Miss you lots

Here is a card that I made to send to my daughter at college.  I went to spend the day after her 21st birthday with her since I thought she would like to spend her 21st with her friends. She told me that she cried because she didn't spend the day with me, and she doesn't remember a day where I didn't spend time with her on her actual birthday.  Her boyfriend agreed that she did cry so then I felt bad.  She is my baby.

    Such a sweet card Lisa. I love the embossed background.

    My daughter just left for college and I am missing her so much! I have made a handful of cards just for her. It's sure hard to send them off into the world, even though we know it's best for them.
