A little close up (although the colors are a bit off...)

Happy Birthday M

I created a card with a little pocket in it filled with two identical word searches (for Mary and her hubby Derrick) called All About Mary. Listing words I brainstormed about Mary.

My words to tell about Mary??

talented (seriously talented this girl!)
Derrick (DH)
witty (read her writing and you'll see what I mean)
friend (yup, lucky me!)
photographer (she's better than she thinks she is!)
creative (seriously have you SEEN her stuff?)
writer (she has a gift with words!)
scrapbooker (have you SEEN her stuff?)
reader (she is a book lover! i love being her goodreads friend!)
designer (yet again...have you SEEN her stuff?)
beautiful (photogenic, simply beautiful)
engineer (her pre-baby job)
married (to her DH)
generous (she actually gave me almost every piece of everything on the card I made her....)
kind (see above)
crafty (yet again...have you SEEN her stuff? check out what she did with her Yudu)
Sadie (her daughter)
funny (yep. she is)
laugh (i love to hear her laugh. it's infectious.)

So Mary. Hope you have a GREAT day today.
