Just AMAZING!!!

Recently, last month I had a surprise party for my 50th! yep the big five-o, and I had a wonderful party with all my family and friends. I am still getting over the fact that so many people who helped arrange in secret this fantastic party. I will never forget it, it was believe it or not my first party.
Some of the girls well a few of them from Scraptivate, made this wonderful, extraordinary, stunning and a HUGE lot of tiles as a gift, I think 156 in total. Audrey Underwood designed it and used colours that she knows I love, and I love it with a passion and I will always hold it dear to me. It will be a focal point in the entry hall of my house so everybody can see the talent and art of these wonderful girls. Even the twins pics were downloaded off the Internet printed, and incorporated into this fantastic piece. Thank you to, Audrey Underwood, Maxine Hazebroek, Mel, Kelsey, Natalie and items from her lovely store.

Some of the close up details of the canvas, with the twins photos, and check out the amazing details the girls went to to create the tiles. Gosh they used so many different techniques, papers and embellishments.
Thanks so much G I R L S ! ! ! ! ! xxxxxx

I heard from the girls you got a big shock, it was hilarious that day to hear you say that you were just going to crop all night and have time with the girls, especially when I was there while they were discussing how they were going to make excuses to get away!!!
Happy belated birthday, Julie. Hope it was a great start to the year ahead.
