sisterly love aka best package ever!

so my birthday was just over a week ago, but i have to show off the most amazing birthday package from my big sis:

i wish i could put it on display. her hubs told her she was crazy for putting so much work into a box because i would just throw it away. yeah right! i think he's the crazy one. 

"a sister's love means everything especially when i can call her friend!"

   

the most special feature- each section opens up with more goodies!

and this box is chalk full!

i love the cat artwork she made me, because let's be honest, i'm a husband away from being a crazy cat lady.

although, it's a close race between scrappy kitties and a birthday frog cookie.

of course, the art work has lasted a lot longer...

our little get-away

so maybe most people don't consider visiting family a "get-away" but our trip to my big sister's house in new-mexico-but-almost-colorado was just that.

we got to spend some quality time with her and my brother-in-law, but my little nephew is always the highlight {sorry big sis, he's just a whole lot cuter than anyone else i know}

and these two together? hilarious. {and extra adorable}

we're already planning on visiting during spring break. even if we have to hitchhike there and back!

sisterly love, of the embroidered kind

i made this for little sister {the elephant lover}

 i got the design from a printable valentine, here.

for sister-in-law {the math lover and teacher}

 originally found on graphjam.com

 i love that i doubled the nerdyness by embroidering it. it's nerdy squared!

big sister's project is currently in works this weekend. {and super secret!}
