Happy birthday Lyall.

Yesterday my husband celebrated his birthday. Older yes, wiser, not sure about that :-) Being as ancient as he is, he had help opening his presents - or really just help making a mess with all the wrapping paper!

I even made his a cheescake for a birthday cake, and it was sweet, sickly but ever so yum! However it will be his workmates that benefit from the rest of it, we won't get through it and it really will need to be eaten tomorrow.

Today it my twinnies birthday - I hear she's having a great day, has been spoilt and has put her feet up, which really is how every birthday should be!

Over at Scrappin Patch we were asked to scraplift our favourite designer. One of my all time favourite designers is the extremely talented Tomoko Takahashi

Now my work is nowhere near as amazing as hers, but I had fun with all the layering, and wish I could get the fabulous details that she incorporates into her art, but I'm not that clever :-) I hope I've done Tomoko's work justice.



With a bit of rain this last week, the concrete has not been poured for Donna's house, so no more news on where we are at with that. I'm glad it's holiday time for a couple of weeks, I've got heaps I want to get done, so will be working my way through a list. Other than that, not much news here lol.

Enjoy your week people.

Belated Happy Birthday Lyall. Yum at cheesecake for birthday celebrations. Beautiful layout. I hope your working your way through your list and have enjoyed your holiday thus far. The rain is being a pain, in terms of the concrete being poured.
