Oh thank heavens it's Friday!

Hi everyone! I wanted to show you a card I made for Nala, but first a little story. Nala's 11yo brother casually announced to his friends that it was her bday. Three of his classmates put together a card (basically a notebook paper colored with highlighter pens) and $5 for Jay to give to her. I just had to share a part of it:


It says (verbatim):
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Your the birthday girl
and I care about you
Did I mention that all 3 friends of his were boys?!?! I know they meant it as a sweet gesture, but omword, DH's reaction was so funny. I saw him turn pale when he read it. ;)
Here is our now 8yo Nala as she was leaving for school yesterday morning:
We focus on "It's what's inside and how you treat others that counts" in our household, but now I realize why DH is going bald. LOL! Okay, so on to my card that I made for her:
The sentiment on the inside reads Happy Birthday wishes, as this girl seems to be having a dreamy thought while looking out her window. I'm not going to reveal any more details because I would love to hear your comments first! -->The final letter of the week (and word) is "W." <-- You can email me at jonjinko@hotmail.com with the entire word in the subject line. (If you are just now joining in on the fun, scroll down for the other 4 letters that was posted every day this week.) Okay, now go and have yourself a perfect Friday! *Love and Aloha*

That picture of Nala is gorgeous! That's one to blow-up and frame. I can see why Brown is balding and Jay is loading up his arsenal. Haha!

A mama robin built a nest in our bathroom window! Outside of course. :) She has 4 babies in there now. We check on them every day. It's really fun to watch them. Your card is super cute! It definately makes me think of the robin. :)

What a sweet card and sweet DD, too! We have an 8 yo daughter with several friends who just happen to be boys, so her daddy can relate to your DH -- they turn into such wonderful protective pappa bears, don't they?? A very happy belated birthday to Nala!
