Birthday Celebration!

Okay, okay... so it's been a few days! I'm sorry! But we've had big things going on here in the Force household... our baby turned ONE today! We had a wonderful time celebrating with our closest friends and family.

I am also sorry that I don't have a card to share with you today. Between planning his party and planning my big family reunion that will take place next weekend, I have not touched my stamp room... believe me, it hurts me more than it hurts you! But I would like to share a couple photos of something that was INSPIRED by one of my cards... does that count??!

This was his birthday cake, made by my dear friend, Michelle Bronnenberg. She made it to match the invitation, which I posted here.

And here is the small cake she made JUST for Maddox! Look, it even has his name on the bumper!!!

And to prove that I was really there (as if I'd be anyplace else), here's a picture of Maddox sharing his new-found treasure with me...

We had a fabulous time celebrating Maddox's big day. I can't believe he's already one... what joy he has brought to our lives.

I'd apologize one more time for not having anything new to show you today, but the truth is I try to keep my priorities in order and my family will always come before my craft. I know all of you out there won't fault me for that.

Now... back to work before I leave you again next weekend! (and I PROMISE that should be the last trip out of town until Thanksgiving!) Thanks for hanging in there with me!
