My mother in law had a birthday a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to make her a card for her birthday and send it to her. I had an idea and it would have been great except for my pesky kids not wanting to cooperate. How dare they, right?! haha I made three signs. One said HAPPY, one said BIRTHDAY and one said NANA. My IDEA was to have Tyler hold HAPPY and to take his picture. Then I was going to have Kayla hold up HAPPY and have me take her picture. Then I wanted the two of them to hold the sign NANA together and have me take one more pictures. Tyler does his picture and all is well. I give Kayla her sign and I can NOT get her to hold it up the right. She wanted to hold it upside down so that she could read it. Looking back on it now, I wish I would have just taken her picture with it upside down because I think that would have been cute too. At the time I was frustrated and annoyed. Why can't we just relax as mom's sometimes? Sheesh. Any ways. I eventually got SOMETHING and made the card but it wasn't what I wanted it to be. Here is what we ended up with

Then I used picnik.com to make the actual card. If you have never heard of them or tried them go to their site and check them out. I made my header through their web site too!
Overall it was cute and she liked it but I wish I had gotten better pictures. Leave it to someone who considers themselves a "photographer" to not be able to get good pictures of my own kids!
