Happy Birthday, Baby!

Except she is no longer a baby.   My little baby girl turns 18 today.   They grow up so very fast and childhood is gone in a blink of an eye.  I made this card for her to celebrate today.   Inside, I wrote about how I’ll always see her as my little girl, even though she is now considered a legal adult.   I just thought this little girl on the card was too cute and would express some of those thoughts for me.  She did get some other great gifts too! 🙂

18 years have just flown by, but I’m so proud of my dear daughter.  She’s a good kid with a good heart.   I was very fortunate to be able to homeschool her for her entire grade-school education.   I will cherish all the quality time we have spent together and all the places we’ve been able to visit and all the things we have learned together.  She has now been working on her AA degree here at a local college and will graduate with her AA next year.   Sage is also a great help to me around the house and will one day be able to do a great job running her own home.  Sage is compassionate, somewhat patient, and loyal.   She has a witty sense of humor.  Sage LOVES scary movies, music, and make-up.   Her face and hair are always done, but she balances it with dressing down in blue jeans and t-shirts 95% of the time.  Rarely do we get her to wear a dress.  She wants to move on and study Professional Make-up artistry, so we are looking at some reputable schools for that.   She also wants to finish her BA degree in English. I know the time is coming soon for her to spread her wings and fly, but for today, I’m going to hug my baby girl and enjoy my time with her while she is still home!

For the card, I used papers and embellies from my yummy Scarlet Lime kit, Spellbinders Grand Label 1, stamp sentiment from Papertrey Ink, as well asVintage Duo PTI ink and Memento Ink.
Thanks for stopping by today,
