Traveling for our 40th Anniversary

Rodney and I are in St. Ignace, MI, enjoying beautiful weather and lots of activities. Fortunately for us on the weekend of our  Anniversary there is a lot of cool things going on here. We choose St. Ignace to celebrate this big event in our life together because we have had so many good memories together here.

I am using my new Smash journal http://www.smashstoriesblog.com/ to record our events. I am having a blast and so is he!

Will be back with more info soon!

Sabrina the Birthday Bear


When my baby, Sabrina turned 30 we went shopping and she wanted to get a Build a Bear. It was a very fun time with her.  To remember the special Day, I decided to get one and dress her like Sabrina and since it was Sabrina's birthday I added the Birthday song to the bear. 

After bringing it home I decided to call it Sabrina and then thought it would be nice to share her with others. So the idea came to me to make the tag you see and have it open for a place for signatures. The tag says: 

Hello, my name is Sabrina.
I am a Birthday Bear.
I am here to wish you Happy Birthday!
Just squeeze my left foot
and when my song is finished, look in my purse for your surprise!
On you way home today, please take me home to Lonna’s Office. Thank you!
P.S. Please write your name and Birthday on the inside of my tag,
so I can remember you on my journey.

I took her to work for many birthdays and she gave a smile to their faces, and each one found a gift card in her purse.

Here is a picture of my baby with her favorite treat on her 30th birthday.
