Family birthdays

Copy of DSCN5332
Before my old wiblog went to the great blogheaven in the sky I made a couple of new cards for my cousins’ birthdays.

One was for my cousin Alice who was 18 at the beginning of November. Hard to believe that when she was born she was 3 1/2 months early and weighed about 1lb 11oz. I was 15 at the time and she was always like my little baby as my Mum looked after her a lot. She asked me whether I was going to go to her 18th birthday party… sadly I reminded her that technically I am old enough to be her mother, which means I was also old enough to be her friends’ mother. However, her older brother, who is a few months older than me went. I gather he showed them how to party and has suffered with a large hangover for quite some time.

He has always been one of my favourite cousins (shush… don’t tell anyone) and we looked quite alike when we were younger as we both had long, blondish straight hair. This was when he was wearing exceptionally dodgy clothing as he was in a rock band. His birthday party was a ‘Facial Hair Party’. Moustaches (real or fake) were compulsory. So here is a pic of Dan’s card, plus an exceptional photo of my Dad who looks rather like Professor Robert Winston with this dodgy ‘tache!

BeccyYesterday my cousin Beccy was 40. I made this card for her with a picture of her which was taken at my parent’s wedding. Wasn’t she cute? Serious, but cute!

Beccy used to baby-sit me and my sister when we were little. She was a great baby-sitter and used to play all sorts of games with us. However, she was also quite strict (maybe that is why she is a teacher now) and she also knew all my tricks. When I was younger I used to read loads, as I do now, especially Enid Blyton books which I loved. After she had put me to bed I used to switch the light back on and carry on reading, but she always caught me out. She used to check the last page number I had been reading, find the book under the duvet, check whether the bedside lamp was warm, find the torch etc etc. She knew every single trick in the book… mainly because she had done exactly the same when she was little too! It’s never fair when you get beaten by someone who knows how the game is played!
