Happy Birthday, Beverly!

Happy Birthday, Beverly! So I mailed this card earlier today, and I was debating on whether or not to post it until you received it in the mail, but I guess you see what won out! For the layout of the card, I used the Sketch This #94. It felt great to do a sketch challenge last night...instead of grading papers! hee!


Glad to hear you had a good day! A flat screen in your scraproom?! I am seriously jealous!! I have the 19" from Lori's brother's first marriage! lol! You deserve it, though, so glad your family knows it!


Now, here's a little story on getting old for you...a lunchtime conversation with one of my 2nd grade students:

Student: Miss Tieman, why are you so old?
Me: I just am. I've been alive a long time.
Student: (sighs)
Me: It's not so bad, it's better than the alternative.
Student: What do you mean?
Me: I'm still alive.
Student: Yeah, but...it's just that you have a white hair right here. (Proceeds to point to the top of my head.) Can I pull it?
Me: No.
Student: Please?
Me: No. (She's still thinking about it.) If you pull that hair, you're going to get a color change. (Student runs back to her chair.)


I'm laughing big-time, of course, and so is she. Good times, good times.


Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy Birthday again, Beverly! Hugs and happy stamping!

  7. Angie,
    You are too funny! Fortunately for you I got busy yesterday evening and didn't check your blog until this evening, after I opened today's mail! So the card was a surprise, both when I opened the mail and when I read your blog! Thank you so much for the birthday wishes!
