They Say It's Your Birthday Challenge!

Is it just me, or does it seem like 90% of the population was born between April and June? I know it's not really true, but it sure seems like it around my house! This got me to thinking that is was about time to do a birthday challenge.
I always love checking out the adorable home made birthday decorations that my crafty friends create. They posses so much more charm than the store bought stuff, and it's a great way to use up your not so favorite papers. So use this opportunity to show us your decor, or scrap a birthday past, or make some birthday cards! Some of my favorite LO's are of the boys birthday parties! There is nothing like a candle blowing shot to make for a fun LO! :)

The "I love" challenge.

Do any of you remember this song from the 70's called "I love" from Tom T. Hall? I have it on a cd that my kids and I listen to in the car and I thought it was a perfect inspiration piece for our next challenge! If you haven't heard it here is a video with all the words.

The challenge is to document the things that you most "love". I just love the way that he sums up all of the things that make him happy in this life in just about 2 minutes. These are the things that define us and make us who we are. They also unite us, in commonalities. I would guess that most of us would have to list scrapbooking as a "love."
I am really looking forward to reading and seeing all of your work! Have fun with this one ladies. It runs from today, through May 13th, and please link up in the comments section so we can do another slide show this time around!
Here are the DT entries!

The Domestic Goddess Challenge

Hello Friends! Ready for a fun new challenge? The name of the last kit (Delightfully Domestic) got some of the gals on the the design team thinking about documenting their daily domestic routine. So that is our challenge this time around! :)
We will be running this challenge from today through April 2nd. Please be sure to link your work in the comments section so we can create a slide show this time around. Here is the inspiring work from the DT! I love how "someone" documented how un-domestic she is...that is so cool!
Have fun with this one gals!
