two birthday girls.............

it has been a while since i blogged...................not sure where the time goes........but another birthday has been and gone 2 in fact but the first it was a biggy .......18.......and the lovely girl had a great day, it is so hard to believe that i now have an adult child, a strange feeling..........
we are so very proud of her and the amazing young woman she has grown into ................

for her birthday she went to new york to stay with our friend (thanks josh for looking after her.....i can't wait to visit myself)........... i made her a 'i heart NY' bag for the occasion, which was greatly loved........

i love the other side of the bag which i embroided the big apple, it gives me a great idea for a new bag design.............

and of course no birthday would be complete in our house without a homemade cake.....

and yes the icing was quite perfect this time..............

myself i had the most perfect birthday.......i am 1 year off being 40 yikes

the weather was so beautiful and i had lovely gifts and a lovely meal, i forgot to take any pics.......

only this one of my birthday dress.........it is so yellow and flowery a combination that you cannot go wrong with........
