Birthday Book by Sue

Susan made this wonderful chipboard book for my birthday. 
I want to share the loveliness. 
She is an artist. Also a poet, although she doesn't know this yet. 
We have been friends since we were nineteen. We are both 50 now.
We are complete opposites in every way; this is good. 
We are committed to being girlfriends forever.

  4. Oh, my! This certainly deserves the hug I'm sure you gave her.

    I love, love, love this vintage playfulness, but every time I try to shape it, the whole thing warps beneath my fingers into some ... thing ... other.

    I'm so glad/thrilled/joyous that there are gifted people who can do it right, and then friends like you who make sure it is shared around so people like me can appreciate it!

    Lovely!

  7. Karen, I try to copy her also, my stuff never has that shabby chic elegance-it just looks bad. Nancy, she collects altered Mona Lisa pics for these things. I'm always surprised and delighted. Mama hen, I cried too.
    Country Girl, of course that would be your fav quote. You're a spitfire.
    Thx Lorrie and Bree.
