Birthday Cards and Celebrations

I still don't have pics of Noah's birthday celebrations yet so he'll get his own post. :) I sure did miss being able to go up to Virginia for his birthday this year. Instead, my friend Karen and I conspired against her husband Scottie and had a small get-together for his 60th the day after his birthday. We managed to surprise him and had great fun last night! They brought along a friend of theirs and their big Harley Davidson motorcycles.
I made tomato sauce on Saturday from fresh tomatoes from our garden. Then I used some of that sauce to make my yummy homemade lasagna. It sat overnight and was SUPER yummy! After the lasagna was made I made Scottie's fav cake - yellow cake with chocolate icing. Thanks Duncan Hines for making it easy! Wish decorating were that easy! Cake Boss and Ace of Cakes have nothing to fear from me! I finally made the little "sign" with my Cricut and a Sharpie pen to make it look better! Thankfully it tasted better than it looked! LOL!

Then Sunday I spent cleaning house and recuperating from Saturday's full day in the kitchen. LOL! I also made a card for Karen to give Scottie (thanks to Bev Code for the image and my dear husband Steve for the Harley Birthday idea!). I also picked SOME of the tomatoes in the garden... This is the harvest just from Sunday morning!

Scottie was totally surprised by all the birthday celebrating and after picking the veggies and goodies fresh from the garden, we had homemade bread (from frozen dough so I kinda cheated) and salad and a bottle of wine along with the lasagna. MMMMMMMMM GOOD!!!

Here's the cards... On the banner card I used my Kreaxions circle cutter and the #905 punch along with my Cricut...


Finally it was time to bring out the cake and Scottie's fav ice cream - Blue Bell Dutch Chocolate. Steve brought it out all lit up and started singing "Harley Birthday to you!" Hehehe! It was awesome!


Here's Scottie on the left, Karen in the middle and friend Spot in their Harley leathers ready to ride home.

Scottie said he'd never forget this birthday! Awwwww!!! It made all the hard work and sore feet worth it! :) Happy 60th Birthday Scottie!
