Happy Birthday, Cindy!

QUICK post - I have just a few moments before I'm supposed to be somewhere else! :D - but it's Cindy's birthday. I wanted to show you the card I gave her Sunday, both as a hostess gift and as her birthday card.

Our new pop-up dies are so fun to work with! I've been so busy with other toys - er, ummm, TOOLS! - I haven't shown it to you yet. Plus, it's hard to photograph! :D But here's the outside of the card:



Pale Plum card stock, 5/8" Whisper White satin ribbon, flower in Pale Plum is from HEARTFELT THANKS. Now, for the inside....





Isn't it fun??? :) The background is Perfect Plum; both sayings, embossed in white, are from A LITTLE BIRTHDAY CHEER. The cake is cut from Pale Plum card stock, and the DSP is from Candy Lane.

It's SUPER SIMPLE to put together! I have a harder time deciding which colors to use. LOL!

Here's one more picture of the cake:

You have three more days to get your birthday cards in for the THIRD ANNUAL BIRTHDAY CARD CONTEST!!! Hurry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Now, I've got to run. Have a wonderful evening, and PLEASE! Take the time to STAMP something - you'll have a great time! :D

Come on over!

What do you say?? Give me a buzz tonight, and say, "I want some of that beautiful cake!" :D Kenn requested a pineapple upside-down cake, and here it is, fresh from the oven. I didn't get it centered on the plate, and tried to push it over - that's why you can see a huge crack up the left corner. OH, WELL. :D

I'd love to sit down and chat with each one of you, to enjoy the person YOU are, and to develop our friendship. If you get a chance to meet me in person (if you don't know me already!:D), I'd SO love to do that!!! If you're one of my dear friends/customers already, I'd love to spend some one-on-one time with you. Just drop me a line, and let's get it on the calendar! I want to spend 2008 enjoying more of life, instead of wondering where it went! :D

That's a GOAL for me. I don't do resolutions; there's nothing to say it's what I want to accomplish. So, what do you want to accomplish in 2008? Let's hear some ideas; there might be a prize in it for someone.... :)

Friends are so wonderful!

My girlfriends had a party set up for me at our church's craft night last night; the decor was flip-flops! :D The cake was adorable, and I actually had a piece for breakfast. Don't tell anyone!! I didn't get a lot done, but it was good to spend time with everyone. A few people actually dropped by just to tell me happy birthday; it was REALLY sweet. I appreciated EVERYONE'S effort - and Amy for getting the cake made at the Hermitage Bakery! :D

Time is quickly running out for my birthday card contest, everyone! I've only received a few to enter! Why not email me a file today???? You could win!!! :)

Have a wonderful weekend! Count your blessings, and spend time with someone you love!
