Reasons to smile #4

Today, I have a very good reason to smile… along with someone else…

Congratulations on your 70st birthday mom!!!!!!

Yep, you read it well. My mom is turning 70 years young today!
Go send her some love on her website!

(for non Dutchies: Click the button ‘Johanna’ in the top menu – find
‘Gastenboek’ (guestbook) in the menu – fill in the captcha numbers
to get in the guestbook and leave a message!)

Ofcourse I made her something.
Or better: two things, but I only show you the card.
She (and you) will have to wait some more for her present.

(Mam, als de post nog niet geweest is, wil je misschien nog even wachten
en niet meteen doorklikken?)

Spoiled rotten!

Thank you for all your birthday wishes dear friends and readers!
I had a relaxed, easy going day with my two men last Saturday,
and I was spoiled rotten! Look what my sweetie bought me!

..

Aaaah – a video camera!!!! (or is it called “cad cam?”)

Whenever I wanted to make a video-tutorial for my online workshops,
I had to borrow the camera from my neighbour.
It became quite annoying, for her as well as for me, but now I have my own!
I don’t know how to use it yet – my beloved knows ’cause we spend
the weekend making movies for the upcoming workshop – so I was
in front of the camera showing techniques…

And my dear son is a genius in picking presents – he bought me this!

..

He never asked what I wanted
for my birthday – he just
dived into the bookstore and
from all the books that are
for sale there, he picks THIS
from the shelves!!!!

HOW COOL!

And how WELL he
knows his mom!!!!

..

And yes, don’t worry,
there is some creativeness
in this blogpost too!
I finally have something
to show you.

We’re still wild at heart

HAPPY (NON)BIRTHDAY MICHELLE!!!

Oh-my-oh-dear….

I really thought today was  my friend’s (and co-teacher in the new workshop!)
birthday… but I learned yesterday that I had the date all wrong.
It was August 21 – Bummer!
I planned this birthday post to show you the card I made for her birthday,
and send you all over to Michelle’s blog to cheer… and now I’m too late 🙁

But HA… I know it’s her HUBBY’S birthday today, so there’s still celebration
going on in the LaPoint-Rydell house… YEAY!
So hop on over to Michelle anyway and send some extra love for Michael!

Happy birthday Michael!

And to the both of you… we may get older but we are still “wild at heart!”

Stuff that dreams are made on
(Freewheelin’ Friday #34)

A lot of you filled out my little poll in the right side menu already,
THANKS!!! (If you don’t know what it’s about, please read my
former post
and fill out this poll! Your opinion is highly appreciated!!!)

I’m so glad I asked for your opinion! It’s getting clear now that I should
do something about the colour of the type I’m using for my posts so
chances are that this will be the last post in the “light grey type”…
I’ll decide on a new colour after the weekend.

..

On to the good stuff…
