My little darling is growing up. When kids are little babies everyone tells you to enjoy them because they grow up so fast. Unfortunately when you’re sleep deprived, under a mountain of nappies (diapers) and bottles of milk and chasing them around the house so they don’t hurt themselves, it’s difficult to keep focus. Yes, it does go fast – and my baby daughter turned 10 the other day. Sigh. Anyone have a time machine so I can keep her this way forever?

Anyway, I actually came close to buying her a card this year instead of making one as I wondered whether she sometimes wished I’d just buy one like everyone else gets. Seems I was wrong as she was absolutely thrilled with her card. So much so in fact, that she asked me to order her a pack of the Au Chocolate designer paper I used to make it. LOL.

Here’s the card:
