happy birthday to you minibook

hello, darlings! i am back from my western excursion, and today we are driving down to maryland to help my father-in-law celebrate his ♥80th♥ birthday! coincidentally, today on the pixie blog is the fun little birthday book i made for that gentleman, using papers and embellishments from the MARY MARY QUITE CONTRARY kit:


i'm quite proud of this project, and pleased it came out well, since it is being given to one of my favorite people in the whole world! i do hope you'll pop over and see photos of the inside, and read about all of the cool ingredients used in its construction! ♥

  7. Okay, I saw this lovely creation the other day but didn't have the requisite amount of time to adequately oooh and aaaahhh over it, so I am rectifying that immediately forsooth. This is just pure genius, and I am notifying you that I plan to purloin it at some time in the near future. I'm sure your dear FIL was smiling from head to toe at his special gift. Brilliant idea to use the Dr. Suess poem...ageless giggles. Lovely!
