Saturday mornings are awesome!

I'm a morning person. I could probably count on one hand the number of times I've slept longer than my children (who are also morning people -- as in 6AM morning people!). While we are usually meeting each other in the kitchen bright & early for the handing out of cereal bowls, juice and milk, there are rare occasions when I beat everyone out of bed and have the house to myself. I not only look forward to these moments, I treat them like a secret my best friend has shared with me. With the lights still off, I tip-toe to the coffee pot for a cup of caffeine and then I quietly grab my laptop, settle onto the couch with the dog's head keeping my feet warm and re-acquaint myself with the world. After the customary email, Facebook and Yahoo news, I start checking to see what my favorite Bloggers have been up to. This morning I had some fun on my first Blog Hop, courtesy of one of my favorite websites, The Pink Stamper. What's a Blog Hop, you ask? Well, I visited several super cute blogs, picking up one keyword from each stop to figure out what our challenge was. At the end of the "hop", the challenge was to create a card using stamps and/or the color pink. I've been wanting to create something "girlie" for a few days now, but in a house full of Star Wars, Legos and Mario, it's sometimes hard for me to find inspiration in the color pink. I hope you like my pink birthday card as much as I do!
