Fun & Funky Apron Swap!

I Love Flamingos!

So, I Hosted a

Fun & Funky

Flamingo Apron Swap

on

Swap-bot.

It was kinda Challenging

to Find Flamingo Fabric

& Gifts!

But, that was Part of the Fun:)

My Mom actually ended up

being the Person I sent to!

This Pattern is Very Easy

& I Love the

3 deep Pockets!!

We also had to

include 3

I found the Book & Straws on ebay:)

I might just have enough fabric

to make Myself one:D

My Birthday Poem

This was Written Especially for Me on My Birthday, by My DD!!!

These are the Colors of the Rainbow

And Everyone of them Shows Right through.

I am going to Start with Red

So Here I go,

Red is the color for when I Blush Everytime You say You Love Me,

Orange is the Color for when I need You and You are There for Me,

Yellow is the color for Everytime You do Something

You are Brighter than The World Can See,

Green is the color for Your Personality which I Think can't get Any Better,

Blue is the Color of My Eyes You have Given Me,

And Last, Purple is the color of Your Rain of Beauty and Shimmer.

And that is Why I Love You!

***I can't Express what this Did to My Heart!

To know that I am Truly Loved, Unconditionally

& How Very Blessed I am to Have such an

Amazing Child!!

Ode To A Hot Glue Gun!

I wish that I could hold you tight

The way you hold my stuff

Your warm embrace feels oh so right

Securing all my fluff

I'll bite my tongue and smile
