And April is here

First  of all, I am sorry this post is late, seems  I  did  not  upload  a particular  card,  tho I thought I  did~  so I had to wait  to see if I could  snatch it back long enough to scan it in...lol 
                                                      Only  in  my  life  Right ???   : ) 

So  ,   Hello, how is April starting off for  you??  Did  you say goodbye  to March on a good note??
I sure did ! My middle  grand daughter  turned 15  on the  29th, we  had a  lunch  gathering  for  her  and  then some shopping to spend  some of  her  "gifts "  Yes she was  thrilled...  It seems  make  up  was important this year...   said with a smile,  She is  a beautiful girl, inside and out, and I hope some day she realizes  that the make  up is not  the reason ~  but  I love that she knows what she wants, and  goes after it .
                                                She is truly a special  young lady .

My card  today  is  her  birthday card,  I was stumped  not only with her gift  but a card to  suit her  or  her day... However  her cousin was  taking her to the movies  later that day...and they both were so excited...  So I  just  dug in to some  birthday  dp and  embellishments...And   used some of her  likeable colors ...  The inside I  created  a  movie  ticket  to be a  pocket  for cash ~  just to be sure  the  two  young  ladies  had  enough  money  for the evening ~
 As we all know,  some times  they  forget that part...lol  or  simply look past  it  perhaps...lol 
                                                           
                                                            Either way  here it is 

                                       
                                                                         and the inside 

  Ah  but the best  part,  when  her  dad  asked  who that  card  was  from,  her answer was                                                "Grandma Soni,  her cards are  better than Hallmark"  
Yes, she knows  how to  make  me  feel loved  ...   I am so  blessed  with  my grand  kids...  

ok , that is it for today...  Now I am  off to enjoy  my  youngest grand son for  just a few minutes...  he is getting off the  bus  here today...  I  made  fresh  warm  yummy sugar  cookies  ,
 because according to him
                                                   "that is what  grammas  do "  

 So  on with April,  I  have  things  spinning  in my head  ~  Lets see if I can  get  them on  paper
 Enjoy  your  day,  Hope  you remembered  to smile,  and  share  that  smile along the way  

                           Waving  good  bye  from  the front  porch  ~ til next time    ~
                                                    Thanks so  much  for stopping by

    1. Thanks Sharon, that is my hope... I was considering starting a new blog, for family pics and stories, so I did not incorporate them in here... what do you think?
