Turquoise Flip Book

Hello, here is the flip book I have made for my eldest DD who's birthday is 8 days after her Sister's.  
I remember with fondness how busy June used to be when they were younger!  June was the main manic month in our family, everyone seems to have one dont they and mine was June!  I loved June! 

The sheer thought of it now makes me want to have a seat, where on earth did I get the energy plus I was working then!  
It feels like a lifetime ago.
The main baton for spoiling them now has been handed to their chaps!

This year is a little different as we will be having a special 'birthday' weekend with just them and me and I can't wait!  Its just 3 nights until we head down to Devon to set up the caravan ready for their arrival on Friday!
Just wanted to show you what this book looked like before it leaves my hands.  Steph is daft about Disney's The Little Mermaid ( I have to say, I do love it too!) so when I got this mermaid stamp a couple of years ago, with her in mind, I have finally inked it and coloured it specially for the book.
Some of the ideas are the same for both of the girls just so I dont hear the 'her's is nicer than mine'!!  

They will be 27 and 25 this year!  


This was us on our last girlie weekend, last September in Birmingham for the Wedding Show! 

I tell you, if I ever find that Fat Fairy who comes along at night when I'm asleep and sprinkles me with flab, I will wring her neck!

I doubt I will be back online before we go so I will wish us all some beautiful sunshine for the whole month of June!!  To be honest, being in a caravan, I just hope for it to be dry!
Take care
Keryn

Lucky you, holidaying in Devon, hope you are taking your crafting stuff with you - inspiration by the beach! Will miss you not being on line, so have a fab time and catch up with you very soon.
