Eclipse and Birthday Party

Hey there.  I'm so glad you dropped by.  

Centerville Ohio was right in the path of the eclipse and my son and his family came down from Michigan to see it close up and we made a party of it.  The weather was great so we ate lunch outside and played corn hole and wiffle ball in between peeking at the sun through our glasses.

What an incredible experience!  I couldn't believe how cold it got during the total eclipse.  And the 360 degree 'sunset' was beautiful. 

It also happened to be the day after my great grandson's 11th birthday so we celebrated him with gift giving.  This kid is a Lego nut so his gifts from us consisted of several sets.  This is the card I made for him.


I used a polka dot die from MFT to cut little circles that I glued to paper strips to make Legos and then put them into a shaker rectangle also from MFT.  The sentiment was computer generated.  This is the inside.


I made an envelope with at PTI die and stuck a $20 bill in it.  He was almost as excited with it as he was with the giraffe he'd been asking for and the big airplane that he put together right away.  That's why he's not in the photo above. ;)
