On your 3rd Birthday William-Bear
Dear William, You’re another year older! 3 whole years! Such a big man and a little boy all wrapped into one. People say you talk like a 4 year old, and I tend to agree.

Family of 4
It’s official. As of 4/24/2014 we became a family of 4! Christopher Quinn Baxter made his appearance via c-section at 1pm weighing 8lbs 15oz and measuring 20.5″ long. This c-section was scheduled, which in a lot of ways made things much simpler than last time, especially for someone like me who likes to plan well in advance. Not being induced… Read more →
William the 2 Year Old

I have written out the delivery details… Read more →
A Birthday Card for a Lovely Lady
Happy Birthday to my Grandma Koenig! Lately I’ve been experimenting create cards that are suitable for multiple purposes. With some different lettering, I think this one would look lovely as a shower card, ‘just because’, or perhaps even a thank-you card. Read more →
Another Baxter Birthday!
This time it’s Grandma Maydene’s turn. Even with my lack of craft-room lighting, I got this card done (more on the lighting issues at a later date). Happy Birthday Grandma Baxter! We love you! Read more →
Learning from My Mistakes
So far all of the items I’ve posted have been first draft items… that is to say it was my first try at making a particular design. These cards however are the new and improved versions of a card I made when I was first starting out and therefore “New and Improved”. I’m not going to go into particulars, but… Read more →
Circles and Squares
I got this fun idea for some cards here: Dali Decals. Maybe in my future house I will play with this sort of fun on the walls, but for now cards will have to do. Read more →
