it's a BOY!

I couldn't be happier for my daughter and her husband - our first little grandson is due in September!
I'm making a banner of "onesies" - I made a darling little girl banner last month for a co-worker's shower . . .

blown ink

Does anyone else remember blowing black paint around with a straw to make a "spooky" tree for Halloween in elementary school???  That's what this technique reminded me of . . .
