Today I celebrate my 29th birthday…. yay…. I finally got here! I think there were MANY times as I was growing up my Mum was convinced that I was never going to get here either because she could of killed me before now….. for …..well…..I can‘t remember what she knows and doesn‘t know so I will play it safe and just say….. lots of things I should not of been doing….{lol}….. I have always loved Birthdays just not my own and for the past two weeks I have been hushing people when they very kindly remind me that…. its my Birthday on Friday…..grrrrrrr or that I am turning the BIG 29! only one year off 30.….. I don’t know what my thing is about not get excited about my birthday….…I have lots planned for this birthday and it is going to be a busy few days, last night I had Family Dinner which was lovely, today I am going to the movies 😉 having lunch with my Mum and Sister, then spending the afternoon with some of my favourite little people {my Nieces} and finishing the day with my normal Friday night card class….. My Bestie, Elise is coming to Sydney from Brisbane for the weekend and she thinks we are going to party all weekend….. I am not so sure about that one…..
I know the song goes “its my party and I will cry if I want to” {well I am a bit of a cry baby at times but I will hold back the tears} ….. I want it to be….. “it’s my birthday and I can do giveaways if I want too…” I am sharing the birthday gifts with YOU…. I have not done BLOG CANDY in forever….. Here goes…..
Leave me a comment on whatever you like…. to help you here some ideas… tell me if you have a birthday survival tip? funny birthday stories? something about my blog {keep it nice kids} any good challenge sites you have found….pretty much anything you want to tell me…. I want to hear it…. I am starting with one birthday gift I will add another gift for every 29 comments… so if I have 58 comments I will give away 2 gifts…. If I have 87 comments 3 gifts…. And so on…. What are the gifts? It will be a surprise….all wrapped up, looking pretty as a birthday gift should and I can give you a hint it will be Papercraft related gifts…. Everyone can enter, all my SU demos and overseas readers welcome to play along… I want lots and lots of comments….so give them to me 🙂
The fun ends 12am on 22/4/2010. Winners advised by email…..
After ALL that I do have a card….. I bright one….
I used Taylor’s sketch challenge from last week, I love her sketch’s and work in general…. she is one clever little cupcake 😉

Hi Teneale
I know you would have had a lovely birthday as you share the day with my nephew – sorry I didn’t get on till today – love the cards they are beautiful. Hope you continue to have a lovely weekend with your friends and family. Hope to see you soon
hugs & kisses – Maree M
“Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday Dear Teneale,
Happy Birthday to You!!!!!”
Kisses and Hugs
Happy Birthday Teneale!! I hope you have had a lovely day.
This card is lovely!! I love the bright colours, it is so cheerful.
Happy 29th Birthday Teneale!! Hope you have had the most perfect day stamping. Love the colours you used for this card and all the other design elements you used.
Happy Birthday Teneale……Hope you made the best and most of today doing exactly as you chose to do. Somehow I imagine stamping was in the mix, love your creativity, your style and sheer amazement as the designs and colour mixes that you come up with. You are an Inspiration to us all.
Happy Birthday Teneale!! I am reasonably new to paper crafting, and have only recently discovered the world of stamping blogs! A friend told me to visit Makeesha Byls blog (which I love), and from there I have discovered your blog!! You are truly inspiring to an amateur like me, and I really love how you stamp the inside of your cards, I have recently started doing that after seeing you do it! I have 2 small children and work 30 hrs a week, so unfortunately dont get too much time to craft (or blog surf!!), but when I do, I always check out your blog. This is the first time I have ever left a message on anyones blog, but I just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your work. You are very talented. Have a lovely birthday weekend.

Hope you had a SUPER great birthday! And are still enjoying your celebration weekend! I love glitter – if it is not all over your craft room and you when you have finished the card then you have not tried hard enough, lol! I love it when I notice it on my husband the next day too 🙂
I hope you had a fantastic day Teneale! You so deserve it.
I would like to thank you for sharing all of your creations on your blog. I love all of your creations, they are works of art! I also feel very lucky that I get to see them in person sometimes and even swap with you! Looking forward to catching up with you again soon.
Jo
Happy Birthday! Hope you had a super day!
Happy Birthday Teneale!!!
Oh to be 29 again 🙂 I had my 30th a number of years ago, but I haven’t reached the big 40 yet!
Congrats on becoming one of Keesh’s DT members, it is great to have your input, I love your work, you are very talented!!
I really like the cards in your “Simple Spirits” post. You mentioned the Clean & Simple blog which is very inspiring. There is another blog I love that would inspire you with the “less is more” approach (if you don’t know already). Here is the link http://simplicitybylateblossom.blogspot.com/ I have to say though that when you do put “more” in to your cards, it is very tastefully done!
Hope your weekend with your friend has been very special, and that your birthday was all you wished it to be.
Love Shell
Happy Birthday Teneale! Remember it’s only a number. I love your cards, they are always perfect and I love how you decorate the inside as well.
Happy Birthday Teneale. You are so talented and your cards are always absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for sharing them. I’m hoping if I keep checking your blog some of your talent might rub off on me!
WOW!! What an amazing number of comments – testament to how awesomely talented you are – my fave No.1 blog to visit for inspiration! Hope you had a great birthday!
Hi Teneale,
Hope you had a great day for you’re 29th Birthday, spending precious time with Family and Friends is a memory to cherish forever. One of your previous posts I enjoyed was the one you showed how you tie your bows, I have found this to be very helpful.
It was great seeing you in the latest CSP magazine.
I also love the colour combination you have used in this card, I have made something similar to this before, maybe you can remember where and when we made this?
I haven’t really been a huge fan of the stamp set until now! All I can say is WOW…It looks amazing in those colours! Having 3 daughters I love pretty girly colours like this!
You are an amazing talent and I really enjoy visitng your blog daily!
Sorry forgot to say, A very Happy Birthday to you! 🙂
Hi Teneale…Happy birthday!
dont know whether you remember me or not. we met @inklings quarterly training.
anyway….Growing old is inevitable. Growing up is optional.
It’s not about age, it’s about attitude.
so…have fun and enjoy your special day!
God Bless…
Love your blog Teneale. Definately one of my faves! Hope you had a great birthday. I’m turning 29 this year too. Not scared yet but wait till next year 🙂

Hi Teneale,
Just been looking at all your gorgeous work. I came across this quote last night when I was looking for something else.
Thirty is the ideal age for a woman-especially if she’s forty. (Nelson’s Book of Laughter)
I love it, so consider yourself getting to the ‘good’ age! LOL! And Happy Birthday!
