Birthday Card

Hello Again.   I really wanted to show this card yesterday,  but I'm afraid things went a bit astray after we received a phone call from the hospital to once again cancel Andrews knee operation.   No beds,  due to weather conditions this time,  17 operations were cancelled and no lists made up for the next two weeks.   But glad to say we feel better this morning and now we can look forward to the wedding on the 31st. 
My card was made for my dear friend Jan who is having her birthday on Saturday.  It is an 8 X 8 card that is specially for a good friend and I love the verse.  I decoupaged it , but its hardly noticeable,  I have had this print for quite some time,  but I think it was from Craftsuprint.    Jan is doing ok,  but still got some pain,  so she is still on morphine morning and night at a reduced level.   We are going out on Friday for lunch and then to bingo in the evening ( Jan likes her Bingo ). It bores me ,  but she wanted to go,  so I said yes.     Went for the papers this morning and the side roads were still fairly slippy,  but the sun is shining so I'll not complain.  Take Care everyone.     Hugs Rita xxxx

What a beautiful verse Rita and a gorgeous card for your friend. Sorry to hear that poor Andrew has had his operation cancelled yet again, but I guess at least he now knows that it won't impede him at the upcoming wedding. Hope things go well.

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear you had yet another postponement, but at least it left you in the clear to enjoy the wedding. I hope it all went wonderfully yesterday, and that you had a nice long lie-in to recover this morning! Or was it all morning-after family breakfasts etc?!

Such a pretty card - the colours are just lovely - and My Fair Lady is exquisite. No surprises she was an award nominee!!
