I cannot believe 7 years have passed already. Sawyer has grown so much, learned so much, and yet has taught me so much more. He has the biggest and purest heart of any little boy. This past weekend, while he stayed at my parents house, he wrote a letter on my dad's computer which read like this:
My heart melted but I have come to expect no less from him. He may be quick to lose his temper sometimes, but he makes up for it by being quick to show his love and affection. And I know that my mom and my mother-in-law would agree that he might be the best snuggler around.
Sawyer, I love you, and I am so proud of the boy you have grown into. I can't wait to see what the future holds for you. You will always remain my sweet baby boy.
Sigh.
And now, on the less personal level, I am sharing the second installment of my furniture painting series today over at Remodelaholic! Today I am reviewing Annie Sloan Chalk paint and sharing how this bed went from this....
to this....
with a little glam....
Hop on over to see it! Also, I will soon be welcoming my new sponsor, Kelly from Stylish Patina, as she is an Annie Sloan stockist and can ship!

Happy Birthday to you both! That bed turned out gorgeous! Megan
I hope there's some ridiculously yummy cake in store for you two today. Happy birth!
Happy birthdays! That note is adorable, as is the picture with his sparkly blue eyes. He is going to be breaking hearts in a few years. (Or at least 15, just for you, mama.) ;)
Sawyer comes by his ability to write sweet moving notes from you perhaps? ... your words to him were equally melt-able. Happy Birthday to you both.

Happy Birthday!!
We have a waterfall dresser, vanity, hope chest, chair, and bed set that was my grandmother's. I can't bring myself to paint it (despite damage to the veneer on a few pieces), and I'm not even a very sentimental person. Your newly painted bed looks nice, but I'm still wavering!
Happy Happy Birthday to you and your handsome son!

Happy Birthday! Sawyer is adorable, and you are still so, so young, nothing to hide at all. Which I can say since I'm only a couple of years younger. I think. Honestly, I try not to remember how old I am, I think I got stuck at 27, but I do remember a 30th birthday a kid or 2 ago...
Happy, happy day to you and Sawyer! :)
Happy Birthday to both of you! How fun to share it... enjoy every second; I took my daughter back to college today. Time flies!

Happy double birthday, wow, God sent you a great present 7 years ago on your birthday! I LOVE the bed! I love waterfall pieces. I always get emails from people saying they don't like them, but I lOVE them. They continue to be one of my fav styles. Your grey color was a good color selection!
Happy Birthday to you both! Sawyer is such a sweetie and a major cutie. Oh how the girlies will be loving him (if they're not already) LOL

That is the similar furniture that I inherited with the barber shop. I hated it but told Brawn not to get rid of it because some people like that. Now I'm one of those "some people" because I see what it can be.

What a sweet boy! Hope you both had a wonderful birthday. Happy weekend!
