Final February Birthday Card

Hi My Friends

A little apology ladies. I made this card a few years ago.

Last weekend (Sunday) we celebrated Claire's birthday and of course played with a very poorly little man, he did brighten up when it was bath time though. We left about 6pm and by the time we got home it was too late to even think about making a card for my sister's birthday the next day, and I was exhausted.

So I went to one of my boxes of cards I've made over the years and came up with the BIG BOW card. I put an insert inside, I didn't even have to make a box as all my cards get stored in their boxes and then into a storage box , so I wrote in it and voila! job done.

I gave it to my sister on Monday along with birthday money as she is the most difficult person to buy for. If you buy her a present and it's not right she cannot control her expressions and you just know immediately you've got it wrong, so we don't bother anymore, if she doesn't say what she wants we just play it safe and give her money. Pleased to say she loved the card and said she didn't remember when I had made it, so if I hadn't told her she would have thought I was amazing. Hey Ho! I'm just too honest.

Do you remember this one?



Here Goes!

I hope you enjoyed seeing this card for a second time.

Sending you all Love & Hugs

Claire's Birthday Card

Hi My Friends

This is Claire's birthday card. The very first rose I made when I started to play with foamiran, which I wasn't willing to show  and put it in my (  maybe use later box ). I found it again today and thought maybe I could use that on Claire's card. I pulled it about a bit and took petals off and ended up with what you can see.

Phoenix has and is really poorly at the moment having just had his jabs, teething and this nasty flu like bug going around. It was Claire's birthday Saturday and we were going to get together to celebrate but Phoenix was too poorly so it was a see how he is on Sunday. It wasn't until early afternoon that we got a call to say come over which we did but my goodness Phoenix looked so bad and he didn't want anyone except his mummy. After a good hour he started to come around a bit and I did get some really special smiles and chuckles and while eating around the table we had some very funny conversations with him. He then had is bath, medication a bottle and we left when it all went quiet.

 I made this late and in the early hours and when I had finished I was so tired even to put up the little studio, so it's just in my messy workroom so the pictures are not that good.

In the next couple of months my work room is going upstairs, my work room that I work in now and the dining room is going to become our lounge and the lounge we have now is going to become the dining room. So a lot of work ahead, and when that is finished we then have to get the garden up together as we are having a big get together for our 40th wedding Anniversary on the 14th July. Plus I'm going to do all the invites too, so a lot of work ahead. I'll take pictures of the before and after if you'd like to see the progress.

 Here Goes!

Well it's coming up for midnight Sunday and am really quite tired so I'll say good night.  I'll show my sister's card over the next couple of days. Take Care all and hope to see you all again soon.

Hope you liked the card!

Love & Hugs to all

Birthday Card

Hi my friends

I hope you are all well?

February is my busy birthday month. Craig's was on the 4th, Paul's was on the 11th, Claire's is on the 16th and my sister's is on the 18th.

Craig normally opens his cards here and leaves them here too. I must say he did take his handmade Christmas card home this year though. Paul had bought him a saucy card this year so I didn't have to make him one. Paul's is shown here today and I'm hoping to put Claire's on at the weekend and my sisters next week. I have to say this is one of the most difficult cards I've photographed in a long time trying to get the background lit up. I must get a new camera. It's not a patch on my last one but it was a lot more money. any suggestions or recommendations for a good camera.

I haven't mentioned Phoenix for a while. He is now walking and is into everything, literally, but my goodness he's a lot of fun and he really is a lovely tempered little man and he enjoys very long cuddle time with me while watching Moana, such special moments along with his baby babble about the film.  Long may that continue .

I've added a video of Phoenix talking to himself in the mirror wrapped up in his towel after his bath and Claire caught it on her phone. 



Here Goes!

I watch this every morning as it starts my day day off with a big smile.

Hope you like today's blog.

Hope to see you again soon.

Love & Hugs
