It's A Beautiful World!!



It's a Beautiful World!!

Especially....




since the day Mandy created


ONE year ago!


Watching her beautiful beautiful

little Amelia grow

is one of the sweetest gifts

I know...

Amelia's first birthday party , inspired by

Marie Antoinette last

year was an unforgettable event Mandy

shared with us all, every single step.

She welcomed us with open arms into her

Beautiful world!




Mandy shares her celebrations in life

and moments of motherhood.

Sometimes she will share a date with

Mr. a la parisienne~

Mandy is honest. She gently shares thoughts

of change through her life of being a

young mother.

She is an amazing artist, photographer, writer,

&

teacher.

She tried so beautifully to teach us all

~Joyeux Anniversaire Mandy~

Mandy is very special to me.

I hold her close to my heart.

She was one of my first friends

in my blogging family.

We both started our blogs last year in Feb.

She has been a loyal friend throughout

my blogging journey.




Mandy's eye is most romantic.

She creates handmade flower brooches.

Above is my favorite one

in her pale blush signature color,



Mandy designs blog banners, side bar

images & buttons.

You can visit Mandy's shop to view

all her talents she offers



Happy One Year


Beautiful Dear Mandy!

You have blessed me

&


all who know you~


Thank you for being here!!



XOXO

  2. Dearest Janet,

    This is the sweetest blog post I have ever read. You have such a gift at writing posts and putting images together~~everything becomes sweet and magical at the turn of your hands. It is amazing that we started this blog journey alone and then found one another...and even more amazing that Sande also began her blog at the same time. Now throughout this journey we accompany one another and pick up wonderful new friends along the way!
    You and Noel are such special ladies and I feel so privileged to be your friend.
    Thank you so much for sharing my Blog Birthday with your sweet circle of friends and for making me feel so special.

    Mandy
