I guess I'd better start by wishing my baby a happy 21st! That's right, my 'little' Steven is 21 today :-D I cannot believe how fast those years have flown by. I was feeling a bit sad though because he's been in Milan since January 6th and isn't coming home until March so would be spending his birthday with strangers :-(
I had a bit of a nightmare yesterday...when I was cleaning the downstairs bathroom I broke the mirror into a gazillion pieces! OMG...I really didn't want 7 more years of bad luck!!! I had to think real fast so to counteract the bad luck...and don't ask me why I thought this would do it...I bought a lottery ticket lol.
We'd not long finished dinner when the doorbell went...it was Steven's girlfriend Vanessa who had been over for dinner on Thursday. I opened the door and the next thing Steven jumps out and shouts surprise!!!! OMG...I was stunned and then I started to all teary and he came in and gave me the biggest hug ever. It's so good to have him home although only for 2 weeks...and he brought me a present....5 weeks of washing lol. Apart from his socks and pants he hadn't washed any of his clothes pewwwwww! Apparently everyone knew he was coming home except Vanessa and I. So now I'm thinking breaking the mirror wasn't bad luck and must remember to check my lottery tickets!!!

Steven James born at 5:15pm on February 11, 1991 weighing 7lbs 5 ounces. This is him at 3 months with just a few chins lol
This his Steven last year...all 6' 6 1/2" of him ...he's changed a bit don't you think lol
This is Steven and Vanessa just before he left for Milan
Of course I made him a card which I mailed on Monday but he hadn't received before he left. At least I can show him the pictures. This is what I did...

My friend Elaine helped out with the numbers...she cut them out on her Cricut...I think it was the Mickey Mouse cartridge. I stamped, coloured and cut out Add On Magnum and the cake that comes with it then from the Add On set I stamped the balloon 3 times and Lily. The idea was for Lily to be floating away with the balloons :-D

I hope his card will be at the agency when he goes back
Of course I wasn't expecting him home so I've no fancy cake or ballooons which I would normally do for such a special birthday. I'll be running around today trying to get something sorted. Hopefully I'll have some pictures to show you tomorrow :-D
Right...I'd better get my skates on. I hope you have a great weekend...I know I will now my baby's home :-D
Catch ya later x

A fabulous card for a fabulous son - what a lovely surprise for you! Have a great time!
What a lovely surprise to have your baby home for his Birthday! I think I'd have been very emotional too!
Have a wonderful weekend, I'm sure Steven's Birthday will be fantastic shared with his family. Oh and... 'enjoy' the washing lol!

Now THAT is what I call a surprise party! But are you sure those pics you posted are of one and the same person? Enjoy the weekend. The washing can wait until after Steven's birthday, lol. And you're so right about Magnum being perfect for male cards. Love this one, too. Marianne xx
Wonderful wonderful surprise, he's so hunky too.
What a fantastic surprise Kerry, hope you all have an amazing time together...... the card is fab too. Love the numbers. The heart you asked about is from the cheery Lynn heartland die. Is that the one you have? It's a doily die but all the bits come apart so you can have it as one big die cut or use all the bits.... does that help?
Wonderful card Kerry! Such a cute baby photo and what a handsome young man he has turned out to be.
What a fabulous surprise. Have a lovely weekend!

What a nice surprise for you Kerry! Love his card, so cute with Lily floating away!
Oh Kerry that must have been sooooo emotional! I still cry every time my eldest goes back to Uni and he's been there nearly 7 years now!
Fab card, you really do do magnum very well! And now I know how to use it - I'm going to get my cricut out to play!
Hugs Laurie xx
He's a fine, handsome boy!! & that's a fine, handsome card!! What a wonderful surprise xx
