This is my sister's birthday gift.
She turned 18 a couple of weeks ago.
Yes. I'm a total slacker and haven't given her the gift yet.
Isn't she a total DOLL?
I adore her.
I made the "K" to go in her room. The room that she will only be living in for a few more months since she'll be heading off to COLLEGE this fall.
When I started college, she was just 4.
When I started college, the Spice Girls had a hit song on the radio.
I actually jammed out to "Mmmm Bop".
I took over an HOUR to get dressed to go anywhere.
I had never heard of Raffi, Laurie Berkner, or The Wiggles (say it ain't so!)
I had at least 3 silky shirts because that's what Jennifer Aniston wore on Friends.
My hair was...blonde. For a semester or two.
I drank REAL coke - not Diet Coke.
There wasn't a Starbucks on every corner. In fact, I'd never even entered a Starbucks.
Adidas shoes were soooo cutting edge.
I thought that 21 was old.
Northface jackets and Vasque boots were worn even if you had no intention of EVER hiking.
I wasn't ashamed to listen to Hootie and the Blowfish
I still had a Walkman.
I only had like 4 friends who actually owned a cell phone.
Those same 4 friends were the only ones I knew that actually owned a computer - and it was purely used for word processing.
I'm seriously o-l-d.
Speaking of old, I'm turning 32 on Monday.
I actually REMEMBER when my mom was 32.
Pathetic.
Anyway - Happy belated birthday to my sweet, adorable, funny sister.
Hope you enjoy your little birthday "happy"!
I love you!

Ya know, my name starts with a K too...and I have a b-day coming up...cough cough. :) You are way to cute and sassy to be old. I'm 22, so I can be the judge of that. The K is lovely.
Your list is taking me back! My brother turns 18 in May and is leaving for college in the fall too! I can't believe it.
I do still drink Real Coke though, I can't give that up.
Super cute K....and your sis is pretty cute, too!
Ahh, the silk shirt. I had one that was bright orange and pink...it made a statement. ;-)
At 18 I couldn't even fathom being 26....that was SO OLD. Now I think it's not too shabby!
What a adorable couple of sister that you both are. Love the "K"....your craftiness amazes me!
Dude...I still love Hootie and the Blowfish, I'm off to itunes now ;)
Happy Birthday to both of you!! :)
First, such a cute gift for your very cute sister!
And second, I relate to everything on your list. I am turning 33 this year!
I love this letter. The paper you chose is so cute! Great job!
I love your K and your memories. Where did you get the letter base?
I LOVE this craft idea!
So, how'd ya do it? Paper and ModPodge? Please don't hold out on me!
Your sister is adorable!
I think any girl would love their initial in their dorm. Or, maybe I get too excited about typography! :)
I just turned 32 a couple weeks ago, and I LOVE it. Yes, I'm weird...I actually like getting older. I think it stems from being the baby of 5 children...but whatever. Happy early Birthday!
Your "k" turned out fabulous! I love those papers. I use those two quite frequently. And you got all fancy and even covered the sides with paper. That is dedication!
Happy Weekend ~ Amanda
32... i just turned 32 about 2 weeks ago. i'm shocked that you're "that old" (ha)... you don't look it. not at all!!!
cute letter K. i'm guessing you got it at hobby lobby? we have a M, but of course i just painted ours. your's K... cuteness!!!
Hi, I just stumbled across your blog. May I ask where you found that K?? I've been looking for a large one for our house (Our last name begins with a K)and I love the look of yours.
32 isn't old...(I'm 36!) You're only as old as you feel. Some days I feel 21 other days I feel 71! LOL
She's a doll...but then, so are you. :) Guess it runs in the family.
Love what you did with the K, little Miss Crafty Thang.
And I turned 32 in Dec. so I know the feeling. Crazy, huh?
Love the K and it will be so perfect for a dorm room! You are your sister are too cute!
Okay....to make a long story short, I know you through my brother and sis-in-law, Brent and Becky Lollar.
I LOVE reading your blog!!!! It cracks me up on most days! I'm really into doing some crafts here and there, and I want to know how to do this. I have mommy brain, so you'll have to explain REALLY good. :-)

How cool that you taught Tammy's son! She was so wonderful and I'm looking to go and see her again, I'm glad she's local.

I am loving your blog and that 'K' is awesome. I just came over from SITS to say hello and welcome! You have such adorable children and I totally laud out loud at the photo of your daughter picking your hair. Too funny.

Great letter choice (see my username.)
Your sister is a total doll. Happy birthday to everyone.
Welcome to SITS!
Hey my birthday was yesterday too! YAY!!! Well except I turned 33...
Pretty sis!
Just dropping in from SITS to welcome you. Don't forget today is SPRING FLING so there are giveaways happening everywhere! Including my place so drop by!
You are not old. Because if you are o-l-d, then that means that I am o-l-d-e-r. I'll be 34 next week.
Let's take a closer look at your list, shall we? Adidas is still cool, as is wearing Northface sans hiking, and Jennifer Aniston still knows her stuff when it comes to fashion.
I like to think that we aren't old...we are just improving with age. Besides, I see some pretty darling kids in your sidebar that I am sure were not part of your package deal during your twenties.
Happy Birthday to your sister!!!
So glad that I was able to discover your lovely blog through SITS. Welcome!
