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?

Those are beautiful gifts. Janae is lucky to have such a loving mom and I'm sure she is an equally loving daughter. Have a great time on your mother daughter date.
Those are beautiful beautiful gifts! Oh my gosh the angel wings are precious... and the dream catcher and the pumpkin, and the bracelet... they are all treasures!
Janae seems like such a sweet girl, i know you are so proud of her. It's so cool how all of you love animals, and she has that love for animals too.
And, is that the wonderful rose in one of the photos that i love so, now i can't remember the name of it!
