I think one of my favorite posts is when I posted the events on Cherie's birthday back in 2014. I know that many of you who follow my blog have already read this post.

It's all about the restaurant we went to that I misnamed as the Squirrel something place?
Yes, I still have NOT lived that down. Cherie (my weekly crafting buddy and friend for over 25+ years had made sure I don't forget by sending an almost weekly pic of a squirrel via Pinterest!
Well, I wanted the fun to continue this year.
This is the present that I gave her for her birthday this year
Notice he is holding a pack of beads...smile
These were the party favors. I used them for Nut cups. I found the squirrels on Martha Stewart...doing a search for free printables.
The above pic is one of the pics I took at the Bed and Breakfast Jim and I stayed at on his birthday. We were there for only ONE day! (which wasn't enough time...needless to say) The place was awesome. This was one of our favorite views. I sat on the porch at this place for two hours looking at this view while I was doing my crafting. I could have sat there for a whole day!
The potted plant was one of the first things I saw when I walked into our room at the Bed and Breakfast. I just couldn't resist! I had to put that squirrel on top of the tree.
If you didn't read the post from 2014...Cherie had a squirrel come into her house and plant itself up on top of her potted plant. They had to take the squirrel still sitting on top of her
tree outside to get rid of it.
Well, as you can see...It ended up being her Birthday card for this year. I thought that this card would put a smile on her face. What I didn't expect, is when she opened the card she laughed so hard that she had tears running down her face, and literally couldn't stop laughing. I guess she liked the card! smile!!! Boy, am I ever going to be in trouble on my birthday! I'm sure she will find a way to get back at me!
This is the card that I made for my Jim for his birthday. I wanted to make a card that would represent our stay at the Bed and Breakfast.
It made my day, to know that it made Weekly favorite this week.
Remember, men need laughter sometimes more than food.

Funny story about Cherie and her squirrel, and such a hilarious card to meet the occasion! I too would have sat for hours taking in that gorgeous view! It's just dreamy!! Jim's birthday card is awesome too - I love the farm scene with the sun coming up!
ReplyDeleteWhere is the B&B Jill? That photo looks so much like Lancaster County (where I live)! I love the celebrate card, the farm scene is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI LIVE in Ephrata, so not too far lol! What's the name of it, I think I need to stay there!
ReplyDeleteOh what a fun time you and Claire are having over the squirrel story - I do love her card, and I am glad it gave her so much joy!!
ReplyDeleteJim's card is a stunner too, and deserved the recognition it got over at SCS.

ReplyDeleteI am REALLY late commenting on this, but I'm so glad I scrolled down and saw it, Jill! It was very entertaining! That B&B looks like Paradise! I hope you and Jim can get back there every year. And the whole squirrel thing with Cheri is just a total hoot! I think the nut cups are fantastic and, boy, wouldn't that fluffy squirrel get along with Hammy?! Too fun! Can't wait to see what she does on your birthday!! Love and hugs, Darnell
