Wow here it is 23rd November already and only one week to go until my birthday yes I was born on a Wednesday as well. My mother always reminded my brothers and sisters the days of the week that we were born. It was one way to teach us the days of the week. I don't know how she kept track as I'm the youngest of 7 and my eldest brother turns 70 at the end of next month, his birthday is 30th December but we are celebrating on New Year's Eve.
Mum recited this poem to us as little children.
Mum recited this poem to us as little children.
Mondays child is fair of face,
Tuesdays child is full of grace,
Wednesdays child is full of woe,
Thursdays child has far to go,
Fridays child is loving and giving,
Saturdays child works hard for his living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.

The reason why this came to mind is because I was designing Gary's birthday invites and I wanted to see what day he was born on "He's born on a Tuesday" I wondered if mum wanted a child born on each day of the week seeing there is 7 of us? I'll never know. But when I worked it out and put the dates in the computer YES we were all born on different days of the week pretty spooky as that wouldn't have been planned in those days.
Gary Tuesday
Gillian Thursday

I really enjoyed working with this image and loved embellishing my cards. I was only going to make the one Black and White card, as I thought that the paper looked very Japanese. Then I found the Red and Gold paper and I just couldn't resist making the second card.

Take care everyone have a wonderful week crafting.
