  3. wow...those tats are awesome. i will admit that I have always wanted to get one but have a problem with pain, lol. Everyone I know that has a tattoo I end up asking if it hurt and some say just a little. sigh, maybe one day :) That little button fairy is too darn cute and I love the blue wings on it. Of course I enjoy your layouts. you have such a great style. The little 'hi' card just makes me smile. It is so fun looking and you can't help but smile when seeing it. Hope you are having a great day!
