Birthdays!!!!!

It seems like I have been making birthday cards for the entire month of March. There are so many family birthdays in March and April that I don't think I have even put down my fast fuse the entire time. (other than having to go to the dreaded day job,hahaha!) The first one had to go to Saskatchewan for the 13th, followed by the 18th, two on the 20th, and then the 31st! April starts with the 3rd and two on the 7th! WOW! With that many cards to make, I turned to my best source of ideas, Pinterest. Thanks to all the fabulous designers who post their cards every day.

This past weekend we celebrated my oldest son's 22nd birthday and my youngest son's 4th birthday all together. It was a small affair with only my husband and I, and a whole bunch of young adults and a toddler! We had dinner at a pub that we used to go to in the days before our youngest was born. It was never an elegant place but the food was good and the prices were reasonable. Well in the last 5 years, unbeknownst to us, it has become a bit of a dive bar! My 4 year old got to see his first patron being removed from a pub at only 5 pm! Oh my! But the food is still good and the prices right. The boys favourite "cardiac burger" is still on the menu. Next time we should probably only take the older ones. LOL.

One of the birthdays this week is my Grandfather. He's turning 96!! WOW! This needed a pretty special card, and it needed to be in Ukrainian. I don't have any Ukrainian stamps so I printed the sentiments from my computer on to the cardstock before cutting and stamping it. My Mother liked it so much that she didn't want to give it away! I guess I will have ti make her another one to keep. I guess I should start searching for some Ukrainian birthday stamps. Hmm.... might have to be my next project. As if I have time for that, haha.
