U Rock!

Pin It

My baby turned 10 yesterday. I can’t believe we are now in the double digits. Time is just flying by!

Since she wants to be a rock star when she grows up (in between the time she spends as a vet, teacher, writer, actress, spy, mom, and CSI tech), I thought this image from Pink Cat Studios would be perfect for her birthday card. Of course I had to add some glitter and bling because that is all part of the rock star style.

I was looking for some pictures of Elizabeth from when she was a baby, but I couldn’t find any to share. I can’t believe we didn’t have a digital camera back then (even though I know it is true). Instead I thought I would share a couple pictures from her fencing tournament last weekend. She won the silver medal! I am such a proud momma!

Action shot! She is the one on the right.

Here she is showing off her silver medal after some really hard matches.

She wears that Hammer hat under her fencing gear to keep her hair out of her face.

Happy Birthday, Baby! I love you and am so proud of you!

Supplies:

  • Stamps: Lily Rock Star (digital stamp) by Pink Cat Studios

Ohhh wow! That's awesome a silver medal!! You go girl!

Her card is adorable and I hope she accomplishes her dreams of the things she wants to be when she grows up.

Yes, time does fly, my baby turned fourteen last month and there are times when it wasn't to long ago I was rocking him and getting up in the middle of the night. Great memories.

I hope your daughter has an awesome fun filled day!
