, and we've all decided to contribute our crafts and have a booth at local fairs in TN. Our plan is to craft along the way and then we'll see what we have ready come fair time. Here's what I've been working on the past week.

Poor Reagan came down with a virus and had a sore throat and 103 fever for 5 days. Ben was in South Carolina for work, so we basically stayed cuddled up in bed together the entire time with little sleep.

5 days later...Feeling much better!

Happy birthday to me! I am officially in my late twenties...nearing the hill. Growing up in my family, birthdays were a HUGE deal. We didn't just have birth-DAYS..we had birth-WEEK or sometimes even birth-MONTHS. As I've grown up, become a mom and moved away, my family still does a great job of celebrating with me. My favorites things about birthdays:

Ben makes me waffles or pancakes (and added a side of beautiful flowers this year!)

I get to spend the day with Reagan...okay that's everyday, but I just LOVE her!

My mom is always the first to call me early in the morning and sing me Happy Birthday

My Mimi & Papa usually aren't far behind her and also serenade me to Happy Birthday

My Grandmother usually calls after that...she doesn't sing though :)

My dad always makes up birthday jingles appropriate for whoever's birthday it is. Mine this year went:

Happy Happy Birthday!

Today's a special day!

Happy Happy Birthday!

Even though you're far away! Hey!

I love checking the mail during my birthday week and finding cards in the mail everyday. It is WAY better than getting the daily bills!

Probably cheesy, but I also love hearing my phone ding all day as I get new facebook birthday wishes. 

Top this off with all of the phone calls from my sister, in-laws, sis in-laws and friends, and I had another happy birthday. Here's to, and many more....
