Another Year Older ...

Yep .. yesterday (11th February) i celebrated another birthday!

You guessed it ... i was 21 again !!!

Had a lovely day & evening ... although it's pretty much like another day except all the lovely presents i received.
I'd dropped a few hints that i'd like Terri Irwin's book to be thrown in with my birthday presents this year ... I've had lunch and dinner out for the past 3 days and been very spoilt ...



but very special was this very cute little "Funky Cow Beanie Kid Bear" specially thoughtout and chosen by my little man ... just priceless!!

On a different note, my mum & dad set off tommorrow for their 12 month holiday ... yep, 12 whole months travelling NT, WA, SA & VIC ... sooo ...
'cause i know that they'll miss the grandkids like crazy (and us too but especially the grandkids) i have been very busy working on this 'little box of grandkids' to take with them on their travels ...

You may recall a few posts ago i mentioned our afternoon in Newcastle at the Beach taking pics of the kids ... this was for this special little project!

(warning: long picture post ahead)


This is the inside cover of the box ... the biege imprint behind my journalling/poem is actually Blake's handprint.



This is the front page of the album (photo a little blurry/reflective through the transparancy) ... the kids drew in the sand "we {heart} nan & pop"










My mum just loved it and i'm sure it will put a smile on her face to open this litte box whenever she is missing the kids !!

Enjoy the rest of your week ... keep smiling :O)
