Lynne will be going through her stash and sending one lucky winner a surprise package to someone that remarks and gives bloggie love on each of the participants.

I'm having some health issues at this time and pulled myself out of a lot of my hops and projects but I just couldn't let Lily's 2nd birthday go by without any recognition!!!!

Lily is my beautiful granddaughter who just turned 2 and is the light of my life!!!!! I made for her a shaped card using an old file from Treasure Box Designs, What a Doll by welding the shapes together, doing a mirror image, and then added the features on the top!!!! Lily wanted to help Gramma help create and get out her crayons to color but my daughter, Jen, told her "no".




Your next stop along the way is the fabulous Amanda. Thanks for stopping by and mark your calendar again next month to see what Holidays to Celebrate on April 13, 2013, for the next Calendar Girls Blog Hop!

Much love, hugs, and friendship
Lynne
