    Barb,the vintage valentine pins are so lovely! Since there is an S on it and my last name starts with S...OH, and my business name starts with S...it only stands to reason, that it should be mine! LOL I would wear it every day!

    Happy birthday to the luckiest little boy who is one year old today and celebrates with his wonderful creative Grandma!

    These are so adorable (the pins and you know I adore the children). I can't believe little Maxx is one either. Look at that red hair! They are so beautiful and I'm so glad they are all together!

    Happy B-day to your little guy! (my little guys b-day is Sunday, and he just graduated from college!) I had to come and say hi after I saw the packer t shirt! I grew up in Cedar Grove Wisconsin, don't know if that is anywhere near you or not, but on the slim chance it is - greetings from an old Wisconsinite! I am now a Michigander, but still have family in my little Dutch town. And you also make lovely pins, very nice work!
