I'm playing catch up this week as two 12 hour shifts on Sunday and Monday knocked me out of my stride. I usually write my blog on Sunday evening or Monday morning/afternoon but obviously being at that horrid work place put paid that and despite my best laid plans to write a midweek blog instead, it just never happened.
The Birthday Girl was very happy and very spoiled. She had two birthday cakes and two lots of fuss. Not sure she really knew what was going on but she made the most of it!
This weekend we celebrated my niece's wedding. The girls certainly had a good time (and those who are friends with me on Facebook will have seen the video of Caoimhe singing) It goes without saying that the bride looked lovely. And of course I wish her and her new husband every happiness for the future. I obviously made her card, but after planning carefully what iI was going to do I realised that my embossing folders were at my mum's, and the congratulations stamp iI Iwas going to use was still in the shop. I'd bought another greeting stamp set instead which had a nicer baby greeting on it. No use remembering that at 9pm two days before the wedding though! But I did have another lovely stamp to use which, in hindsight, I was happier with anyway. I hope they like it!
Don't forget to head over to Hamdmade Harbour for Handmade Monday. I'm hoping to get round more of the blogs this week as I was unable to get to many last week unfortunately.
Til next time!

Two birthday cakes sounds like a good idea. Perhaps we should all adopt it! It sounds like you've had a really busy week - put your feet up & enjoy Handmade Monday!
