The title is based on the song Butterfly Kisses.
For all that I've done wrong I must have done something right ...

My darling – How we survived growing up together
I’ll never know. It must have been pure love that
got us through those rough years. I was so
young, only 18 – but you were mine. All mine.
And it was you and me against all of the
elements and against an unkind world.
I learned about true love the moment you
were born and there was never a moment
of looking back, never a moment of regret. I would
give you my last breathe if that is what I had to do.
You in turn made me stronger, made me fight
harder, made me want to make this a better
world.
For all that I have done wrong – damn it, I must
have done something right to have a daughter
like you, loyal to the end, to have a person like
you love me unconditionally.
You have become such a wonderful woman.
You are successful, smart, beautiful and
You are an awesome mom.
I love you with all of my being and if I had to do
It all over again – I would choose you again.

Look at all of that vintage lace and buttons! Love my vintage buttons.
Some of the lace is from The Embelishment Studio see here

Almost did not make it this evening. First I'm just plain ole' tired. Then the l.o. was not working out for me, then my internet goes out! Well I was surfing and came across this blog: She Scraps She is part of the Caardvarks team. She inspired me today. Her layout is called ruffle butt. I already had all of these supplies out so it was easy just "lifting" her l.o.



I just took some Heidi Swapp items and layered them. The flower for their wedding, the clock and wings for how fast time flies and the crown cause she is his princess. This couple have been together for 10 years - Married for 1. It's about dang time! LOL
ps this is Dave's nephew.

Layout of Isabella with her "new" sunglasses. June 2007
Lots of Stickles and brads. "Darling" is handwritten and colored with a sharpie marker then covered with stickles.


I got this off of a package at work. I loved the sparkle and color I added the felt flower and some Stickles.
