I am happy to let everyone know that you can visit my website-TERESA COLLINS DESIGNS and see all the papers for TRAVELOGUE. Here is a layout that I did with some of the papers:
This layout is with photos of our recent family trip to Vegas.
I have been getting A LOT of emails about the paper release. They are on my website now. Retailers can begin ordering Wed. April 30th- and shipping begins on May 1st.
Did you notice I have added a category on my blog??? You can see now the stores (both brick and mortal) and on line stores that carry my product. If you carry my product lines and want me to add you to the list- please email me. I get hundreds of emails and I would like to be able to let everyone know where they can find my lines. If a store carries all my collections, then I will make note of that. I know many of you want to get full lines. So we will see how this works out!
So I want to share some photos from Gentry's birthday. I take a photo of my kids on their birthdays (just by themselves). I want to remember what they looked like and see how they grow from year to year...
Here is her birthday hat- sparkles and all. I wanted her to feel like a princess on her special day. She is holding her birthday cake!!!!
(PS she loves not having on braces anymore!!!)
This is a photo that same day, she WILL love. You know, years from now when she is NOT so hard on herself. (Gentry- if your reading this- YOUR perfect JUST the WAY you are. Don't be so hard on yourself. I love and adore you. I'm so PROUD to be your mother.)
16 pink balloons...they are now in her bedroom- I put them in there (one by one) so they fill her room- so cute!!!
This is her cake. It is a small cake- about 5" wide. I wanted her to have her own little cake. She LOVED it!!! It made her feel special. (yes, she shared it). Now, all my other kids have asked for their own little cake. I think I started a trend here. In truth, I made banana nut bread for her and the kids too because, Gentry wanted a banana cake. However, with my lack of kitchen skills- it did not work out. Don't ask!!!! ha...
I know this is silly, but I want my kids to feel SPECIAL on their birthdays...(well everyday), so I do SILLY STUFF. I got her this glittered pink Birthday Princess sash. She only wore in at home- for a little while. I know it embarrassed her, but it was cute to me.
So there you have it...no big party- per her request. Just a little family thing. As for gifts, she really is independent and so she got money. This way she can pick out her own gifts... she loves to shop for clothes and shoes. When she is spending HER money, she is great to look for sales and find the deals.
Have a great day!!!!!!!
