Time to celebrate!

Hi everyone,

I keep repeating myself about being so busy. Nothing has changed in that area I'm affraid. LOL. It is very busy at work and also I have my own company where it's very busy as well. On top of that I am planning a party for my parents. For the party I have made 30 invitations. 30 doesn't seem much, but it took me forever! Maybe like 15 hours or so, maybe even more. That's at least 30 minutes a card! Anyway, I'm joining in with Mojo Monday and Paper Take Weekly with these invitations.







The party that I'm planning is a surprise party for my parents. They are married 40 years this year. Don't know if turning 65 is a big deal in the rest of the world, but here in Holland it does, because this is the age that you retire from work. And both my parents are turning 65 this year. My father turned 65 in January and my mother will turn 65 in May. I've never planned a party before, I loving it (so far... LOL). Only it costs a lot of time. Tomorrow I'm going to mail the invitations, and than I hope things will calm down a bit. At least with the party planning...


Thank you so much for stopping by! Love to see you next time!
Hugs,
Sandra

Prachtig! De kleuren zijn geweldig en de vlinder maakt het helemaal af, wat zijn ze mooi geworden he! Ja ik weet er ook alles van, om een serie dezelfde kaarten te maken. Dat is gewoon heel veel werk. Wel echt super leuk om een feestje te organiseren!!!

Liefs,
