HDH Macabre Monday & The Kraft Journal

Happy Earth Day and Happy Birthday to my baby girl, Cassidy.  She's 17 years old today - isn't she beautiful?  She's just as beautiful inside as she is out:

I love this kid with all my heart, I can't imagine life without her.  She lights up a room, she's goofy and funny and smart and silly and beautiful and caring.  She talks baby talk to her kitty.  She can't touch towels unless she wets her hands first.  She hates to be embarrassed (just like me).  She is shy in a crowd of strangers, but loves to the be the center of attention with her friends (just like me).  She is a mama's girl.  She is tough on the outside, but a softie on the inside.  But she doesn't like to show it.  She would do anything for her friends, but she's smart enough to know that most of her friends wouldn't do the same for her.  In other words, she knows that most of the people she calls "friends" aren't really her friends.  But she's OK with that, too, because she is a kid and likes to have fun and just knows enough not to get taken advantage of.  I'm constantly in awe of her.  I could go on and on, but you get the idea.  She's awesome.  :)  Happy birthday, awesome 17-year-old princess.  I love you.

Since I do all my crafting on weekends, I'm always squeezing in last minute for the:



I made an ATC using a pirate map from Spyder's Corner, and some images I found by googling "pirate coloring pages".  I made my pirate standing in a pool of blood with blood on his sword.  Bwa-ha-ha.  That's a creepy laugh.

OK - moving on - this next card is for:


The items from my stash include the image, which I printed out MONTHS ago and never used, and the Kraft ribbon, which I've had for a good.... 6 years?  ROFL
Have a fabulous Sunday/Earth Day!  :)  Peace.

  8. Happy birthday to your baby girl Jenn! Your card is wonderful! Great distressing and a really cool image. I wonder how big a laugh I would get in a couple of years if I started putting purchase dates on my craft goodies. LOL Glad to see I'm not the only long term hoarder. :-) Thanks so much for sharing this with us at The Kraft Journal!
