Hello Crafty Friends!! I am so excited because today is my Birthday!
Yippee!! Last year when I turned 40, I faced it head on and now that I am turning another year older I have decided to start it off with a smile!
This past year I have some how managed to cram in all the things on my to do lists, family, crafts, running, working and everything in between. There were many times that I struggled but always managed to find my way. This will be my 5th year celebrating my birthday with my blogging friends, Thank you for all your support, comments, emails, texts and phone calls. I can't imagine my life any other way. And thank you for the support of my Skittles! I hope everyone has been enjoying the new colors and releases!
Thanks for sharing the today with me!
Most of you know that My Step-Dad and I share the same Birthday, he is the BBQ King! He makes me the best BBQ baby back ribs ever! And he will make them anytime I ask him to, I'm so spoiled! So this year I thought it would be fun to get him a Mounted light for his BBQ and a very cool BBQ mitt. And a handmade Happy Birthday Card to go along with it:
Barbeque Grill from Block Party Cricut Cartridge
Gingham Paper from Scrap Pile
Gingham Ribbon
Little sticky hot dog embellishments
Tag
Hemp, button, liquid Pearls, stickles, gem
Happy Birthday Stamp from Docerela
Spots color Skittle from DoubleClick

ReplyDeleteHi Carri, thanks for your visit to my blog, and I finally had a chance to zip over to visit you & I joined as follower! You already have so many, you won't even notice one more! Loved your BBQ card, and how preciously unique for your sweet Dad. He will appreciate all the 'just for him' details you have on this cute card and the specific to his 'love' birthday gifts. Happy Belated Birthday to you as well. You're just a youngster! But I hope your day was filled with fun, laughter & happiness and spent with those whom you love best of all. TFS & Hugs

ReplyDeleteDon't include me in the generous candy offer, hon, I have too many goodies as it is. I'd rather it go to someone who could really use it. All the best!! Darnell
