On my eighth birthday, a red and white bike with a banana seat was waiting for me on the patio. Such wonderful memories of that special day.

My dad passed away seven years ago. I miss him every day and feel so blessed that I have so many wonderful memories to cherish. He was "a character." He paved his own way in the world and taught me how to do the same. There was never a moment that I doubted his love for me. As I sit here thinking about all the moments with him, I'm smiling and crying. I can't pick one moment because it wouldn't capture everything about who he was and how he made me feel. It's amazing that those "little" moments become the ones we treasure the most.

Nichole, You make beautiful cards and always inspire me so much. Today I am all verklempt by your Memories with Dad card. It is so perfect in every way. My dad would have loved to receive that kind of card on Father's Day. The memories die will be just the thing I need to make a special project in honor of my dad. Off to look for photos and reminisce about the special moments I cherished with my dad. It's been seven years and I still miss him every day.

It's very hard to choose a favorite. Stitches and Swirls is a favorite stamp set. I am also addicted to creating little file folders with Edgers die #5. My favorite color is Aqua Mist. Happy Anniversary, PTI....best wishes for many more years. I love adding to my PTI collection.
