Sweet 16 birthday cards

A little over 16 years ago

my sister in law had triplet girls

Can you imagine 3 babies at the same time?

For their sweet 16th birthday

I made them each cards

These 3 nieces of mine

are just about as sweet as can be

Unfortunately I was late

with their greetings

So the Happy Sweet 16th birthday cards

were also belated birthday cards

These cards were 

easy as pie to make:

A few years ago I found the blank cards

with envelopes at The Dollar Tree

I think I got a package of 6

What a deal!

I printed the wordage from the computer 

on nice paper

cut out and glue sticked to the cards

then I added these cute little frames

and put cupcake stickers in them

Did you have a sweet 16 birthday?

I remember my mom hanging sugar cubes

 from the chandelier

 for my older sister's sweet 16 party.

FIT FOR A KING

This is my great coworker Jamie

She just graduated from cake decorating class

and this is her graduation cake

Just look at this beauty of a cake

How incredible is the detail on this basketweave?.

VERY INCREDIBLE INDEED!

And the dazzling flowers..

What a sight to behold!

She is so artistic and talented

With great attention to detail

A few weeks ago I learned that I am losing

my position at work due to a major Reduction in Force

Jamie said she was going to really miss me

and wanted me to have this cake

Shocked doesn't even begin to describe

how I felt when she gave me the cake

I was touched beyond measure

This is one cake that is fit for a king!

Thanks Jamie

I am really going to miss you too!

and I thank you again

and again and

again and

again!

P.S. This is beyond doubt,

the most delicious cake I have 

probably ever tasted

Singing Earrings

I found some beautiful yellow glass beads last week while shopping. 

They weren't only talking to me, heck...

they were singing to me ...

A beautiful toned down canary yellow

I was intriqued by them

Yellow is not my favorite color

I knew they would make beautiful earrings

but what a challenge they proved to be

I tried to make real fancy earrings by adding

all sorts of other beads but nothing was working until

I realized they were able to shine one their own

(Later I added a tiny clear glass bead to the

top and bottom for balance)

 Light shines on the godly, and joy on those who do right

BIRTHDAY CARDS

I never seem to find cards 

that say just the right things in the stores

Plus I hate to pay five bucks for one card, don't you?

My solution is to make my own cards

I don't always have the time to do this so I 

try to make a bunch at once

Just a few birthday cards I made recently

I found the blank cards at the Dollar Tree,

cut out decorative scrapbook paper shapes with

my zig zag scissors

and then glued them down on the card

and then..

 made up little birthday greetings on the computer

printed them on white paper and glued those

on the scraps of decorative paper and then

finished them off with a sticker or two

I also embellished the cupcake cards with 

stick on rhinestones

Don't you just love the cupcake stickers?

BIRTHDAY FUN BOX

For my niece's birthday last month

I wanted to give her an 

extra gift - a fun gift

She seems to like black and white

and is a very fun loving person

so I found a fancy box

decorated with snazzy shoes

and other pretty stuff

(I love the polka dots on the box)

I filled the box with fun

black and white stuff and 

then slipped in a box

of Godiva chocolate covered

strawberries

You gotta have chocolate, 

right???

I call these

 "Birthday Fun Boxes"

I love to go shopping for 

fun little stuff

What is your shopping passion?

CONTINUATION OF LOVE STORY

This is my dad

(what a cute pup!)

My mom out riding

One of her passions!

And another of her passions; my dad!

Aren't they cute here?

They were together for so many years

but never let go of their love for each other!

I am dedicating my blog to my parents

and their beautiful love story

that is just waiting to be told,

this month, all month long.. 

They were married 

64 years ago in

February.

Good people who live honest lives will be 

a blessing to their children
