It’s a shame I can’t just drive to my sister’s house and drop this birthday card in her mailbox, because then it wouldn’t be arriving too late. Sorry, sis! Hope you have a wonderful, warm, and sunny day in Belgium today!
The Dutch sentiment could be translated as: A birthday is a day that floats between yesterday and tomorrow (but my translation skills are quite rusty). I used a Viva la Verve sketch (6/10/11) to get my mojo started. Love the pretty papers in BasicGrey’s Sweet Threads collection!
Thanks for stopping by!

How beautiful and I will write that sentiment down, even if it is wrong!
