I really am still here, I promise! This has been such a crazy fall. Just waiting for baby to come in January!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Meanwhile, my son is almost 7 (I'm not really sure where those 7 years went.) He REALLY wanted an angry birds birthday party this year. We did the family party and found him an Angry Birds cake and everything. So for table decor I made these boxes to put some goodies in. They're a spin on the flower baskets I found a while back, minus the handles. I can't remember where I found the tutorial though, but if I can find it I will come back and update. Basically you take a 12x12 piece of cardstock and score on all four sides at 3.5", cut on each side of two of the rectangles, fold up and glue.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The birds I cut using punches - circles and small rectangle.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I am so glad it's Saturday! The boys are off at a Lowe's workshop, so it's just me and the girl here right now. Although I'm thinking a nap is soon in order, lol! As I was looking through my card stash the other day I realized I am really low on birthday cards, especially girly ones. So I will be working on replenishing that! (We have a large family and lots of April birthdays too!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
