Handmade Valentine's gifts...from the heart!

I'm a big fan of handmade gifts and I always tell my boys that if they are going to get me something I would much rather them make me something.  I usually get a few grumps and gravels out of them but in the end I usually get a handmade card with a hug and kiss! 


This year I must have gotten my point across, this is what I found on my computer desk this morning along with a handwritten note.  






I have to say that this has to be the best Valentines Day present I have ever received! So much better then flowers that will die!

Below is what I made for the hubs:


Along with this card






This is the card I made my my son




I also made this card and Photo Frame for my sons girlfriend

My Son's Friends read my blog!

After a recent Facebook conversation (Documented on the Right) I found out that not only does my son read my blog but so do his friends.  

After this conversation it occurred to me that my audience is just not moms or my friends and family, apparently my reach is much broader then my friends and social community.  Let me tell you not only was I surprised but quit honored.  Can you believe it my son's friends actually read my blog.  After the entail coolness wore off fear set in.  OMG~what I have I wrote that might not sit to well with the younger crowd or what did I write that might have embarrassed my son. UGG!  What have I done!!! and now how am I supposed to have my own space without worrying that I might or might not write something inappropriate.  Then I though you know what Carrey....this is your blog and you have always wrote what you want, when you want so just calm down and chill and continue to do as you always have.  But there will be one change.  I still have to write a blog post about Blake because he really, really wants one! :-)
