new home

my son and dil are moving into their very own house on Monday, i think this is so exciting, especially since the next event in the cycle of life is to start a family, i am soooooo in a hurry to become a bobbie or a granny whichever you prefer to be called, so this is just one of the stepping stones, he he.


well since they're moving in on Monday and i am a card maker how could i not make them a card?

i have used Welcome to a lovely home, cool Edwin and Tilda sending love letter.  The dp is some that my BFF from Texas Barb Hardeman thanks sunshine, sent me.
have used a doohickey for the border and a tag doohickey, love that this turned out so pretty, hope that my dil likes it too.
the inside is simple and the sentiment computer generated.

  23. Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Ie.

    I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I'd
    post to let you know. The design and style look
    great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon.
    Cheers

  24. After I originally left a comment I seem to have clicked
    on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on each time a comment is added I get
    four emails with the exact same comment. Is there an easy method you can
    remove me from that service? Thank you!

  26. Can I just say what a comfort to discover someone who truly knows what they're talking about on the web. You actually know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More and more people have to read this and understand this side of your story. I was surprised that you're not more popular since you
    definitely possess the gift.

  27. Hello! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this
    site? I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had problems
    with hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
