"It reminds us of a mojito!"
I agree :)
It's also Sarah's birthday today!
It's my BIL's birthday today also and my birthday
on Friday 8th too...happy days !!!
Been so busy with visitors last week. My SIL and BIL
& nephew and friend came to stay for a week.
We spent most it at various beaches along the coast.
A visit to a stately home and gardens (where I dropped
my camera) and lots of yummy meals out etc.
I hosted a big party for us all including our children
and grandchildren. We celebrated my nephew's birthday
too while he was here.
Lots of champagne consumed so not
weighing myself this week either !
We have more visitors arriving next weekend too.
I am hosting another party with my other SIL and BIL
and all our children and grandchildren yet again lol.
We also have my birthday to celebrate on Friday.
Then a wedding 'do' on Saturday and then this party
on Sunday so I may go missing again !
It has been lovely though, I have been spoiled already
too. Clothes, shoes, jewellery, craft stuff ! Then an
AMAZING surprise yesterday!!!
I managed to drop my small Panasonic Lumix camera
.......sob sob!
( I use it mainly when I go out as it fits in my pocket).
....I hope to get it mended.
Well yesterday my other trusty Fuji Finepix camera
(OH's old one) wasn't working either arghhh! I was
soooo frustrated, then my dear beloved said not to
worry and he could help.
He went out to the garage....what would help there I
thought??...a hammer?? anyway he quickly returned with
a large carrier bag. It said Happy Birthday on the front !
He said "This might help", inside was a top of the range
new camera (Nikon D3200) along with a tele photo lens!
Wow!!! I was so gobsmacked I wasn't able to speak
for a whole 30 seconds!
Which is a very LONG time for me believe me lol.
I had been wanting a newer camera for a while but didn't
want to spend money on one as I already have two serviceable
ones.
OH said he knew that and had researched which was the best one
for a while then bought it via our son so it would be a surprise
for my birthday.
He said he felt so sorry for me being without a camera
he couldn't let me wait any longer for my surprise.
Of course he spent twice as much as I
would have done.........but he said I was worth it.....
( I know I know...tears) how lovely is that!
He is definately a keeper :)
So I hope to aquaint myself with my new present in the coming
weeks.I do hope my photo's improve too :)
Thank you for reading all this if you managed to stay
with me until the end ! mwah xx

Hi Viv, what a lovely card, those hearts with the stitched effect make it look as if they are felt. The jute/burlap/hessian adds some great texture.

Happy birthday Viv, enjoy your new toy, but your photos are always amazing anyway, so there'll be no contest with you when you've got the hang of your new camera!
This card is AWESOME!
