Happy Friday to all!
I have just a quick post for you today as it's a busy one
for me. Tonight is our night to watch my two oldest
grandsons and Paul is home as well.
We are taking CJ and Caleb out to celebrate
CJ's report card...can I just brag?
He has been declared
top of his 2nd grade class
and also received
'excellent' on all behavioral levels in class.
His choice for dinner.....''the mall where Papa works"
He went on to explain that as he likes Japanese food, we
would all get to choose a 'type' of food
we like in the food court!
The dinosaur exhibit is also there and he is a huge fan
so we'll spend some time there and I am sure both
boys will be able to talk us in to a trip to 'Papa's store'.
Barnes & Noble is there favorite place to make
a stop because they both love to read.
Anyway......
My PDCC teammate Fiona suggested a challenge
for me that I was unfamiliar with. This one is from
her homeland of Australia and I was thrilled to
have an opportunity to participate for this
special occasion.
Inkurable Stampers is having a
My British husband has made it pretty clear that
the celebration of 'golden birthdays' is a very
American thing....so I was surprised to see it
celebrated in Australia, but apparently, it's new
to them as well!
A birthday card which includes the use of
gold made me reach immediately for these
wonderful EK Success 3-D stickers.
The gold glittered center of this cake is perfect!
I also embossed the bottom of this beautiful gold
shimmer paper with a sweet heart from Sizzix.
No cake is complete without a little icing, so I
used some of my favorite trim in white and pink
and added pearls at the top.
Quick reminder....you have until
midnight CST tonight to leave a comment on
my post here to have a chance to win some
pretty great blog candy.
I'd love to know you stopped by today, so I
hope you'll take a moment to say hello by
leaving a comment...I appreciate all of your notes!

Julie, As a new grandmother myself, I am already finding it a thrill to celebrate my 1 and 1/2 month old grandson's little accomplishments. First smile for grannie for instance! Congrats to CJ for his excellent marks. Brag all you want, I'll take lessons! Tina P.S. I work for a bookstore also, although an independant. Love my job.
