Missing you...Happy Birthday, Amanda:)

It's March 4, 2012 and 29 years ago, my MOST WONDERFUL dear daughter was born.  She has grown into an AMAZING, SMART, TALENTED, BEAUTIFUL woman, and I'm VERY PROUD of her.

Alas, she still lives on the east coast and is busy attending nursing school and raising two BEAUTIFUL children...and I miss her every day!  We talk often and try to visit each other as much as possible, but I still MISS her.  Amanda, this card is on it's way to you:)  Love you dear daughter.

I was searching through some of my buddies' blogs and came across a BEAUTIFUL card a friend of mine made.  It "spoke" to me, so I decided to use it for inspiration as I designed a card to send to my daugther.

For my inspiration, please visit Gloria's blog.  Thank you, Gloria!  My take on Gloria's card is below:)
