My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Ali had not seen the movie (yet), but I had told her this was DD's favorite scene. So... this was the theme of the "dreaming of getting engaged" card.

The bunny she put in the grass represents a baby in the future. Ali predicts a boy. Why? She "can't quit thinking about Tiffany Blue ..." LOL

Many ideas were emailed to me during the making of the pages. This one was one that eventually got replaced. LOL Perfectionist, she was. :)

The real photo I sent Ali of DD's apartment bedroom. She'd kill me to know I posted this here...be kind. LOL The photo of the grass is a piece of farmland with the grass braided by her best friend. It is how she takes her home with her wherever she lives, and represents the path she's taken. :)

The front of the card is done. :)

Doll on the left is my DD. :) The card she made came about when I had told her we were not-so-patiently waiting for these two to become engaged. It was going to be a big deal when it happened, and I wanted a card to celebrate that moment when DD's dreams came true.

Let's start with the boy. It's all about him, right? This is the doll she used to play the part of my now-SIL. I still refer to him as DD's Doll. :)
