Tails’ Blography

Today was my dad’s birthday and what a stunningly beautiful day it was!! The sun was out, as it was yesterday, only today there was no wind and it was just gorgeous!

Mom and dad came out to dinner with me last night to sushi (a whole ‘nother post!) and today was spent working and relaxing.

Dad’s gift from me is still a secret (never know if he’s reading haha) since it’s a little late, but no doubt he’ll love it! So on that note, happy birthday, dad!!! I love you lots!

(sorry its a short blog, but I’m uber tired from last night’s dinner – I’m off to sleep! I’ll fix the overlapping image tomorrow!)

Today is muh birfday!!! I’m officially 26 years old! *big smile*

I’ve been so blessed today, its not even 9am and I’ve been wished via sms and Facebook already by so many people! Its great! As you can guess, I’m one of these people who get all silly when its my birthday and I love it!

I’ve been so spoilt by my boyfriend, who already bought me The Sims 3 Collector’s Edition, as on Saturday he treated me to a Egg & Sausage McMuffin Meal which I was craving, and then he took me to pick out a new pot for my Delicious Monster (also known as a swiss cheese plant) who was getting far too big for his tiny pot haha. I’m so pleased with it! I’ll take pics soon and upload, I promise, since it also crosses off one of my 101 in 1001 items.

Tonight I’m celebrating at a sushi place that serves all-you-can-eat sushi…with no limitations! All for R120! At most all-you-can-eat places, they say “no nigiri, no sashimi, no salmon roses, no handrolls, no no no” but here, anything goes! Last time I went, my first plate tallied up to R145 hehe and in total I ate R465 worth of sushi (yes, I eat a lot!). Deeeeevine! I’m looking forward to enjoying dinner with my friends and family and I hope Daleen and her hubby (who are in CT for a few days!) will enjoy it too!

So, check out the new poll and ‘vote’, and please forgive my self indulgence today…I only get like this once a year! Hehe!

Orlith’s birthday was the 9th of March this year, and she turned one. I never got around to shooting a birthday shoot for her, so finally today I managed to break out the hats, bake some bran muffins, and of course, start taking photos.

RATANOOGA has a yearly calendar, so these were my 3 choices for submission. I hope one of them gets in!

Happy (belated) birthday, Orly!

Some bloopers while they ran rampant on the set, demanding extra pay, more food, and bottled mineral water!

Next…Ramoth & Wirenth’s 1st birthday on 9th of September…stay tuned! :D

This is a simple card I made for my sister’s 29th birthday which is tomorrow (happy birthday, sis!). Its simple, but I love it! This card is easily customisable with colours and different decals (ie a four-leaf clover for a good luck card instead of a cupcake), so go wild with your imagination!

As always, I’d love to see your creations, so please link me to your blog/card so I can check it out. If you have any questions, just comment and I’ll answer, no problem. Someone did ask if these cards fit into a normal envelope, and the answer is yup. No special envelopes needed. I’m all about the easy stuff haha.

Please forgive the whoopsy at the end of the video, I forgot to stamp my “Handmade by Tails” stamp on it and had to merge two video clips together. Unfortunately it is rather blantant haha but such is the life of video tutorials. Also forgive the bad photography of the cards…the weather is overcast which doesnt make for quick & easy photos (and I was kind of in a rush). Thanks for watching, and hope you like the card!
