Birthday!

There never seem to be enough birthday cards - but I'm not complaining! I love making them - and this one was very fun! It's another "inspired by" card - this time it was Danielle Taebel from my CTMH unit. Did I tell you what my unit sisters did for me? Since I was on my honeymoon when they met last time, they plotted to fill up the new catalog swap so I couldn't participate and instead, they all made one extra card and gave me the entire swap! I was so surprised - and thrilled! Their cards are simply awesome - I'll try to photograph their versions and post them (should have done that already, really - my oops!).

Open Stamping was a load of fun! We had a lot of people and got some things done . . . even stamping! Mr. Bilbo Baggins (a.k.a. Babycakes or Kitty) entertained everyone with his party trick (he likes to play fetch). He loves the scrapbookers (lots of pieces of paper to steal). . . and is even learning to not be so skittish around them.

Today was back to work for me but it was a busy day so the time literally flew by! Steve and I had dinner out at one of my favorite places tonight and now we're settling in for the night.

I'm making a request for prayers - a loved one is having major surgery on Wednesday. Please keep Melissa and her healthcare team in your thoughts.

Hugs!

Will be thinking good thoughts for your family member.

What a great birthday card. I, too, love the rosette. The papers are so pretty.

What a sweet group of girls you have there to do the swap in your honor.

And, yay, for your kitty! Sounds like he is definitely coming around. *Ü*

Great job on your card! Love the colors and that fun pleated accent.

What sweet and thoughtful 'sisters' you have to do that for you! Glad Mr. Bilbo is enjoying an audience. ;)

Didn't see this post in time to pray, but hoping all went well with Michelle's surgery yesterday.

hugs,
