~ There She Goes August Hop Day 2 ~

August 26th, 2009 by Holly McMillen

Good Morning, Ya’ll!

As we inch closer to There She Goes’ first birthday, I am reminded of my boys’ first birthdays.   With my firstborn, we had a big party for his first birthday.   There was a big cake for everyone and we set him in his high chair and let him loose on a big chunk.   I still have pictures somewhere.   For my second, I think we just had a little family get together, but we still did the big cake.   With number 3 and 4, I believe it was a cupcake and a handshake! LOL   Kids that age don’t remember it anyway, so the parties are for the parents.   I was over it by those last two.

Today we are showing off the new Side by Side set.   This set gave me a fall feel, so I tried to express that in my card.

I imagined these flowers to be the last of the season…. tucked behind a little garden fence with the bucket at the ready.   I used warm blues and a little brown.
