Being crafty and having an over abundance of supplies really does come in handy sometimes. For example, if you forget a friends birthday and it's already a week later.
I can't believe I forgot my friend Debbie's birthday. I read her blog post yesterday and she mentioned that it was last weekend. I set out to put together a little gift for her. I made a card, boxed up one of my quilled necklaces, threw in the recycled mushroom can project and decorated a photo mat that I hadn't used yet with some quilled flowers.
I happened to have a picture of her and her husband that I had taken last year so I printed it out to go with the mat.
Not bad for last minute if I do say so myself.

I will remember to make sure I mention it to you when it's MY birthday, ha ha!! How beautiful and special!
I'm sure Debbie will be thrilled. I read this somewhere that "Late is better than never." Love the quilled photo mat.
You did really well on this. I didn't have a doubt one either. You are very talented.
Have a terrific day. My best to Duke. :)
These gifts are most special as they are made specially for her. She'll be so happy! Love the frame picture of her and her hubby!

A lovely way to show how much you care.
If it passed Inspector 12's (Duke) scrutiny, she should love it.
