Mother's Day

This is what Ben and Ellen gave me for Mother's day..the words are gorgoeus in the lid. The thoughts behind the gifts were really special.
The stone in the box has Happiness etched in gold on it.
The scratchies and flowers were from amanda and Simon, amanda also bought me a Take 5 magazine as she knows I love the puzzles. I was a very lucky mother on Sunday.

Happy Birthday Benjamin

Today my gorgeous Ben turned 15! He made it!
I had organised with a friend of his to get a little party ready at school as a surprise. He had a chocolate mud cake and enjoyed it thoroughly.
This afternoon he was so happy to finally get a Palm Pilot! This made for one very happy 15 year old. The other things he got also brought big smiles..an Xbox game and 2 boxes of pellets for his air rifle. He quickly tucked away the cash he'd received and then helped himself to one of his favourite meals..Shepherd's Pie with Garlic Bread!
Here he is with his birthday cake tonight..a caramel mud cake from the Cheesecake shop..his favourite. So all in all he had lots of favourite things and managed to have a great day even though it was a school day.

OK Virginia tagged me..thanks a bunch!
What scrapbook products/lines do you like/ dislike?There are really too many that I like to list but I am a Chatterbox fan and also wonder what I'd do without MM!
What technique do you use more than anything else? It's called simple scrapbooking!
What is the smallest scrap of paper you save? Strips are fine sometimes if they are wide enough but I've given up saving little itty bits! I never use them!
Have you had any scrapping related injuries? Headaches from things not going right! LOL
Finish this sentence…'If I weren’t a scrapbooker/stamper I'd still be taking thousands of photos!
Give your best storage organisational tool My wooden 12 X 12 paperholders!
You just won a week long scrapping cruise for 5. I'd have a lotto comp to see who came! unlike Virginia I wouldn't throw anyone over board!
When you received your first publication notification, who did you tell? Never been published so no one to tell! LOl It's a bit hard though when you don't submit!

Now I tag...Tassie Deb!
