HB Ben!

My son, Ben is turning 40 on February 28th! Yes, I was five when I had him - hehe -  We are celebrating this wonderful occasion at our home after church today with a nice dinner. 

I cannot believe how time has moved so quickly - I am so blessed to have a Strong, Brave, and a Man of courage son - Benjamin Bligh - he has truly been a blessing in my life and continues to be a blessing with his family, work, and church.

Happy 40th Birthday Ben! Love you to the moon and back ~ always, Mom

    Gail, what a fun card! I'm sure that your son will love it. I'm sure that you must be lying and you had him when you were only 3!

    I am sure you had a great celebration. Congratulations to you and to your son. (My oldest will soon be 60! Yikes!) This is such a great card to mark the occasion. Thanks for joining the QKR Stampede challenge this week.

    My Ben is only 21, so I have a ways to catch up with you. The textures in the card are what really make it special - the fur, the woodgrain and metal rifle, and who could not love the wiggle eyes! I'm so glad you joined us at the Heartful Stamping Challenge!
