60th Birthday

Hello, everyone!  Happy Monday!  I want to first apologize to all my blog-world friends for being a little absent on your blogs lately.  Life has been crazy busy for me!  I'm beginning a week long teaching experience this week on a course that I designed with a classmate, so I've been up to my ears working on that.  Plus, I helped to plan and put together my mom's 60th birthday party, which was on Saturday.  Happy birthday, Mom! 

Isn't this a pretty centerpiece?!

We got her a red velvet candle and a bottle of her favorite wine, signed by the label artist with a special birthday message, too!

But the biggest gift was a book I made on Shutterfly.  The book was filled with pictures, but in every page, there was also a letter or card from a friend or family member.  It was so much fun to watch her turn the pages and read the birthday wishes!

 And, of course, there was a birthday cheers! :)

So, now you all know what's been keeping me busy- what did you do this weekend?
