I'll have to remember this card, my nephew is turning 14 on Thursday and he also plays football and has the same school colors, and I still need to make a card! :) Boo Boo and Boo is the nickname I gave my daughter when she was a baby. I still call her that at games and stuff on accident! It fine to call her that at home, but she doen't like it in public! :)Winterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12665546201372036027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723927339920187862.post-40936559942875268012009-09-07T10:09:08.763-05:002009-09-07T10:09:08.763-05:00Great football card - love the bold, graphic style...Great football card - love the bold, graphic style & how it goes sooooo well with the photo! <br /><br />Ahhhh....middle school age....Be prepared to fast forward until he's about 16 1/2 or 17 and turns normal again :)<br /><br />Ciao - Boo Boo!!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05821054532810248534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723927339920187862.post-78424146978321118612009-09-07T08:45:52.117-05:002009-09-07T08:45:52.117-05:00What a cutie.

Sorry...may mean some business for you!! It's too amazing not to show off! But I was FLOORED at your card. I didn't see it until we were leaving yesterday and I looked at it and showed it to your mom and said "Oh my gosh!! HOW did she do this?!" You are SO talented! It was just the most gorgeous perfect card for him. You couldn't BUY anything more perfect! And what a memory it will make for him! I look at the photo above you took, and I still remember the day we brought him home from the hospital. 7 1/2 lbs., beautiful and round. Makes me tear up thinking about it. Oh my gosh, my gosh, the days fly by. Here, my oldest son is expecting his second child and here my youngest is turning into a man. Alex says he can't wait to leave the nest and leave me and Dad standing there with dust flying in our faces. But that's a good thing. They are MEANT to leave the nest and stretch their wings and fly. But do I dread those days coming up when it will just be me and Mike here alone. NOPE! Actually looking forward to it. Rediscovering our love for just each other with no kids blocking our view. Vacationing where WE want to go, eating where WE want to eat, running through the house necked if we want! LOL! When I was turning 40 four years ago, and realizing Alex was growing up fast and he would be my last child, I felt like I needed to have another baby to fill that void in my heart, but I didn't really WANT to have another one. I felt too old to go through it all again. The Holy Spirit passed along my message to God, and boom! God answered my prayer. In walks Dustin and Kayla and says "You're gonna be a grandmother!" My little Shay has filled that void in my heart. GRANDMOTHER. MOTHER/GRANDMOTHER. What a blessing. I'm full.

(Thankfully, they do grow out of their 13-year-old-ness... but it does take awhile as it then becomes their 14-year-old-ness... 15-year-old-ness, etc.) Have a wonderful holiday!Janellehttp://www.showandtellblog.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723927339920187862.post-85950669432427116242009-09-07T07:01:32.484-05:002009-09-07T07:01:32.484-05:00This is perfect!
