I have decided that shopping for a boy (for his birthday) is a lot harder then shopping for a girl! When shopping for a boy, you have two choices, action figures or cars. THAT IS IT!!! When shopping for a girl, your choices are endless! SERIOUSLY!!!
With that said, I am not a parent that follows the “crowd” or the “trend” in toys. I am NOT into buying my daughter princess garbage (Or telling her that she is one! She is NOT!) or Barbie/BRATS/Zombie High junk either. Furthermore, I am NOT into buying boys action figures and cars (I must admit I have bought them as gifts though)! That is ridiculous!
So when Isabel and I were walking the aisles of our local Wal*Mart, we came across some amazing toys… the Backyard Safari collection. These toys are awesome! We purchased the Backyard Safari Binocs (for viewing birds and such in trees), Backyard Safari Spy Glass (for looking at tiny bugs BIG), Backyard Safari Critter Shack (for housing lizards, frogs, and other creepy crawlies), and the Backyard Safari Scoop Net (for keeping our hands safely away from hurting our bug friends)… which leads to my post… our friend Jimmy is turning 5 this weekend and instead of buying a pre-made card, I decided that Isabel and I would make an original! Besides our gift went with the “theme” on the card…bugs! I did the layout and word design. Isabel did the artwork and sticker placement (with a little help from me). Enjoy!

Happy Birthday, Jimmy!
