Yay, it's my 43rd birthday today! I mean, boo, it's my 43rd birthday today!! So what does one do to celebrate one's birthday? Take a day's holiday from work of course! Well, I've done that, but I actually need to spend ALL day doing housework and gardening! We are hosting two lunch parties this weekend - my in-law's 40th wedding anniversary and my mum's 70th birthday - so it's go, go, go to get things ready!!! Hey ho, at least the lovely hubster will take me out to my all time fave restaurant The Griffin Inn in Fletching tonight - the food is superb and the wine waiter is cute (and far too young for me, but a gal can look, right?!).
Anyhoo, enough waffle - here is a birthday card I made for someone else! I used some more fave goodies over at Quixotic Paperie...
Isn't this cutie fun?! And such a dream to colour in! This is Jester Bear by Rick St Dennis - one of the newer lines Quixotic Paperie is now stocking! You can either buy him for just £3.45 or the whole first Bears #1 collection of 6 images for £17.99 (that's £3 each!). I used that fun paper from the My Minds Eye Lime Twist Out of the Blue paper pad - just to add to the fun!
That's it from me for now - please join me later for the new Take the Pixie Dust challenge!
Happy birthday to you.........Happy Birthday to you........ Happy Birthday dear Mary....Happy Birthday to you!!!

Happy Birthday! You are the same age as me and don't we look damn good! Hope you still have a good day but at least being off work is stil a break.
