The last of them.

That's the last of the handmade ones.  This one was made by my daughter-in-law and, although not the main card from my youngest's family I think it's beautiful.  It contained a CD of music popular from 1955 to 1985 - not all to my taste but there were a lot that were and many bought back quite a few memories.  Anyway, the card was all her own artwork, inside and out, with contributions from 'only just' (on 26th January) 5 year old Amy (the backwards writing - bless!)

 Enjoy!!

Nearing the end.

A couple more and nearly done!

Kim's and this one really made me chuckle!

... the extra detail that tickled my sense of humour *hehe*

I can't say who made this one but it wasn't by the person that gave it to me - or at least, I don't think she's taken up card making but who knows?  A very long standing friend (since 1969-ish) gave it to me - Mary.  I'll have to find out where she's getting her handmades from *grin*

Enjoy!!

Still failing but ...

... it's been another busy week!  It's also been a very lucky one so far and today is the 6th anniversary of the day I stopped smoking!

As the last post says it was my 60th birthday on Sunday. We've never made a big thing of birthdays and this one was going to be no different. We couldn't go out for a meal because of Paul's hand being as it is. He's not allowed to use it any more than he has to and getting in and out of cars is an impossibility so, stay at home we did. All the family called at some point throughout the day bringing gifts, cards, a few laughs and total mayhem *LOL* 

I had a lot of cards, including a fair few from crafty friends and I'm posting a few of those daily over on my crafty blog.

I was spoilt with presents.  Chocolates, vouchers, CD, MP3 player, smellies and flowers.

Hubby bought me a Kindle.  Don't yer just like his gift wrapping - *lol*  Mind you, it's better than I was expecting 'cos until the day before it was still in the Amazon box it was delivered in ☺  He spoilt my photo opportunity as I was sure that's how it was going to be given to me *hehe*

I was given a beautiful little owl ornament from the littlies and their Mum & Dad ... just love it! Look at the detail.  Amazing.

That was Sunday and it's continued .....

A BIG birthday 2!

I thought I'd show you some of the beautiful cards I received for my birthday from some of my crafty friends.  Can't give you any details on what was used (well, some I could as I recognise odd bits used - lol!) but these are being posted just for the inspiration and enjoyment.  I'm the lucky one as I'm sitting here surrounded by them and, as usual, they look so much better in real life!  I'm not going to post them all in one go but a few each day so here are the first couple ....
