Hey, everyone! I want to thank you all for the sweet birthday wishes for me - and for the anniversary wishes for Wendy and her hubby. It was a great day! The project we're sharing with you today was made by Becca, and she had this to say about it:
"I made this birthday card for Monique. I've always wanted to do something with this cart. All of those birds are just so cute! I really enjoyed using the "Glossy Accents" to make the shiny dots on the background and on the bird's eye. What a neat product! I can't wait to use it more. Hope yall are havin' a great day so far."
Don't forget to leave a comment for Becca to be entered for this week's blog candy - a custom layout that I will design just for you in your choice of theme!

In other news, my birthday was soooo superly duperly awesome! I got to sleep in til 10am (heaven!!), then out to lunch with mom, Lucy and Becca at Mimi's. We came home and got ready for a party with 55 people. Steph met us here to help get everything organized. It was our Team Monique dinner since the Race for the Cure is only a few days away, but it kinda turned into a birthday party. What a way to celebrate!
It was SOOOOOOO much stinkin' fun to have everyone here, and they even surprised me with a few gifts. My sweet husband got me an iphone, for crying out loud!!!! Please help welcome me into this century. Wendy and Stephanie went in on a gift certificate toward my pink ribbon butterfly tattoo, Lisa Kirk got me a beautiful salad bowl, Brenda got me a Vera Bradley gift cert, and Paul & Becca got me an Old Navy gift card. Plus - get this - remember the Tim Holtz item we had at the silent auction? Tim made it himself, signed it and donated it. It went for a hefty sum, but it was all just a sneaky plot by a bunch of my scrappin' friends to give it to ME for my birthday!!!!! Can you even believe that????? Oh my goodness, I am not kidding you - I have the best friends and family that a person could ever ever have! This has been the BEST birthday of my life!!!!! I'm gonna share a few pics of the party just because it was such a blast...
