It's a special day today. The lovely Bev from Uniko is celebrating her birthday!!
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday dear Bev
Happy Birthday to You!!!
To help her celebrate her special day the Uniko Design Team have gt together and we're having a Surprise Birthday Blog Hop ..... whoo hoo!!
Happy Birthday hun ....... hope it's a good one!
I'm not sure how Bev is feeling about turning 40 (I know I wasn't happy when it was me!!) so I thought I'd keep my design CAS, and make the number a little understated ......
Inlaid into the stamped image ......
Gold shimmer ink to stamp with, coloured using ZIG Markers, and a few little crystal drops to finish
I know Bev has received this, because I gave it to her at the weekend when I saw her at Port Sunlight.
If you would like to join in and wish Bev a Happy Birthday ..... just design a card and add it to the linky on the Birthday Blog post on the Uniko Blog ...... she'll love it!
Speaking of Port Sunlight we had a great day on Saturday. The weather was fab, the ferry crossing was perfectly calm (both ways) and the shopping was fun. I even came back with money in my purse which was a bonus!
It was so nice to see everyone, it's just a shame we don't get more time.
Thanks for popping by .... enjoy the rest of your day.
I'm off to the craft room now. It's a short week for me this week, so I need to get move on!
Hubby and I are having a few days away ....... we're on the boat again on Thursday and then we're off up to Scotland I think. Let's hope this nice weather holds.
Speaking of the weather, did I mention that hubby had bought himself a little present? He's bought himself a telescope.
It's a bit bigger than I imagined ..... my hubby never does anything by half!!!
Anyway, as you can see it's all set up ...... well almost. Apparently, you have to align it using the stars so that the telescope knows where it is, you can then tell it what you want to look at, and it will move around to view different parts of the sky ...... makes sense, I suppose! Well ...... since it arrived we haven't had a clear night ..... and the thing's just been sat in the lounge. That was until Saturday.
The Isle of Man is known for it's dark skies and where we are there's not much in the way of street lights etc., it's all countryside around us so, on a clear night the sky is full of stars. When I got home around 10ish the house was deserted. I eventually found him, on the patio, with the telescope, looking at the moon! Bless him .... my little stargazer!
Cheerio until next time .....
