Time gets away ...

I had intended to return and post about my birthday, but as usual, got sidetracked and it's taken me a week to get back here (besides playing last night and changing the design).

Well .... i had a lovely day ...

The day started with happy birthday hugs & kisses from my boys (DH & DS) and receiving my present (which is the first time in i don't know how long that it wasn't a present that i had arranged or given specific instruction for - cause i'm so fussy according to DH - and as much as i hate to admit it he just might be right LOL!).

When i unwrapped it i was a little suprised (and worried) to find a box from the jewellers .... suprised that i was getting a jewellry gift, suprised 'cause i didn't think they'd go out on a limb to choose jewellry for me' ..... worried at what might be in the box ?? LOL!! Don't get me wrong .... i don't want to sound ungrateful ... but ... you know what i mean??!

Anyway .... much to my absolute suprise and i think my response was "WOW" ... wow that i loved it and wow that they had such good taste to choose something that i like so much .... this is what was in the box ...



The pendant is an egyptian stone with a gold swirly casing around the outside (that about my best effort of describing it!! LOL!) .... anyway, i really love it !

Furthermore, i went out to lunch with DH, then out to tea with about 20 friends. I received lots of beautiful gifts .... chocolates, beautiful bath products, books, beads, Kikki K stationery, pewter & bling angel book mark/clip with matching key ring, scratchies, a large raffia urn pot thingy (from Mum & Dad) that i had been wanting, and a few other bits & pieces. I felt very spoilt.

Two weeks to go and there will be another birthday in our house ... Blake is turning 12!
Then two weeks after that is Mark's birthday ... he is turning ??? (better not share that one !! LOL!).

On the scrapping front i have been very busy but nohting i can share yet.

If you are looking for some scrapping fun, tommorrow night you can join us for this:
