Well a couple of weeks ago I celebrated my 40th Birthday and while it is just another day and my age doesn't worry me in the least - I have to say thanks to my family and friends I had a fantastic day!
I had lunch with the scrap girls and my running partner at the old bank and it was very yummy! The girls spoilt me rotten here is a couple of pictures of what I received that was "hand made"
Diane did this lovely bottle of wine holder - the photo does not do it justice and I was running out of light to take more photos but if you head over to Diane's blog you will find more pictures:
Bo Made this stunning card - she really should have her own blog to showcase her own work - aye BO! Bo coloured the image many weeks ago and I loved it so I told her that was mine lol - and it came in this stunning card!
And Jo made this one, which is AWESOME as last year I got a birthday card in December lol - Jo you have set the standard now!
Jo also has more pictures on her blog if you would like to have a look!
I was also surprised later that evening when I went to Mum and Dad's for a quiet tea that some of the girls and their partners or children where at mum's for a pot luck tea complete with birthday cake - luckily with a number 40 candle instead of 40 candles - that would have set off the fire alarm!
I am truly blessed to have a loving family and amazing friends who make every day special but this particular day even more so :-) Thank you to each and every one of you.
I also won a prize of a couple of blogs and I didn't take a photo of Janine's wonderful wrapping but this is what I got in the mail the day before my birthday:
I have used both the garlic holder and skin taker offer lol but am yet to use my book - this is going to be so helpful though - I need to trawl through it before doing the groceries so I can have the cupboard stocked ready! Check out Janine's blog for feedback on some of the recipe's that she has already tried!
Also Janine makes her own skin care - go and check her out!
I have also made a couple of cards and been to the Embellish It day scrap last weekend - so a bit more to catch you up on - when I can find some time and daylight to get the photos!
Have a great week everyone and thanks so much for calling
