Happy 3rd Birthday Alicia!!

More monkeys!  And this time, some very beautiful but maybe not so graceful ballerina monkeys to wish Romain's niece a happy 3rd birthday.

reverse side - bit smudgy because I was cutting it fine with timing - surprise!

Alicia looking slightly overwhelmed by all the delicious things on the table 

- but notice she is quietly pulling the tablecloth and its contents in her direction.....

ape-iness!

I'm on a roll!  3 cards in 3 days.  This latest offering was inspired by Romain - and possibly our own pending nuptials.  As I was drifting off to sleep last night he said - you make me ape-y!  Wuh?  I said.  You make me ape-y.  Like happy.  He said.  You should use that on one of your cards.

So I did!

And who wouldn't want a lifetime of ape-iness?

Don't be crabby!

I must have a guilty conscience!  But my bear (which was for a friend to say sorry for having taken 2 months to reply to an email) has sparked in me the urge to create a line of 'sorry' cards.

How could you be crabby with this little fella??
