Hello sweet friends ...
How are you?
I am on the mend ... I was able to cook our Christmas dinner and it was such a lovely day ...
I am taking things easy as I know I am not back to full health yet ... This is the second bout of flu I've had in as many months ... But it seems that in 2013 I qualify for the flu jab ... so here's hoping I wont catch it again for a while ...
Tomorrow is a special day ... my beautiful son reaches 30 ... I can hardly believe it ... seems only yesterday he was a little boy .. full of life and constantly on the go ... I've watched him change from a blond little bundle of energy ... to a tall dark handsome young man and every memory is etched on my heart ...
This is the card I made for him....
I stamped a Happy Birthday sentiment in Versamark and embossed it using clear embossing powder onto black paper ... backed it with paper from PaperMania ...
I rolled some little candles with some scrap paper and added string for the wicks ... The sentiment is computer generated and the bow I cut by hand ...
You know he loves his cats ... Gipsy and our new addition Ginger ... so I had to add these little guys to the inside
The weather here is so very dull and drab ... miserable is probably the right word ... I am so looking forward to Spring ...
Have yourselves a wonderful day ... Thanks so much for all your lovely comments
Till soon

Stunning card Ros, pretty and a "man" card all at the same time, - very clever! Glad you are feeling a bit better and I hope your son has a fab day tomorrow!!
Wonderful card for a young man...clever idea to roll the candles!! Hope to see you post a pic of your "new" kitty :>)
I'm so glad your on the mend! Being sick is terrible! My sweet daughter turned 30 in January and will be 31 already OMGosh it goes so fast!!!! I love the card, and he will too!! :-)
Do get better, you have had more than your fair share of flu.
Your sons card is fabulous.....love the candles one for each decade. The weather is dull here too. I like dull, but even I have had enough of dreary weather. See you in the spring.....I love that time of year."......perfection.

Oh, he'll love that card!! And the Gipsy and Ginger look-alikes are the perfect touch!
Happy Birthday to your son. He is going to love it. I am glad to hear you are on the mends. Take care my friend.

What a great card for your son....He'll love it. I know exactly how you feel, as my son turned 30 last year....where did all the years go? Did you know that you can get flu-jabs at any Pharmacy for £10, worth every penny. My lad is a Pharmacist, so he did mine this year ;-)
Hope you have a fab day celebrating, when you're feeling 100% xx
Happy Birthday wishes to Mike! Lovely, lovely card Ros and those 2 sweet kitties are a great touch!
Thank you for being such a lovely blogging friend and I wish you a wonderful, happy, healthy and very crafty New Year! :) xx
I love the way you did the candles! Such a brilliant idea :-)
Happy crafting!
