Happy Birthday

to my friend Mary!!!

I was very happy to participate in this blog hoping-birthday-celebrating-scrapbooking event! Hope you have GREAT day today Mary!!



A little close up (although the colors are a bit off...)



I created a card with a little pocket in it filled with two identical word searches (for Mary and her hubby Derrick) called All About Mary. Listing words I brainstormed about Mary.



My words to tell about Mary??

talented (seriously talented this girl!)
Derrick (DH)
witty (read her writing and you'll see what I mean)
friend (yup, lucky me!)
photographer (she's better than she thinks she is!)
creative (seriously have you SEEN her stuff?)
writer (she has a gift with words!)
scrapbooker (have you SEEN her stuff?)
reader (she is a book lover! i love being her goodreads friend!)

beautiful (photogenic, simply beautiful)
engineer (her pre-baby job)
married (to her DH)
generous (she actually gave me almost every piece of everything on the card I made her....)
kind (see above)
crafty (yet again...have you SEEN her stuff? check out what she did with her Yudu)
