The Limelight has faded...

...another birthday come and gone. It was a very good one though. Forty-four (44) isn't so bad -- yet. But then again, it's only been a day.
I received lots-o-goodies from my friends and family. Everyone should feel special on their birthday. I know I surely did!
This is the first card I received. It's from my mom (and dad. She made it.).
It reminds me of the purple shag carpet in my bedroom (1976-1983). I got to pick the carpet & color. I used to LOVE purple. I still LIKE it a lot -- I just love GREEN more now. I love this image. It's from Summer By the Sea. She used clear EP (embossing powder) so it's shiny IRL.
She's doing very well in her cardmaking I think. It only took us (sister & I) about 5 years to convince her that she could do this. She always admired the cards we made, but thought it was too hard. We showed her the easy stuff. She's taken off since then. Guess that can happen when you're retired!
Can you tell who this is from? Yeppers. From Brian. He's getting better too. It looks like red hearts and flower, but they are really Rose Red. Pink
& green are two of my favorite colors together. I don't know if it was by accident or if he remembers me saying it. I love it anyway. He even used a rub-on and stamps on the inside. I won't gag you with the mushy stuff. It's very sweet though...just like him! He's definitely a keeper. I would never find another man that would love me like he does. God put us together for sure. I always tell him, "I don't know what you did bad enough to deserve me, and I surely don't know what I did good enough to deserve you!" And that's the truth!

This card is from my mother/daughter frien
ds. They are in my monthly stamping group. The mother is also a co-worker of mine. We have lots-o-fun at our stampin' get-togethers. I enjoy sharing my love of stamping with them. And they teach me things too. I love the colors of the patterned paper. Very summery and fun! Thanks gals!

not least is the card from my sister. Did I mention she owns a scrapbooking store? Remember When Scrapbooking? (Ok, biased plug for her store. She can pay me later...heeheehee.) This one had 4 gift cards to my some of my favorite restaurants (in the holder on the front). That's a very clever card! She said the gift card holder came premade from My Mind's Eye (paper company). I haven't noticed them before. I'll have to go look tomorrow night.

I need to post separately for one of my gifts. I hope I can get it right. More to come....
