CTMH Artfully Sent florist pick and happy Saturday!

Thank you for stopping by! Today I am going to show what I did for one of yesterday's birthdays. I thought I'd finish with  this Artfully Sent card I keep showing before I move on with the University of   Memphis and Mystery Science theater stuff I made. I also need to post from this great stamp set. So much great stuff I received all at once. I have to finish a St Louis Cardinals card I started. I also have to start working on my grandmas 90th birthday party stuff. I am a bit stumped. I am going to take time today to do some things I have been looking forward to. I am doing one of them now in writing this post. I am thankful for anyone taking time to read this. So, my good friend at work went to work somewhere else in town, and she turned 50. I wanted to do a little something for her on her special day. I decorated my empty cubicle beside me and then begged her to come by and visit. The leaves that say happy birthday were made by Heather. I like to take what I already have sometimes and just add to it. These cheap birthday banners have held up so well. I don't think my handmade ones would for as much as I like to decorate for birthdays. Sorry for being long winded today! Ok, on with the pics!

Here's the birthday girl, Queen. I really miss her at work.

I used the Artfully sent card I have shown so much in the florist pick. I just thought the card was so beautiful that it added something special to the arrangement. I also enjoy arranging flowers. Both my grandmothers are skilled at this. The one turning 90 used to arrange the flowers for church. I have the newspaper there because I would give her a newspaper nearly everyday for her husband. My husband delivers newspapers every night.
