Happy Friday! Yay, the weekend is upon us! My desk is covered with Christmas stamps right now, so when I saw the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge this week of "cute critters", I knew just which stamp I wanted to use!
And here we go:
Here are a few more birthday cards from friends! This is from my friend Karen in Florida:
And here's a shot of my family; Dana, Wayne and John all planned a surprise birthday dinner for me at a local restaurant...an Italian restaurant so I could have my yearly celebratory tiramisu!! After a comical mixup of seating, the surprise was revealed and I was happy to be with them to celebrate my birthday. A few seconds later, I felt a tap on my shoulder and my sister from South Carolina stood behind me! She flew up to PA the day before and spent a secretive weekend with Dana just to surprise me! They REALLY got me!! I was thrilled! And oh my goodness, John is actually smiling, LOL! Poor guy was in torment all weekend long, keeping that secret!
Dana had another surprise up her sleeve, but I'll tell you about that much later! Thanks for popping in today, enjoy it and be blessed!
