It's been a very busy
few weeks . . .
Lots of gardening, home repair,
great times with friends & family
and one birthday after another.
I've been picking and enjoying
cut flowers from the garden.
The greenery in this bouquet
is Dill Weed and Carrot Stems.
These lovely Dahlias
are not from my garden,
but a gift from a dear friend
from her garden,
for my birthday.
These beautiful cards are just
some of what I received.
See the one with my glorious age
on it . . . that one is handmade
by Connie at Connie's Crafty Creations
https://conniescraftycreations.blogspot.com/
She makes lovely handmade greeting cards.
These two cakes I baked for
friend's having birthdays . . .
And this was my
Birthday Day cake made by my
Sweet Sister-In-Law.
She knew that I couldn't eat
cake . . .I can bake them,
but not eat them, LOL.
It was beautiful
and very delicious :)
💡💡💡💡💡
To change the subject . . .
I had this idea "💡"
I made a selfie video on
my android phone
and tried to download it
to put into this post.
I'm at a lost when it comes
to technology.
Do any of you know how to do this?
I sure could use some help 🫤
That's my post,
Thanks so much for visiting.
God bless you all.
I'll be looking forward
to reading your comments.
Keep Smiling,
Your blogging sister,
Connie :)
Belated Happy Birthday, dear Connie!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much !
DeleteHappy belated birthday. Love that cake. What a neat idea. When I put videos in my posts, I upload them to youtube first. Then I find the embeded code, copy and paste it into my blog in the html mode.
ReplyDeleteWow! That sounds complicated and I want it on my blog for a few, not on YouTube for the world . . . That's just too much for my face to be out there. I'm not an introvert but I am on the shy side.
DeleteHappy, Happy Birthday friend! I'm glad you were celebrated so well. The watermelon "cake" is beautiful and thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are pretty too.
Thank you. I loved my watermelon cake. I'm blessed you're such a sweet sister-in-law 😇
DeleteHappy happy birthday dear friend. Now we're both the same age. Your cards are lovely ( just like the well-loved recipient) and the idea of a watermelon cake would never have occurred to me. 💖💖💖
ReplyDeleteIt never would have occurred to me either, she is so creative and I absolutely loved it.
DeleteHappy birthday, you've turned 80! Guess what, I'll be 80 next month too. Mmm, all those lovely cakes, and such pretty flowers.
ReplyDeleteI've been baking up a storm lately. Both those birthday cakes for friends then yesterday I did oatmeal raisin muffins for a Bible study and Wednesday night I'm making a creamsicle cake for a church function.
DeleteBeautiful flowers, I just love bringing in flowers from the garden to enjoy :) Wow those cakes look so yummy, so sad that you couldn't enjoy them too but how creative was the one your sister in law made you that is so neat and I bet tasted really good. I am glad to see you got my card :) Hope you enjoyed your special day! I have no idea how to upload a video, hopefully you can get some help with that :)
ReplyDeleteI hope so too. I wouldn't mind putting a video on my blog now and then. Ann made a comment of how she does it, but first she puts it on YouTube I really don't want to do that. I like a small personal audience, LOL
DeleteHappy Belated Birthday. What a clever idea of the watermelon birthday day. Looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhen I download a video for my blog I first download the video from my phone onto my computer. Then post it to my blog like I would a picture. There is an icon next to the picture one that is a video.
I can't seem to figure out how to get video from my phone onto the computer and I'm so afraid I'll push the wrong button and do something crazy.
DeleteI love the look of your flowers and a very happy birthday to you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much ♥️
DeleteHappy birthday, Connie! It looks like you had a wonderful celebration for a milestone birthday. The flowers in the jars are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet, thank you 🥰
DeleteOh my Connie - flowers and cakes galore. What a wonderful baker you are! YUMMY
DeleteThanks, I enjoy it, but it would be nice to enjoy eating them too. Maybe now and then, but saving that for more special events than my silly old birthday :)
DeleteHappy Birthday, Connie♥Many blessings have visited you on your special day! Love the flowers and the cakes♥Now onto another great year ahead for you♥
ReplyDeleteI'm counting them in decades now . . . next big birthday will be 90 and then I can look back and see how the Lord has grown in me. I know He's not finished. That doesn't mean I'll make it to 90, and that's okay too. . . . I'm just following His lead and enjoying His love :)
DeleteBeautiful flowers and cakes, Connie. Wishing you a happy milestone birthday.

Thank you so much ❤️
DeleteFirst of all, Happy 80th Birthday! What a wonderful blessing!! And I love your beautiful flowers and those cakes that you baked and couldn't eat are gorgeous! But that watermelon "cake" is really special indeed! Regarding your video, I usually have to send my photos and videos to my email address. Then I can download them to my computer from my email. Once they are downloaded from the email to the computer, you should be able to access them from blogger. sometimes I have issues with videos because they are too big of a file to send to email, and I can't remember what I end up doing, but try experimenting with that idea and see if you can make it work. I hope you can figure it out so we can see the video! Happy Birthday again!!! May God bless you with many more!
ReplyDeleteThanks I'm going to see if I can figure out how to do that. If I have time today I'll see if I can find a YouTube on how to put it into my email. Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.
DeleteHappy Birthday, Sweet Connie. And many morrrre! 🙂 Our times, now and forever, are in his loving hands. Loved all your beautiful flowers and cakes. The "fruit cake" is stunning. What a good idea. All year blessings to you!
