A Card for EBTKS Challenge {with String}

Hello again (finally!),

Although I did find some time to browse some blogs and get inspired by so many wonderful projects, I needed at least 3 days to make and post one card, from beginning to end. This is one thing I have to learn better: that I might not have time to make something complete in one sitting, so I might have to work in little pieces. 

I made a card to the latest EBTKS Challenge {with String}.  I know I didn't use the string in a very original way, but I still have some ideas for another card and hopefully I'll get to finish a more "string-original" one in time! :-)

Mircea is doing great! He advanced from the N to 1 diaper size and today his umbilical cord stump fell off! 

He is such a joy to us, to watch all the faces he makes when he wakes up, when he eats, when he sleeps. He has no idea yet how deeply his simple presence in our lives affects us. Sometimes I stay awake at night and fantasize about what kind of torture I would subject someone that would dare hurt him in any way. I used to laugh when James told me when I was pregnant that he would buy some netting for the stroller so the birds of prey wouldn't get to Mircea...now I'm asking him when are we going to go shopping for this stuff. 

I got to go, laundry calls. But I hope you enjoyed my card and thanks for stopping by!
