A flower frenzy...

Oh my gosh... only a few more days till we meet our angel.... (our first meeting is Wednesday)

It seems kinda surreal that this is my last weekend with Sam, just the two of us... that after 2.5 years of meetings and visits we are there....

We met Annabelle's foster carer on Wednesday and found out her likes and dislikes... it felt quite weird being told things about our angel lol... but it was amazing!!!!!

We saw baby photos and heard loads of stories.. It blew our minds!!!

But for now its Saturday and that means a new challenge over at 

CES

This week its FLOWER FRENZY!!!

So dig out those flowers and get creating!!

I have used a wild rose studio stamp and if you pop on over to the store some of these are still in the sale!!!

The paper is echo park county drive which I got here

The lush wooden flower heart button and pins are also from the store

I am entering this into:

The pretty little ribbon - anything goes

Cutie Pie - Flowers

Ladybug crafts - Pink and girly

Wags n whiskers - Spring break (spring colours and flowers)
