I can't believe that Janae is 23. Where did the years go? I couldn't be more proud of her. She has turned out exactly as I had hoped she would.
I have been busy working on some birthday gifts for her. I can't afford to buy a lot of expensive gifts...but I can make her pretty things!
After seeing these type of Angel wings on several blogs I came up my own version of them. I am so pleased with them! They took me awhile to make...but now I want to make some for me!
I can think of like 100 places I would like to have these for myself :)
Now I need to make some for me!
I decided that since Janae's birthday is right before halloween decorating time I have decided to "primp a pumpkin" for her every year. Last year I made one that will look good with this years...pretty soon she will have a pumpkin patch!
Now I want one of these too!
My favorite gift I made for her was this dreamcatcher...

This was inspired by Tausha at Simply Me. I have adored her dreamcatchers for a long time and she was sweet enough to let me know where to get the hoop and stuff. If anyone wants a tutorial sometime let me know. It was really fun to make and I am so happy with how it turned out. If you want to buy one I suggest contacting Tausha. Hers are gorgeous!
I want to make a blue one for my bedroom--I want to make a bunch actually--really love it!
Chantel made Janae a bracelet and bought her a ring, also some pretties for her hair. Wyatt got her a shabby chic clock and Gage got her some of those beautiful peony like tulip bulbs. Jerry and I also got her some Simply Shabby Chic British rose pillows for her guest bedroom--they came today, just in time!
Tonight boyfriend Sidney took her out. Tomorrow night her and I will continue the celebration with sushi and a movie!

Great gifts, Sandy! Gosh ~ 23 . . . I had my daughter at 23. I can't even imagine being that age anymore {what with 49 just around the corner!}. You should just make doubles of your gifts! Love the pumpkin and those angel wings are precious. Wouldn't they look great on a Christmas tree?
