We had Ben's birthday party today - two days ahead of his 'real' birthday. A pool party - that's what Ben always requests, and that's what Ben always gets. It's easy. Somehow Mother Nature has always smiled on this and it has always worked out. I will post more and put up some pictures, but in a moment of weakness tonight as I was making the kids their supper, I ate some of the leftover cantelope. [Canteloupe?] Bad mistake. I didn't think two pieces were going to hurt me, but I am suffering now. I developed some sort of weird allergy to honeydew and cantelope in my mid-thirties (honeydew is way worse) and eating them makes my stomach quite sick. But being, the eternal optimist, every now and then I try a piece anyway, just in case the allergy has departed as quickly as it arrived. Um, nope. Still here, but seemingly worse than ever. :-(
Anyway, in honour of Ben's birthday, here's a layout I did several years ago (November 2005!) using a lot of fabric and notions for a frugal scrapbooker article. I still kind of like it, but Ben and I have both come a long way since then. :-) Funny how I can still remember almost every detail of his birth! Wonder how long it takes those memories to fade................
