…Then I went to Brenda’ blog to find her directions on how she
Made her cute card…
Thank you Brenda...cute idea
This is the first card that I have made in over two months.
It’s been so long that I almost feel like a “newbie” with
both card making
And posting on my blog…
I’ve had several health issues to deal with these last
couple of weeks.
I won’t bore you with the particulars, But all has turned out quite well.
(Better than the doctors expected!)
I have really found out how wonderful and supportive the
blogging
Community is. Thanks
to all of you who had encouraged and supported
Me with the lovely cards and the of sending good thoughts and
prayers my way.
The Prayers worked!
Thank you so much…and it is so appreciated!
I was also kept busy these last couple of weeks helping my
granddaughter
To plan a “surprise” party for my daughter. The party did NOT turn out
To be a “surprise” though….I tried to warn my granddaughter
that my
Daughter is a difficult one to surprise…smile. But I think it all went well
Anyway.
Take my word for it. the fruit was delicious! My daughter is allergic to flowers, so I
thought a bouquet would work instead.
We did a "This is your Life!" party, and asked guests to bring some pics of my daughter
to share...
I shared one of my favorite pics. (Obviously taken a long time ago)
I was happy when my daughter remembered not only where the
photo was taken
But the day the photo was taken. Obviously, it was a happy day for her
too. We
Were standing outside a candy store, me holding my favorite
bag of candy which
Was probably chocolate and peanut butter, and my daughter is
eating licorice in the photo.
This was taken of her when she was a teenager, and it’s hard
for me to believe that
The teenager in this picture now is the mother of teenagers
herself.
Happy Birthday to my Sweet Daughter
