New Baby Boy ( well new-ish!)

Now this may seem a bit odd, but today I have a card to show you that I was asked to make a couple of weeks ago - by a friend - for the birth of her latest grandson, even though he was born 10 months ago!!!

This particular lady was one of the teaching assistants in my daughter Meg's class, when she attended the local special needs school. Diane and her friend Karen both worked in Meg's class and the pair of them together are like Morecambe and Wise, they are a real double act and will have you cracking up with laughter within a couple of minutes of meeting them. Meg adored them and they adored her, and they have kept in touch with her even though she left school over 4 years ago and wasn't even in their class for the last three years that she was in school. They regularly visit, and never forget her birthdays or Christmas. We always look forward to their visits as we know they will be full of fun.

Anyway, I have been making special occasion cards for Diane since Meg first joined their class in 2003 and over the years have made all her children's 18th and 21st birthday cards, their engagement and wedding cards and then all her grandchildren's birth and christening cards, but for some reason this little fellow was overlooked. All her children have memory boxes for their babies and Brannon was the only one who didn't have a handmade birth card in his box, so she asked me if I would make him one now, so that it could be added before he was old enough to notice that he didn't have one LOL!
