It started early, Thursday night, with a 40th birthday party of an old friend of Paul's. He saw people that he hadnt seen for nearly 20 years. Friday MY BIG DAY was lovely. I received so many gifts and cards that I was really overwhelmed. The evening was spent at my sisters 25th Wedding Anniversary Party amongst lots of family and friends. Saturday I had a lovely morning with Kelly and other SU demonstrators and again, it was a truly memorable experience. We made 3 projects, all stunning. THANK YOU KELLY.
It was then time for lunch, more coffee, cake and a bit of shopping with friends. I was given a present and told to watch my eyes as I opened it. Well, here I am opening it up
very timidly as I was really frightened of what it could be

off it went, up in the air
it is a portable light studio so that I can take decent photos of my cards. Thank you Paula and Alyson. The whole thing just burst into life and shot straight up into the air and I think we caused quite a stir in the cafe....oppps.Today it really was a day of rest....I have spent most of it in my craft room giving it a clean and a sort out...not finished it but made a great start.
Here are a few pictures of the big party Friday night and the book/card I made for my sis
