We had a great time on Tuesday evening for Mum's birthday - after a bubbly toast at my house we whisked her off for a surprise Chinese meal, and here she is with her surprise cake!! Perhaps I should add, she's not wearing sparkly Micky Mouse ears (not that there's owt wrong with that, if that's what you like to do in the privacy of yer own pad), that'd be the helium balloons behind her head! Classic photography blooper that! The waiters dimmed the lights as they brought it out accompanied by "Happy Birthday" - which the fellow restaurant goers joined in with, and Cliff Richards jolly "Congratulations". I think Mum was mortified put certainly put a brave face on it!! She swore blind that she'd inflict us with much pain and misery if we so much as sent her a card with "50" on it, so Katrina came up with the nifty idea of the "1956" candles - hehehe! She loved the 8x8 album I made for her - I think at the last count there were over 20 pages in there. There's still lots for her to explore - secret journaling, and even some blank places where she can add her own thoughts.


And, after the disappointment of my BOB lo's in Scrapbook Inspirations, I've had a confidence boost today!! I received an email from CJ requesting one of my LO's for the Great Outdoors gallery call, which will be featured in issue 19!! I'm thrilled to bits, and thankfully Lee was home this afternoon as otherwise I would have dashed to the PO, pizza box in hand, in my jimjam johnies!!! I'm a right blonde at times!!! Thankfully I caught him in a fabbo mood and he suggested I get showered and dressed whilst he took it down the post office for me - bless 'im!
And I guess I owe a big thank you to blogger today - THREE images in one post?! - what have I done to deserve that?! Summit must be up!! :D
