So Jezzie came in all frantic. "Mommy, I need a birthday card, RIGHT NOW!" "Okay, for who?" "Well, for YOU, Mommy, who else?" "Ummm, doesn't Daddy usually take care of that for you and Goliath?" "Well yes, Mommy, but last year he bought a card that had DOGS on it. He thought they were cats but they were really DOGS!!!!" "Good point." "Now Mommy, I will tell you just what I want. It must have pink and remember, I must be white, sparkly AND fluffy and have a crown and a scepter and..." (Not too demanding, is she?) "Okay Jezzie, but aren't birthday cards supposed to be a surprise?" "Oh it can still be a surprise, Mommy. Just keep your eyes closed while you make it." I'm afraid it sort of looks like that was the case, but she was very happy. The stamp is one of the Party Hats Cats by Lost Coast Designs and I used my glue pen to add Sparkle and Fluff. The beautiful frame is the Decorative Oval Window Die from Heartfelt Creations. I have no idea where the Crown, Princess, and Wand came from. They were a set.
Her message cracked me right up. Obviously she was a bit miffed with my "Queen of Everything" hanging. LOL So off we go for a couple more days at Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur. (See pix of last trip HERE) Thank God the road (that fell into the ocean after the rains) was reopened so we don't have to drive all the way down to Paso Robles and back up making what is normally a 2 1/2 hour drive more like 6. However, now Highway One from the South is closed now due to a landslide. YIKES! We're falling apart here in CA.
such a cute card...
ReplyDeleteSounds like she's got your back and wants you to have the perfect card even if you have to make it yourself!! It's really gorgeous! And Happy Birthday :D
ReplyDeleteBTW I used to live in SLO and Morro Bay (and had a boyfriend up on Atascadero lol). I never felt comfortable on route 1 lol
Happy Birthday, from your post it sounds like you've been dipping into the wine an early celebration! LOL! Of course, a queen can really do anything she wants...
ReplyDeleteJezebel has a great sense of humor, and such talent...OH MY!
Happy B-day. You'll have to share that story with her when she gets older. I love your card.

ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a wonderful time.
Well Happy Birthday First and LOL, Oh My, I had to laugh when I saw this because I left a comment on the challenge post before I seen this card and I said I bet your Kitty knew she was the Queen and just gave you one day, lol!
