ScrapMart: Happy Belated Birthday

Last week was my husband's 50th birthday!! What do you get someone who has everything?! Well, how about a house full of in-laws?! LOL!!

My sister-in-law and friend were in town - their kids attend summer school and camp at Northwestern University. They rented a car for the day so they came to visit. LOVE to spend time with family :0)

So happy belated birthday, honey...just what you wanted a house full of yappy and happy people! HA!


The cake we got him was from a Japanese bakery (Mont Blanc) in Arlington Hts, IL. If you are in the area, you have to taste their cakes and they also sell by the slice = YUM~!


For him, I created this card....

Oh, I'd love to have a houseful to celebrate my birthday! Makes you feel special. Even if you'd prefer quiet. :) I will check out Scrapmart. I've shopped from them at the conventions before and they were great. Love your card!
