Happy Birthday!



Hello there!

I hope you all here in the USA had a wonderful blessed Thanksgiving!  We went to our son's and had a great dinner.  He does the Thanksgiving meal and we do the Christmas meal.  We managed to fight the crowds on Black Friday shopping.  It really seemed to be more crowded this year.  My left hip felt it and I was happy when we were done!  I'm afraid I'm going to have to have the left hip done some time this year.  I was really hoping I wouldn't have to have it for quite awhile.  I was lucky at one store and got a free charm when they pulled out my son's friend's name for a drawing.  And, my son found a good sale on a suit jacket for himself.  

The above card was made for a former sweet coworker.  The card was made using a Simon Says cardinal die.  The bow and greenery is from Spellbinder's.  The sentiment is from Honey Bee.  I only embossed the lower portion of the panel with a folder from Spellbinder's.  

We were supposed to get 3-5 inches of snow over the weekend, but we only got a dusting of snow.  We now are due to get 2-4 inches of snow tomorrow night.  Maybe it will only be a dusting of snow once again.(fingers crossed)  I like snow, but only at Christmas!

Ok, well off to see your lovely creations on your blogs!  Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  Take care!

Hugs!

  3. I admire your bravery to shop on Black Friday and sounds like it was really worth it. I hate that you have another possible surgery coming up but it will be worth it in the end. Your card is lovely - I'm a big fan of cardinals and this is a great one. It made a pretty birthday card and I do like that bow die. We got a bit of snow Saturday and three inches last night. They are plowing our street right now.

  4. Your cardinal looks wonderful on that gorgeous green background and your splatters look wonderful, just like it could be snowing. You can keep your snow. I am hoping we have a winter without any! Hope you manage OK with your sore hip, that's no fun xx
