Babies Are For Cuddling

Why do we just want to cuddle Babies?

Everyone has their own special reason as to why they want to cuddle babies, and for me it’s because it been over 6 years since I cuddled the last baby.

Last Sunday I was invited to a Baby Shower to welcome Brody, a dear friend’s 4th grand-baby. How special these little ones are. You sit and hold them, and they snuggle in and all of your motherly and nurturing senses come to the fore front.

So trusting and so innocent and we all have the opportunity to shape their lives. What a responsibility!

So, I was able to ink up a baby stamp, which I discovered I didn’t have many of. Like 1. What happened there.

Most likely, because there are not many babies in my life anymore.

Henry Says Birthday

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and didn’t eat too much turkey and those very important sweets. Of course, I do hope that everyone was able to spend some time over the holidays with their loved ones.

We have a Boxing Day birthday in the family. Kian is 1! What better way to celebrate a 1 year old’s birthday than with Henry the Elephant.

I just love this little guy. He will be available for purchase when the new Spring 2013 catalogue goes live on January 3rd. Can you believe that we are only a few days away from a new year? Where did the last one go?

Since I retired a year and half ago, the time has just sped up….or at least it seems like it did.

Stamps: Henry Says (c – 128093, w – 128090, 2013 2013 Spring Catalogue)

Paper: Naturals White, Marina Mist, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Real Red, Print Poetry DSP, Howlstooth and Scaringbone DSP,

Ink: Black Stazon, Marina Mist, Real Red

Accessories: Big Shot, Garden Green, Midnight Muse, Daffodil Delight Markers, Brights Brad, Googlie Eye

Henry’s birthday hat sports a Daffodil Delight Brad and of course the Googly Eye is the perfect touch. Henry is stamped on the Howlstooth and Scaringbone DSP and then cut out and attached to the Whisper White card stock. The banners were placed perfectly on his trunk with the help of the Stamp-a-ma-jig.

Is your paper crafting wish list bigger than your bank account?
