Surprise!!!

Well, we managed to pull it off...we threw a successful surprise Birthday party for my aunt! On Saturday afternoon friends and family gathered to celebrate Audrey's big five-oh...and it went very well. I didn't think we'd be able to surprise her, but we managed!

Here she is coming in to the room and finding it full of people she definitely hadn't expected!




And of course we had some yummy snacks and a delicious tuxedo cake (Mmmm...anybody else love the tuxedo cake?)




It was a great opportunity to visit with wonderful people - some of whom I hadn't seen for quite some time (like my cousin Layne and his girlfriend Tanya - who came despite having just broken her tib & fib just a few days before - what a trooper!)







Now I've got another party on Saturday for my friend Jenna and her lovely daughter, Sam and that should be it for parties this month! :)

I had the chance to make a card for a friend's shower gift yesterday...I love the butterfly embosslit from Stampin' Up - so gorgeous!


Hope your week is off to a fantastic start!

PS...I've started a new crochet project (Mary Jane style slippers)...can't wait to show them off (even if they are not quite perfect!)
