It’s a good thing to need birthday cards – it means there are wonderful people in your life that you want to acknowledge.  I just wish I could get my act together sufficiently to send birthday cards on time.  Ah well.  As Popeye says, “I yam what I yam.”  And I “yam” sure there will always be room for improvement.

You don’t see the shimmer paint in the photo, but it’s there on the image panel, trust me.  Love that stuff.  It’s done wonders for my marriage, too — now, don’t go getting ideas — my husband HATES glitter.  Shimmer paint is the Anti-Glitter that keeps us both happy!  No more glitter in the furniture finish, correspondence or laundry!
