A Birthday Book

 

Today I spent hours working on a Birthday Book for my "Boss".

 She turns 60 next week and rather than just make a big card for everyone to sign I ended up with this.....I think you'll guess what her favourite colour is:-)

*

She's definitely not a "girly girl" so I had to step away from the flowers for a change lol.

*

*
I included quotes in amongst the pages..........I hope they inspire her:)

*

*

...lots of pages for people to write their special birthday messages on.....

*

I'll be back in a day or so with a MHC layout and card.

Leibster Award

I was so delighted today to receive a Leibster Award from the amazingly inspirational Linda Eggleton - her work never ceases to amaze me and to think that I could in some way inspire her made me smile today :)

The Leibster Award was designed to be a blog award in the pay it forward fashion. It is awarded to blogs that have fewer than 200 followers to encourage new visitors to them. Once you have been nominated, you award it to five other blogs.

The rules are: post the award on your blog, give the award to 5 bloggers who you appreciate that have fewer than 200 followers then leave a comment on their blogs to let them know you have given them this award.

  

There are so many amazing women who inspire me but I would love to acknowledge the great work of these five lovelies ....

Joanne Bain

Angela Muir

Alicia Barry

Gwen Wruck

Sue Kohler

I hope you'll visit the blogs of these fab ladies and enjoy being inspired by their great work -

as I so often do.

Happy Friday all...

see you tomorrow with some MHC creativity.

xLinda
