Me.....and Alfie Boe

Hello, there!

I've spent the afternoon with Alfie Boe........he's sung to me, over and over, and I've melted like warm chocolate.....aahhhh.

Ok, ok,........I've been playing his latest album while I've been making a card....did'cha have to burst my bubble, eh, eh?
Ken bought me the 25th Anniversary edition DVD of Les Miserables, for Christmas, and Alfie's voice in the part of Jean Valjean just makes me weak at the knees, so when I saw his latest album, well....it would have been rude to leave it on the shelf, wouldn't it? :D

So, did I make a romantic card while I oozed all over my chair, as Alfie serenaded me?
Nah.......made a cheeky birthday card for my old mate, Pat......and I DO mean old (good job she doesn't read blogs!)...because it will be her 60th on 26th February...............do I REALLY hang out with people who are 60..........YEP.......and will be joinin' their ranks, come the end of June.....waaaaaahhhh!!!!

I've known Pat for 32 years, so I know she'll laugh when she sees this old girlie........


Pat would never dress like this, and the over-the-top bling is definitely not her thing.........but........I couldn't resist sprinklin' all these micro beads on the old girl's bag, stick and luvverly shoes! 


I've always made a "thing" about the fact that I AM YOUNGER than her......ok, only by 4 months.....and 1 day.......but that DOES make me younger......fffwwwaaaaaahhh......so I HAD to make a feature of her birth-date......well, ya would, wouldn't cha?

So, this is the finished product........


Definitely had to do some hand-sewing, on the green Bazzil, and around the image, because Pat is a keen needle-woman.......she made my Joanne's wedding dress........but I'm hoping she doesn't look too closely at my stitchin'.......heehee.

Hope you're doing okay, today.....thanks for dropping in.....
