One of the amazing things about Blogland for me has been the number of lovely people who have come into my world and stayed there.
Even though there are many I have never met I feel very lucky to have all these people in my life, they are generous, supportive, encouraging and I count them all among my friends.
My share today is for Loll.
I mailed her a different birthday card which I hope she has received by now, but this is one I made especially for her for our CAS 'on-line birthday share'.
Once again though I am disappointed with the pic as it simply doesn't show the dimension or colours in a true reflection!
This is a Lisa Horton 3d embossing folder called Bold Blooms inked with shades of pink and lilac.
The sentiment is white heat embossed on vellum.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOLL. x
We have had some very hot days recently but it is more normal temperatures now - and with the normal temps has of course come the rain - which although irritates me, it made the garden and my pots happy!
I hope the sun is shining in your part of blogland. x

This looks very pretty and I'm sure it is spectacular in real life, shame that pictures don't always do things justice. Shame also that not as many people are blogging as they were in the past but, like you, I have made lots of virtual friends and it is great to share and keep in touch. I appreciate my followers and the time they take to leave comments, also enjoy following my blogging friends.
You can send some of your rain my way if you like. We are still very dry here, although we did have a short heavy shower today and now the air is much fresher. I love your card, such lovely soft colours and beautiful dimension xx
Dear Viv. I have received your gorgeous card in the mail and it's so lovely. The design is very artsy with the butterfly divided into to colours. I LOVE IT and admire it each day. Thank you also for the beautiful post to honour my birthday along with the pretty-in-pink flower card. I agree with you that there are wonderful people on-line that become friends from a distance. I count you as one of those very special people in my life. Love, Loll
