SLOW WEEK

What a slow week it is! & a chilly one at that. I've been in a jacket all day today. 
I'm kind of thankful really that it's gone slow.
Currently been preparing for my 1st trip to the States to celebrate my brothers 40th. I'm so nervous & excited, Oh the craft & Christmas shopping I can do, of course, can't leave the hubby and kids out.
I've not flown that far before. Have flown back and forth to Aussie before (mind that was over 18 yrs ago now)
I was stressing something terrible at first, about the cost of the air fare and how much spending money to have etc....
Thank god my lovely hubby took control whilst i was a work and went to a couple of travel agents and got quotes. He found the most helpful one and went with them. So it's all paid for now and the stress has slowly wound down.. I wasn't even sleeping, thought a trip to the docs may have been needed.
Just what am i going to be like on the night i fly out??????

In the mean time I'm keeping busy with the many Birthdays this month and next month so my card making has been a great distraction.

Below is a card i made for a dear friend whom is 3 weeks older than i, I think she liked it.

I wasn't to sure about it at first myself, but it did grow on me as i added more to it.
My fave part was making the flowers from a Blog tutorial; http://joanne-mainlyflowers.blogspot.co.nz
Thanks Joanne. Her flowers are so real looking and inspiring.
