Today was my stepgrandmother's 90 birthday. Her family threw a surprise party for her, only she wasn't really surprised, she had known for a while that something was up. Which is just as well - at 90, you don't need too many surprises.
Further to last Monday's
post, here are some photos of the little book I made for her:

One of the middle pages (as shown above and below) has two extra bits that fold out. Here's what the flaps look like partially unfolded:

Unfortunately she didn't have a chance to unwrap the book while I was there, I hope she likes it! I certainly had fun putting it together.
Here is a picture of my sister, my mom, the birthday girl, my aunt and myself at this afternoon's festivities:
and here's one of my sister and I with Leola.
What a treat to be able to share this special day with her!
