I Love you...to the Moon and Back

Ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you that I LOVE and adore my nephew. He lives 6 hours away from me and I just don't get to see him as often as I want to. When I read Gina's blog post about fall memories and the challenge to create a project based on a memory I contemplated what I should create- do I focus on the bonfires, time with friends, corn mazes, pumpkins, or something else entirely? The one thing I kept coming back to was the birth of my nephew. He will be four in October. I remember to this day- sitting at home while we waited anxiously for a phone call from my sister or brother in law, the anxiousness of driving over from my parents' house (a four hour drive), holding him for the first time in the hospital, marveling over how tiny he was, being there when he came home and when my dad walked in as a surprise to my sister. Vivid, wonderful, amazing memories that I will cherish forever. So, what else could I do but create something based on that one cherished memory.

When I got Tami's Oh Boy set it was for the specific purpose of making things for that amazing little boy that I love so much- it's perfect for him as he is all boy so I knew immediately what set I wanted to pull out. I had so much fun making this card because as I was making it he was in my thoughts. Aren't those the best kind of cards? Enjoy and go here to this post to find out when the deadline is to participate (and to check out the other projects).

Go Buckeyes!

My sister, brother in law, and nephew live in Columbus, Ohio and all are big Buckeye fans (as am I).  My nephew loves all things sports (courtesy of his sports nut of a father) and my sister recently took a picture of him wearing this football jersey (finally- I have been after her forever it seems like) so I had to use Fumble- one of the Sunshine Stamps images from the sports line.  I just love the crooked smile!

Before I show you the page and give you the deets: if you are interested in some FABULOUS blog candy (I think it's fabulous anyway) be sure to check out THIS POST!!!!!  I need some quotes/ Bible verses to pass along to Sunshine.  I gave her some quotes already and have a list of Bible verses to pass on also but would LOVE more!
