{Heart Fairies and Birthday Boys}

January 25, 2013

I’ll be celebrating my son Ian’s 27th birthday on January 26th. Doesn’t seem possible that my first born will be that age! Oh how the years pass too quickly…

The Grand-Pup Kane will be 1 years old on the 27th. So a dinner party has been planned in the honor this weekend…Kane loves his new doggie perch that Ian made for him…from here he can spot many squirrels!

We have had a very cold week here in Michigan and snow today…but all the better to get more projects ready for “14 heARTS”…I am starting to get nervous…and hope you find some inspiration each day with the projects. Some are easy peasy – and others a little more time consuming. I just want to have fun in February with all of you and share some love!

These are a few cones and fairies I made over the last several weeks that I wanted to share. Not much new art here…it’s all going into “14 heARTS”!

    Love all your projects Nancy. Happy Birthday to Ian and Kane too.
    My first baby will be 50 in July and that makes me feel OLD!
    But with our first grandchild due in June it seems to feel like a new
    stage in life.
    Have a delightful celebration.
    Hugs, Amy Jo

    Happy Birthday to your son. My “boy” will be 30 on the 30th; I cannot possibly be the mother of a 30-year-old. His birthday bothers me more than my own does.
