It’s a Mystery!

One of Max’s favorite things to do when he visits is to grab his Great-Grandmother’s magnifying glass and go searching for clues. “It’s a mystery,” he says. He will look for anything but quite often it is GiGi’s cane which she seems to lose everytime she puts it down.  This little image by Mo Manning reminds me of Max. I colored it up and stuck it to a card. I will send him a little note this week. He loves getting mail!

Had a dusting of snow last night and winter is not going anywhere soon but was still fun to make these happy little cards. Found the inspiration on Jackie’s blog, http://www.jackiescreativepapercrafts.blogspot.com/. These little beauties will make cute birthday cards though I haven’t yet stamped the inside panel.

Used Stampin Up cardstock Chocolate Chip and Really Rust for the pots, scraps of cardstock and DP for the flowers. Also used the Stampin’ Up punches on this one. The scallop border was perfect for the edging on the pot, the one-inch circle and scallop circle perfect for the flowers. Used the small oval to shape out the leaves. Aren’t these darling!

That’s if for this morning. Have to pack up the car with treats for Max and face a two hour drive now to visit with my grandchildren. It seems such a distance yet I know there are so many grandparents whose families live half way across the country. We are blessed.

Don’t have any facebook savvy so I’m introducing my new grandson here. Born this morning at 10:59, a.m., Sam weighed in at 7 pounds, 9 ounces and is 19-1/2 inches long. He is adorable. Poppy and I took Max in to see the new baby. We stopped at the hospital gift shop for a little something for Sam and my suggestion that little babies might prefer soft cuddly toys was given less than zero consideration. Max picked up a white dinkie for Sam, a yellow one for himself. Soft toys indeed! Brothers look out to brothers. And here are my boys - all three!
