birthday fun ...

when someone i love has a birthday ... it makes me happy! I love trying to make their day super special ... maybe its something my mother has passed on to me, she always made an effort to make our day special - we could choose our favourite dinner and desert - mine was usually roast chicken and chocolate pudding. and we would often get a specially made birthday cake (usually in a theme - i had a piano one year! cool!) so this year em is getting a pink poodle cake ... i will post photos later this week! She requested lasanga and chocolate mousse ... it was yum!

We were away for her birthday, it was a long weekend here ... and we went to a beautiful resort. they have this amazing pool there which is salt water and it has real live fish in it ... so you swim around, snorkling like you would out in the ocean ... its really really cool!

the craftonline design team for this month is up, i did that cute crown frame ... you can see it all here. the clear albums are so cool ... and very addictive!

I also FINALLY finished this project which i started about 2 years ago (maybe longer ... so bad) its one of those things i put aside and never got back to ... well after cleaning up my scrapbook desk, i decided to finish off all these little projects. it is really cute, and i like how we all had input into our standards and our goals for our family!


i have banana bread cooking ... the smell is filling the whole house and making me hungry ... time it eat i think!

love making birthdays super special for my kids too...sounds like our moms did alot of the same kids - which i think is exactly why i make a big deal too...although now that i have two with the same birthday it might get a little tricky making it all about each of them and them together....
also the resort sounds awesome!!
