Happy Birthday Friend

Hello there ...
Today 11/11/11 is of course Armistice Day ...
My thoughts are with all those people who have lost loved ones ... be them military or civilian 


Today is also my friend's birthday and paid her a visit ...
This is the card I made for her


It's a very dark and dull day here so I am struggling with photographs ... 


Those lovely images are from the Graphic Fairy 
and of course I had to give her a little handmade something with her gift so I made her a little sticky note holder



... and a little mini album made from one piece of 12x12 scrapbook paper ... for her to decorate and add pictures of her grandchildren ...


as you can see there are 3 pockets with tags in too ...


If you click to enlarge you can see the little charm on the notebook ... a sweet little bird and birdcage ... Can you believe this was an earring? 
My friend was thrilled with her gifts and it was good to catch up ...

I would also like to say a big Thank You to sweet generous Cindy Adkins not only for this lovely Blog Award


But for picking me as a winner in her give away ... I can hardly wait to receive the beautiful book she created ... Many Thanks Cindy

I hope you are having a lovely day ...

Till soon keep safe
