Not ever an important event in my household growing up were the "hallmark holidays." My parents shrugged at the idea of Mother's, Father's and Valentines Day.
I liked that, for its individuality, but now I'm falling in with the crowd and choosing to celebrate them.
After all, it's just another excuse to do something arty.
I've insisted to The Boy that every year he will help with a handmade gift or card for me (until our little monster/s is/are old enough to use a glue stick unaided). A tradition I hope will follow my kids long into their adult lives.
For the first Sunday of this September, however, I did something a little different than "hand-made" but it still had that personal touch.

It felt good sink my teeth into a little photoshop after both my boys were tucked up in their beds.
I did this as a trial run as a thank you to itti bitti who I won an ERGObaby off of last month.
I love free stuff. I never win free stuff... guess I can't say that anymore.
