This month is a biggie for my family. Not only is it Valentine’s Day but our daughter is a February baby! Actually, she was born on leap day. It’s true, that day only comes around once every four years and our lucky girl was born right smack in the middle of it.
Since we tend to celebrate birthdays in our family for at least a week, I thought it would be fun kick hers off with my Slice of Cake quilt block.
You see, it’s not officially your birthday in house until you’ve had cake. And by cake, I mean homemade. Now, they have not always been the prettiest but dang to they taste good!
I even have this old box of candle holders from my childhood. This special box is a cherished piece of history within our family that has been passed down from generation to generation. These decorative candle holders may be small but they are jam packed with amazing memories.
