birthday fun and antiquing... These trees are so fun, and very sparkly. Here's a little banner I got whilst antiquing on Friday. Happy Belated Birthday! I love the silver cup...I love just anything that is silver or monogrammed...and especially if it is both. :o)

Posted by: Sher's Creative Expressions | December 10, 2007 at 09:23 PM Your blog is so beautiful! Thanks for all the inspiring pictures. I love your style & wish I was more organized like you. My husband would be so happy but I'm a little too random I guess.

Posted by: Katy | December 11, 2007 at 05:44 AM Happy Birthday! It sounds like you had a very nice one! I love all your new touches, the banner is very cute! I am thinking I might be able to make a similar one! :0) I love those Bailey cups too. My girlfriend starting picking them up at Goodwill and has over a dozen and she used them one time when she had a tea, they were soooo cute! Come over and visit my blog, I showed some pictures of our front porch all decorated for Christmas!

Have a wonderful week, Sharon
