Anyway, on to my post. I was lucky enough to meet two great blogging sisters this past Saturday. I've been "talking" to Joy and Claudette for a while now and it was such a pleasure to finally meet them in person. They are both such sweet gals! Claudette made me this cute HK bag with some yummy goodies inside as a thank you for something I gave her a long time ago. You didn't have to do that, Claudette, but thank you! I also want to say THANK YOU to Joy for the "special" things I got from you too! You gals are too much ...
These next two cards were for some very special people. We celebrated my MIL's birthday this past Saturday night, along with my 25th wedding anniversary, my sister's birthday, and my parents' 58th wedding anniversary. Whew! Did I forget anything? Anyhoo, let me confess something first. I was making my sister's card, but wasn't able to finish it before the America concert. I told her it was coming but she told me never mind, the concert was enough. So I didn't finish it. THEN, I totally forgot to make an anniversary card for my hubby! OMG! I couldn't believe it! He didn't say anything about it, but I'm still planning on making a special one for him too. I'll post both cards when I'm done. I knew that for my MIL's card I wanted to use Geisha Anya and give the card an asian look. I'm very happy with the way it turned out. Happy Birthday Mom!
I used this cute Lily & Billy image that I got from Jodi for my parents' anniversary card. They celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary on August 4th, while they were in Las Vegas. I knew that I wanted to use a cute image like this for their card - they are still very healthy and young at heart! Love you Mom and Dad!
I have a few more special things to post, but I'll save that for the next time. Thanks for visiting everyone! Take care and aloha ...
