Jan2015 Divas vs Darlings: Birthfdays



Hello Hello ~

After taking the month of December off, the Divas and Darlings are back for another year of challenges. Our Diva Hostess this month Judy (and her co-hostess of the month - Debbie) have chosen a Birthday theme.

Judy sent many images for us to play with, but I was in a coloring mood, so I picked out this image from Art Impressions to use for my card. Here is the inside of it:


I do have a recent Birthday memory to share ~ for my 40th Birthday my family threw me a "surprise" Birthday party at a local restaurant in town. It was a great evening as many friends and family came to help celebrate (Actually I could tell something was up when I went to my sisters for awhile, and she changed three times ~ ha). Anyway, as things would have it, 4 months later I moved in next door to the place where I had my 40th Birthday Party :) The owners of the restaurant also own the house next door and I'm their quiet happy tenant :) How often does that happen? LOL. Ok so there's my story. :) and yes I do frequent the place quite often ..... hard not to..... :) 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Hugs ~ LJ
