BINGO @ The Bug Blog!!

 BINGO!

So, today, I thought I'd share with you the adorable Valentine's card I did for Livy!

I had a ton of fun making this card!  I just love these little bird Jodie has created - Birthday Birds, Love Birds, Winter Birds.  They all make me smile!  I hope years from now Livy will look back on it and smile too!  :)

Thanks for visitin' today!  Wishing you a wonderful day!

Hugs & Happy Days!

BINGO!!

Even with I think of the word BINGO - I either shout it in my mind, or sing the little BINGO song...there was a farmer had a dog and BINGO was his name-O

Maybe it's because we have Olivia and we sing these songs, or maybe it's some deep rooted childhood thing!  LOL  

Anyway, today is a BINGO day at The Bug Blog and I've had the chance to play along!!

Papers - Doodlebug Design Prints & PTI Cardstock & Kraft Paper from my scrappy bin

This was Livy's Valentine's Day card for her special box.  :)

See if you can say it without shouting it either outloud or in your mind.  LOL

Humor Me Wednesday

At The Bug Blog!

While it's not too humorous, it's a holiday that is fun to share.
Valentine's Day!
In our house it is a special day, because last year on Valentine's Day, we found out that we were having a little girl (we couldn't wait until she was born to find out if she'd be a boy or girl.....we're BIG plan-aheaders).

So, this year, we're celebrating Valentine's Day with our little Valentine.

Here's the Valentine Day card we whipped up for Livy!

Valentine's Day.....

ALL MONTH LONG around our house (or at least at my blog).

We have so many special kiddos that we send Heart Day cards to, I have to give everyone's card a day in the spotlight!

So, for today's Oldie But Goodie at Bugaboo, I had to share this Valentine Jar.  It's not a really OLD - Oldie, but it's got just the right amount of dust on it.  I just LOVE the jars like this that Jodie has created.  I'm hoping for another one for St. Patty's day (if I'm lucky of course)!  =)
