29 Birthdays

I like him…a lot.  A whole, whole, whole lot.

Today is Josh’s 29th birthday.  I cannot believe he (we) are only one year away from the big 3-0.  Holy cow…where did the time go?

Josh is pretty much THE. BEST.  There is not much else I can say, only that I am one lucky lady and I am truly thankful for the husband and father he is.

It also doesn’t hurt that he has the best heart and puts up with all the crazy stuff that goes on in the Kelley house, mustaches and all.  And I cannot even imagine what the big 3-0 is going to be like…totally, incredibly, freakin’ awesome…that’s what it will be…all Kelley kids together under one roof…heck yes!

The kids have been so excited about his birthday.  They even picked him out a gift all on their own and about peed their pants with anticipation of Josh opening it.

Yes, nothing says, “We love you.” “Happy Birthday!” and “You’re the best dad ever.” like a Star Wars tin full of popcorn.  They were so proud of their selection for his birthday…I think Josh dug it too.

I had him a few little surprises, but my favorite was what I made for him.  Josh made a comment about a piece I did a while back that had a Mumford & Sons quote on it.  We are big fans and we both really love this quote.  I Joshed it up a bit with a trout and some Africa map pieces…along with some other more manly strips.

I think he’s planning on hanging it in his office, but secretly (well not so secretly now) wish he would hang it at home, but it’s his birthday gift…crossing my fingers 🙂

And to celebrate Josh’s birthday with the rest of you, I am giving away this 4×12 similar canvas on PPA’s Facebook Page.  Head over and enter to win.  I will announce a winner tomorrow.

In businessy news…I made another similar piece for the Encores and More North New Mom’s Sale.  Two dear friends of ours run this sale and are crazy good, so I was more than happy to donate a piece.  If you are in need of kids clothes, this is the place to shop.  Sale opens to the public this Saturday.  And this year, they even have a home section with tons of great items.

This set of key fobs is headed to Gina in Knoxville, Tn.  Thanks so much Gina and hope everyone loves their key fobs.

I’m working like mad on orders, I promise, but also gearing up for Huddy’s Buzz Lightyear party this weekend.  Today Sol and I made lots of sweet little star crayons.  I adore any kind of shaped crayons…so fun.

Hope everyone has great day, but Josh, I hope yours is the best.  Happy Birthday and Happy Thursday!
