Good Morning and Happy Hump Day to all!! Today is my birthday and my girls have been planning how to make it special for days now.
Two days ago, Nicki, decided we needed to have pudding on my birthday at 7 a.m. in the morning. She failed to look at the chocolate pudding packs to see that one of the packages she grabbed was cook and serve and the other instant. They just couldn't figure out why it would not thicken up. Too cute...of course at the time when I saw the mess in my kitchen, I was not thrilled. They dumped out my entire cupboard to find these packs and I had mix everywhere. What a good feeling to be loved so much, though!
The girls have been up since six trying to make my day special. I think my birthday will not be about me but my two sweethearts instead. We plan to make an icecream cake together. Not good for my diet but we do have to splurge once in a while, right?
Today I have two challenges share with you which are perfect for my celebration. Infact, I think I will give my project to myself. LOL! The Inky Impressions Challenge is to make a gift (unless it is a gift card holder)and not a card and the Flutter By Wednesday challenge is to use a butterfly or fairy with Sapphire (September's Birthstone).
I can't wait to share my project with you but first let me give you the details for Flutter By Wednesday....Danni will have some blog candy for this last week of her Birthday celebration so make sure you pop by her blog and check it out!! She also has a guest this week, Anna! Her blog title is scrap and crap but it is far from crap!! You will be in for a real treat so stop on over and leave her some love!! We also want to welcome back Taylor and Kristie to the Team!! Woo hoo!! You were missed and we are so glad to have you back. Since this is the last week of the Birthday celebration at Flutter By we want to thank you all for making it such a fun time for us all!
Today's project is made using Flower Lili from Inky Impressions. She is just so sweet!! I colored her with Prisma color pencils and gamsol. The dp is from the Retired Urban Garden paper stack from SU. I decided to make a treatbox. This is my own design without a pattern so there is no one to blame if there are any flaws but me!!! LOL! The flowers I created using the MS Cosmo flower punch and Boho Blossoms punch from SU. I am sorry this photo looks so far away but the treat box is so big I had a hard time getting the whole thing in the picture.
The goodies inside are my absolute favorite!!!!!!!!Dark Lindt Chocolate!!!!YUMMY!! Now before my diet I would eat a handful of them no problem but well...now I may not eat even one although the temptation is there. Infact the temptation is so great that I just decided as I am typing this post that maybe today as a celebration for my birthday that I will make a small treat bag and fill it with these chocolate goodies!!! I will randomly choose a winner for anyone who comments on this post before midnight tonight!!!
I hope you have enjoyed today's post and that you are inspired to either create a gift using and Inky Impressions stamp for the Inky Impressions Challenge or use a fairy or butterfly with sapphire (it can just be embellished with sapphires). If you do join the FBW challenge please leave a DIRECT link on Danni's blog. If you upload your creations to SC or PCP, please use the keyword FBW.

I hope you have enjoyed today's post!! I had hoped on posting this much earlier so I could put up my blog candy but there are just so many details that I am forgetting.
I hope to have my blog candy up within the next hour. I have been so blessed with health and happiness over the past year. I am also blessed to be surrounded by a loving husband and daughters, parents, siblings, friends (including you my blogging friends) . I decided as a way of saying thanks, I am putting up my first blog candy (not for a dt or for a hop just from plain old me.) I tried to include different things that people had commented on in previous posts as well as a lot of my faves. Hope to see you there. Kelley , owner of Our Daily Bread Designs generously donated one of my fave stamp sets for my birthday and Nicole , owner of Inky Impressions, also donated a cute Birthday stamp! Thanks girls!!!
Don't forget, one lucky person will win some Lindt chocolate on me for my birthday. I will announce my winner tomorrow on the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog hop!! You don't want to miss the hop either cause the dt has awesome cards and projects to show you using the new release and there are prizes too! Can't beat that!!!!!
Speaking of my girls, I better go check on them. Too quiet!! They have been plotting my day since 5:30 a.m. Scary!!!
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!!
I have added this to my post because I have been working on my blog candy post with little success. Every time I press post it says it has a Java script error. Looks like I will be starting over. Maybe it will be up by 12 p.m. I AM PRAYING!!!
