1967
- Jo was 1. She was living in Blandford, Dorset with her Mum, Dad and a
cat called Snowy. Dad was in the Army so Jo was an Army Brat! For her
First Birthday she had a photo taken with a very large cake and a very
large spoon. There is no photographic evidence that she was allowed to
attack the cake with the spoon!
Jo asked that we share a picture of something we stitched that she will like. I wanted to post a picture of a finish I have never shared before. That took some thinking! And some digging around! I finally found this picture in my files. This is a pin I made my Aunt about 6 years ago. She loves giraffes. ;)
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

How cute is the photo of you and your mom on your first birthday! Love it! Love the giraffe too -- so adorable!
Oh Vickie, Your picture of you and your mom is just precious and your giraffe pin is fantastic! I love giraffes....I fact when I was in 1st grade I was a giraffe in the school play...lol! Hope you are feeling okay and that you have a good weekend:) Hugs my friend!
What a precious giraffe pin you created for your Aunt and your first birthday photo is adorable, Vickie! Have a wonderful weekend!
Good morning, Vickie!! Thinking of you today...I hope that you have a wonderful and amazing weekend!
Wow, your pink started early haha! Glad you were able to find a piece that you hadn't shared before -- it's adorable too! Great vintage cards too; love those.
Such a nice blog hop, lovely pic, cute giraffe (I'm a great fan of giraffe too). Amitiés. xxx
Thanks for taking part in the Birthday Blog Hop but I was sure there would be a poodle in the stitching! Giraffes do have a special meaning for us. When the Large Boy was small he couldn't say "giraffe" so he called them "Too Talls" from the book Dear Zoo (the child is sent a giraffe but he is Too Tall so he goes back to the zoo).
You were so cute aged one, I also love the restraining hand laid upon you by your Mum! Just in case you lunge for the cake!
What a great year, my birth year! Sweet post, love the giraffe.
A great post for Jo's birthday. That is such a cute photo of you and your mom!
Hello Vickie,
So is that cake with the pink bear an indication when you started loving the color pink? Cute photo of you and your Mom. The finished Giraffe is adorable. I hope Jo has a wonderful Big Birthday celebration!
Hello Vickie

That is a lovely picture of you with your mom and the giraffe is a cutie! Finishing him as a pin was a great idea.
Your September sampler looks wonderful and such a pretty chart from June you received.
