Happy Birthday to ME!

Awww....I'm sure the ABC Challenge Blog  DT didn't realize when they selected this week to be Birthday Cards that today was my Birthday,  LOL!   I think actually we're celebrating Patty and her family Bday's so be sure to stop by her Blog and wish all of them a happy one too ... BUT it just so happens that TODAY is my Bday also. 
All Day yesterday I kept asking my DH if we were going to celebrate my Birthday Dinner early because I had to go out of town today for work.   He was very non-commital which isn't like him and sure enough,  I ran to do an errand for work and came home to Dark Chocolate Brownies,  Dinner and Presents.  He's a keeper.   I got a very sweet "Love" Mug for coffee and a small      I-Home so I can listen to my I-Pod at my Crafty Desk.   It's playing right now and it's wonderful.   I did a workout and had a small brownie so it's all good in the scheme of things.    I hope all of you will stop by the ABC Challenge Blog this week and make a Birthday Card for someone special!   Here's Mine --- 

The sketch is from this week's MFT Blog.  These cute stamps are from Taylored Expressions.  The inside sentiment reads,  " I just wanted my card to stand out from the crowd."  !  Yay for Birthdays,  enjoy your day!        Supplies:  CTMH CS Creme Brulee, Cranberry,  Washi Tape,  Taylored Expressions Stamps Stand Out, Misc Copics
