Card Club Birthday Celebration




We celebrated in style the other night. I set the table with my best china and we ate pizza and salad on it. Why do we always save our good stuff to use. I say use it. Maybe I am getting smarter in my older age. We missed you Andrea! I have had a great long weekend so far. Last night I worked the crop at K2 and it was great. A great group of women all talking and laughing and scrapbooking. I brought my 2008 Heidi Swapp calendar to work on and I am up to date. I went through my calendar stuff and found some vintage stickers in my collection. I have been super scrappy today, I have completed 3 pages and added to a Scrap and Dash page I brought home last night. I took a long nap today! I love a good nap on a Saturday. Andrew is at a friends for a sleep over. Jeff is watching TV and I am loving the office with the new fan, so much cooler in here.

My Birthday- A big thank you!


I had a great birthday this year. Thank you to everyone who called and wished me Happy Birthday. I got beautiful flowers and cards and such lovely gifts. It made me feel super special. I had an event all day and then we celebrated at home. Boy this month has gone fast, I can hardly believe it is almost 4th of July. I have been scrapping a lot, I wont' be at SDV this year so I can't use that as my excuse not to be caught up. I did my first 8 1/2 by 11 page the other day. What a funny size. I am in love with all the new Doodlebug papers and embellishments.

Andrew is having a fun summer at camp. Jeff ordered my birthday present tonight on line. This year is going fast!

Happy Birthday to me



Last year I got to celebrate my birthday in Africa! It was the most amazing birthday ever. Our guide asked me what animals would you like to see today and I said "giraffes" and we did, how freaking cool it was. How can you beat that birthday? This year I will celebrate with family and friends. We still joke about the white cake with brown writing from Kechwa Tembo. Jeff said he would call them and order one to be sent, I said, save the money a cake from Publix taste better! How did I get to be 44? How did my baby get to be 9 and a half.

So many thoughts. Tomorrow is Fathers Day. A happy day for my husband and my son. A sad day for Shari, Jon and me. This will be my second fathers day without my dad. Three years ago I celebrated Fathers Day with my father in NJ. Later that night he went to the hospital and I begged G-d not to take him, I wasn't ready, it wasn't his time yet. A year later a couple of days before Fathers Day I was in NJ with my dad and saw him for the last time. G-d had given us one more year. When someone you love dies there was never enough time to have them. You always want one more day, one more week, one more year. I will remember my dad tomorrow as I remember him every day. He was my hero & my strenghth. He gave me so many gifts...the joy of classical music and reading, the gift of my education, my religion, my memories. He was so strong and so smart. He was a father, a husband, a poppy, a friend, a dentist. He was my dad. Happy Fathers Day, Daddy, I love you.
