    Happy Birthday Cathy! What a wonderful day to catch you live! LOVE your sweet cupcake creations today, the red velvet is lush! But I loved the sweet plaid paper on your tag and other card, they’re all so gorgeous! Love the clever rounded trim on the cute strawberry to fit it in when the glue was fixed firm too, love how you’re able to think on your feet live, that’s a skill! Congrats on paying off your house too! That is epic! We’re still trying to afford a house since our return back to NZ from the UK.

    What a delightful card! My birthday is a day before yours! March is a funny month. I’ve had rain, snow, hailstorms, tornadoes on my birthday. Very little sunshine. When I was little, we could never plan an outdoor celebration because literally the weather could change in a millisecond! Now, I could care less!

  78. Lisa says

    Absolutely adorable cards & tag! Looking forward to placing my Waffle Flower order as soon as I finish my comment! Also sending very Happy Birthday Wishes to y’all!!! We have four Pisces in our family. Starting with my mom’s bday is on 2/29/1940 (she turned 21 last yr so we celebrate big every 4th yr and keep it more casual the other 3 yrs), my hubby & I still privately celebrate his grandfather’s bday on 3/2 every yr, then my brother’s is on 3/8 as well and my niece’s on 3/16. Enjoy your evening out celebrating your birthdays and paying off the mortgage on your house. And as always I completely enjoy your videos!!!
