Yesterday it was such a wonderful evening . . . when I arrived home, René and me went out for Dinner at our favourite Italian Restaurant first.
Then-back home-he gave me a present (one-the other one I will get on saturday when we are celebrating) and I can tell you-it is the sweetest present I every received!!! He gave me a Birthday-Surprise-Scrapbook-Album filled with Layouts created especially for my 25th Birthday-guess by whom??? Layouts created by friends and family AND by some of my favourite Scrapbook-Artists out there. Now-how cool is that???? When I flipped trough the pages of the album over and over again I was soooo thrilled and excited and happy . . . it really really made my day and it is the best surprise EVER!!! He contacted some of my fave Scrapbook-Artists and asked them to create a page for my Album and most of them happily agreed and contributed a Page for my Album. WOW . . . there are sooo amazing & wonderful Layouts in there . . . that’s definitely an Album I will treasure FOR EVER!!!
René . . . even tough I told you over and over-here AGAIN-black on white . . .
René-das ist wirklich sie schoenste Überraschung die ich jemals bekommen habe und ich finde es soooo lieb und sueß, dass Du so viel Muehe in dieses Projekt fuer mich gesteckt hast-und es hat sich sowas von gelohnt . . . ich Danke Dir von ganzem Herzen!!!! Ich liebe Dich!!!!
And thanks soooo much to everybody who contributed to this Album-in case you will read this . . . I am really so amazed by all your beautiful Pages and your kind words . . . thank you so much for helping René to make this idea come reality and for making my Birthday so very very speical with this surprise!!!
Now take a look at the Album and all the beautiful pages in there . . . (I only had time to take some snapshots-I will add a better scan of all pages to an extra Typepad-Album ASAP)!
