OOPI celebrates Friendship and Birthdays!

There are friends, best friends, and friends you simply cannot imagine your life without ... The kind of friends that make life brighter, smoother,  bearable during trying times and generally put happy accents wherever and whenever you need to smile.
I am very fortunate to have a friend just like that.
Today is her Birthday.
And as we all know, Birthdays are really the kind of days that can go either way. Well adults' Birthdays anyway...

So I made a little something for her:

with bold graphics and lots of orange,

a very happy -OOPI- kind of purse,

 with more colour surprises inside,

 because I can't seriously call it "The Gero Purse" if it doesn't have  a touch of brown somewhere ....

HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY RAMON!

Yesterday it was our little friend Ramon's Birthday party. Like many little (and big) boys, Ramon likes to play with the Nerf guns. Now, there is nothing cute about these plastic shooters, so I wondered how I could please him, by giving him something he likes, and at the same time keeping an element of sweetness appropriate for his age ...


Then I remembered I had a camo shirt found a while ago at an Op shop ...
.

All it needed was embelishments: a band of velcro to attach a few bright yellow stars (recycled from a reward wall charts the kids have in their room.) and a name tag, also attached on a velcro strip.

Et voila!

Still cute right ?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAMON!!
