Cards, cards and more cards

When I started the other blog, I never really wanted it public because my husband didn't want pictures of our babies for all to see. So with encouragement from Sara, and lots of help from her coming up with the name, I made this blog for the public. So now I am going to post lots of cards I made along the way to here.
