HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL

Hi Everyone

A special day .. .. .. and a very special weekend ahead in the House of Hearts.

Today is the birthday of our eldest Son.  Happy Birthday Paul!!

As he lives in London I won't be seeing him today :-( .. .. .. but he and his wife are coming home for a long weekend tomorrow and should land with us around tea-time  .. .. .. woo hoo!!!

It will be lovely to see them both again and have some tight squeezy hugs.  

Paul has been cycling to work for the last few months .. .. ..  though I am not sure which could be worse .. .. driving or cycling in London .. .. but he is happy to do both.  He wasn't quite so happy yesterday though because he got his first puncture!!




This used:

Image:  Teddy Bo "Cycling Bo"  (With a personalised T-Shirt LOL!!)
Sentiment:  Computer Generated using Font Claritty
Backing Papers:  Docrafts "Wellington"
Martha Stewart Punch:  Embossed Zig Zag
ProMarkers and Chalk
More of that gorgeous Button Twine I told you about yesterday from The Ribbon Girl
Buttons from my Stash Box

I have just been speaking with the birthday boy and he has opened his card so I am now safe to post it here without spoiling any surprises.

So lots of happy hours spent together are heading our way, but I will need to find them a bedroom (and bed) to sleep in.  The spare bedroom has become the wedding stationery and wedding supplies store room and photo taking area  .. .. but I can't clear any of that away until tomorrow.  Today it is get my head down and get on with wedding invitations and samples for two new "happy couples" I have met up with this week.

Finally, it would seem that quite a few people struggled with the heart yesterday.  Well to add insult to your injury there were actually four of them!!!!

I will leave you in torture a little longer and show you where they are tomorrow LOL!!!

Have a good day everyone.

Love

  23. Great fun card - perfect, given that your son now cycles to work. And I'm with you on the cycling in London thing - couldn't do it myself and wouldn't like to drive there either, it's bad enough traveling on the underground! Hope everything goes well with the search for a bed under all the wedding work but I'm sure you are going to have a wonderful weekend. Hugs, Elizabeth xx
