Seize the Birthday Challenge - Inspired by a Book

Story time - For my son's baby shower, bringing a book was part of the request.  I knew instantly what book I would bring!  I saved Love You Forever all these years, wanting to pass it down to my grandchild.  I must have read that book to my son for the first 7 years of his life.  When my son saw the book, he started crying.  It was a moment I must say.  Forward to currently, my grandson is now a couple of weeks old, and his mom has started reading him the book.  She can't get through it without tearing up.  I'm telling you, it is an awesome book!

For my card, I just used the title.

Totally CAS, but it sure works!

The sentiment is computer generated.

Your turn!  What book inspires you?  Come on over to STB and join in the fun!



Thanks for stopping by~
