Fun filled birthday lunch

This past Friday, my gf Teri took me to lunch at Macaroni Grill to celebrate my birthday which is actually today. So nice to sit back and relax and talk and laugh with a girlfriend. We had a great waiter who was able to take a picture of us this year, unlike past years. Lol!To top it off, they send someone to your table to sing happy birthday to you in Italian. This guy was really good.
This photo is funny because that is actually Teri's piece of cake that they put the birthday candle on. I ordered the sorbet that is off to the side.
And here is the birthday card that Teri made for me. It is so darling! You have to see it IRL. It is a shaker card and she even decorated the inside of the card. This is a new GF stamp but it is so cute that she colored her hair pink. I got a bunch of gifts from her too. Thanks so much Teri for the best birthday lunch! If you get a chance, go check out her blog. She has so many creative ideas.
And I got a surprise treat from my gf Joy. She made this mini gable box for me with Fluer Anya from the GF and filled it with these beautiful flowers like the one she used on her hair.
Here's the card that Joy made for me using a stamp called popcorn bear and the inside had a treat for me from one of my favorite places I go to everyday. Go check out Joy's blog too because she's on a design team and she has so much creative energy! Thanks so much Joy for thinking of me on my birthday!
My daughter gave me this book along with a bunch of gifts this morning. I was caught by surprise when I opened the box because she sees me reading this blog every morning and I have been wanting to get this book. This woman, Pikko (Crystal) comes up with all these creative ideas on making bentos for lunch. I don't think I could even eat it after all the work she puts into making it.
Well, thanks for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed reading this long post. Have a wonderful Monday!!!

Well, happy, happy, Happy Birthday Cheryl! If I knew it was today I would have made you a card, but it wouldn't be as nice as any of those that you craft. I loved the one with the cupcake that you did on the Joy of Crafting. My birthday wish for you is years of good health and creativity!
