a Happy Day !!

My niece (and god-daughter) Stephanie turns 10 today!
what a wonderful day!
10!!! double digits!! Wow...cant believe how fast the years have gone..

I made this card for her special day! Its actually an A4 size so a jumbo sized card...I might add some ribbon so she can hang it up in her room.

Whilst crafting the other night, we had 'Babel' on DVD...oh my! I cried and cried some more...what a depressing movie! cant stop thinking about it...

Anyway here is a pic of me with baby Stephanie on her christening day...almost 10years ago!!!
what a sweet baby she was! I was so excited to be an auntie for the first time!
...here she was leaning back trying to see the church's ornate ceiling! I almost dropped her!!

Hello Anastasia, i found a comment left at the Mike's blog, so greetings from Darwin. Not ALL the action is going on in Melbourne, there is a tiny crafty movement up here too. Congratulations on your 10th anniversary of being an auntie. I have 19 nieces & nephews, all in NSW, i love them all dearly. We have 4 children, so it's a huge gathering when we all get together. Nieces & nephews are the best, as you can be the cool auntie & they tell you things they wouldn't tell their parents/ your siblings. I've been an auntie since i was 16, so half my life now. Gorgeous card, you are very clever & as the mother of an 8y.o. you nailed that age!! Love Posie

Gorgeous card, I'm sure she loved it :) :) Thank you so much for the darling comments on my blog, it's been hard to post with all this going on, so it's extra wonderful to know I can always find my dear blogging friends to come back to now that I'm ready again. *hugs*

Happy Birthday to Stephanie! I can't believe how fast time does fly - it seems just months ago that I met my then-boyfriend, moved in here with my then-fiancé, and am now a married woman (that sounds a bit funny, it's all the same man!). Lovely card, she'll love it!

Happy Bday to Stephanie, and what a cool card!

I'm still looking for my computer cord for my camera, so I haven't put our swap stuff up yet, but I did finish off the Cadbury's today. If we ever swap again, I so want those in my mailing again. I loved them! Thanks again!
