Gus's Birthday

 

Good morning everyone and welcome to my blog.  Today I'm sharing a card with you which I made recently for one of my eldest nephews who turned 50 yes 50.  I was the youngest of seven children and this is my brothers son who is 20 years older than me, so I might be Paul's Aunty but we are of similar age and grew up together.  Both of his son's are older than my two boys but again all of very similar ages 20, 16,15,14 our younger two bys have 4 months between them.
