Party Acceptance card handmade

I made this party acceptance card for my friends 50th Party in May I thought as it was her special Birthday in May her 50th that I would make an effort when writing an acceptance.

Such  things now seem to go by the wayside in this age of email acceptances and text .. So i thought it would be nice to be old school and traditional.

So after getting lost in the craft department of my local garden centre I purchased some crafting scissors, spot on glue , double sided tape and a craft magazine ... (which was 1 hour away and not really local at all Mr T muttered. )

I don't think I did too bad  ! what do you think / and remember I am just a beginner!

My Midwife journey.....

 With all this talk of going back to the 1950's and with the completion of the successful BBC series 'Midwives' it got me thinking of my midwife journey. So way back in 1998  as I started my pregnancy journey .. clutching my copy of  Emma's Dairy  I went to see my midwife.


Emma Driary is a source of brilliant information for pregnant ladies , well it was for me anyway. Ever the pragmatist  I pointed at the bit in my copy of  Emma's Driary ( 1998 )  the bit where it mentioned Domino Delivery and this sadly is not anything to do with a successful pizza delivery service  .


It's when the midwife is with you at home for the majority of the labour, you then go in for the actual birth and then are home as soon as possible after the birth, sometimes within a couple of hours of delivery. It's a way of spending the maximum time at home and not in hospital but with midwife assistance.. Which is pretty much what is talked about currently. I was  laughed out of the Doctors surgery with the words ringing in my ears " We don't have the resources for that! ".


 I should have complained but I didn't  at the time now I would  as it happens it wouldn't have been suitable becasue of the complications I went on to have. But I would liked to have the oppurtunity intially to have it.

I am 39 and a bit... so...........

I am 39  and this year I am that age so what?

Do I have to have endless celebrations like my work colleagues ?

Do I have to have a midlife crisis?

Do I have to dye my hair lose 4 stone and rediscover myself?

Do I start to think I am old enough to be your  mother ?  this is referring to exactly that and not window shopping...as if....

What do I do?

mmmmm

I could learn how to cook cakes... seriously have you seen my cake cooking posts?

I could learn how to cook...

I could learn how to sew...

I could learn how  to dance...

I could learn how to drive....

I could ride a Roller coaster again .... last time I was 12.

I could try and learn the off side rule.....

Pondering a midlife crisis.....

I am challenging Catherine to write about being 39 and a bit.. sorry to give your age away !
