This LO shows a time expanse of 6 years. In the picture on the left, my girls are 1 and 5. Now they are 7 and 11. Wow, are they growing up fast! And they have such different personalities.  The oldest is so reserved and methodical and the youngest is spirited and spunky. I have to remind myself each and every day to slow down and spend time doing things they enjoy. If not, another six years will fly by and I'll miss it.

Supplies used:
paper from my stash (I know the printed paper came from Wal-Mart. But I bought it so many years ago that I don't remember the company.)
ribbon - CTMH
Cricut - Classic Cricut Font cut at 1" (italic and italic shadow)

I have blog candy. To be eligible to receive a RAK, you must leave a comment and be a follower of my blog. I will select the winner using Random.org and post the name Monday, Jan. 7.

Up next is Jearise.
