My daughter and her family took her along with them when they spent a weekend at the beach.
Since they got her from a shelter two years ago...they have no way of knowing if it was first time at the beach or not.
They told me she absolutely loved it.

The challenge is to add sparkle to your card.
My Sparkle was made using gold embossing powder to heat set the top of the card using a rubber stamp from a magazine I purchased. Cardmaking and & Papercraft! Sadly, the magazine is no longer being published. It was one of my favorite crafting magazines.
I just added a ribbon (that was a gift from my daughter, and flower sticker.
I think my husband enjoyed his birthday. We ate lunch at a favorite restaurant of ours that is about a 45+ minutes from our home. But it is worth the drive. You can get a free meal on your birthday. I made the mistake of eating too much! I hope I don't do that again.

I was kind of stuck what card I could make for him. In years past I would make something like a chef card (He likes to cook) Or something nautical (because he was in the Navy!
Or something with tools on it...because in the past he did a lot of work on our house. (He literary took half the roof off our house to build a dormer...mostly by himself). And, NO, he is not a carpenter by trade.
My husband loves photography and he is pretty good at it too.
Me, not so much, but this is one of the pictures that I did take on one of our favorite vacations several years ago.
The photo was taken a vineyard in Napa Valley, California. I thought he might enjoy a photo to remind him of that special time on his special day.
If you have the time...stop by his blog

And wish him Happy Birthday today...

I never did post a follow up about my grandson. I can now breath more comfortably again. He is fine. The storm that they predicted was downsized when it came ashore.
I have the feeling (considering where is base is) that he may have to get used to storms. They get a lot of them in the area where he is stationed. (Grandmom may not get used to it! Smile. I am a big worrier!

The card was supposed to be given to her by today. So I quick made this card and took the quick crooked picture. The card already left the house before I realized what a terrible picture I took. (most of my photos would NOT win a prize!)
I also added this photo to the Free Fall Challenge at Split Coast Stampers where the theme was baseball!

Kathi is cleaning out her craft room, and she brought a bunch of crafting supplies to my house. (It felt like Christmas again) (It's what I always ask for at Christmas...crafting supplies.) I know that I have plenty of stuff...but us crafters know that New stuff..(new stuff to us anyway) Always inspires me.
Some of what she gifted me with was some Martha Stewart punches.
I needed to make her a birthday card and I was stuck for an idea till I decided to try making a card with some of the punches she gave to me. She also gave me the dragonfly rubber stamp that I used on the card. This is one of the things that I love about making greeting cards...that you can personalize them. She seemed to think it was a great idea. I hope she liked it anyway.

Just didn't get them all posted yet. This was one of my favorites and, again, hubby did most of the work, He colored this beautiful image for me with copics and wink of stella pens. It is so beautiful in real life. The shimmer from the shimmery pens is awesome.
Hubby and I had a wonderful day today. We don't eat out that much anymore...due to $$$$
If we do it's usually breakfast, but today we went for a late lunch at a very nice restaurant. The food was awesome! I even had desert which is something I don't usually do when we eat out.
Then he surprised me by taking me to craft store. And yes, I shopped a bit. I try to avoid them more these days because I still have a lot of supplies on hand, and a very dear friend is cleaning out her craft room and gifted me with some wonderful craft supplies.
We came home and received a call from two dear friends who asked if we were going to be home.
We had a nice, long visit. It just made our day because is two friends that we really like and don't get to see too often.
We heard from our grandson. so far, the typhoon has not hit where he is...they expect it to hit about Saturday to Monday. Still on pins and needles with this...I'm hoping his base does every thing they can to keep all the soldiers safe.
Thank you for the kind Anniversary wishes and for the prayers for the safety of our grandson. They are much appreciated.

Our Anniversary is this week.. I was really stuck as to what I should make...when I remembered the papers that I had from Graphic 45.
Right now I am very scared because of the news we received earlier this evening. Our Grandson's military base is being evacuated because of a Hugh storm that is headed their way.
He sent a text telling the family that it was originally rated a category 5 storm...but I think it's been down grated a bit. Hopefully, a whole lot. They are expecting very high winds and flooding ... Please send some prayers/good thoughts our grandson's way. Thank you and Bless you...
Jill
