i did not plan on turning 43 today, no sirree.
i planned on staying 42 for another year and then turning 44 next year.
to me it seemed a perfectly perfect cunning plan.
however it would appear my 'lads of three' have other plans...
whilst i wait for their return to the shed this afternoon,
i shall spend my happy day wisely doing what i like to do best...
feeling a little crafty.

A very happy birthday to you. It was my 40th on Sunday so I did what I do best - went out for lunch! We had a Sunday roast at my favourite pub and then came back home for a snuggle on the sofa with our new four legged friend. Hope you enjoyed your day of crafting. xx

It's not so bad being 43! Just don't think about it too much, that's what I do and now I can't quite remember if I'm 46 or 48 (shoulders shrugging) Just keep having lots of crafting fun!

Ah, as W. S. Gilbert so wisely said "She may very well pass for 43 in the dusk with the light behind her". Happy birthday, dear Tif, 43 is nothing, believe me.

P.s. I spy a little present from Speedy....he has returned?
Pps. I shall be emailing you some pics as soon as I load them up! :o)
A very many happy returns to you Tif - 43 of them in fact. :-)
Just a quickie if I may; I received your book a couple of days ago (pre-ordered and very swiftly posted to old blighty) - it, my dear, is an absolute delight. It is honest, well-written, inspiring and completely charming. You should be extremely proud. I read it from cover to cover last night - the last time I did that with a book was, ahem, some years ago. Keep being you and don't ever change.

PS. I lived in Shillington when you were about 8 years old - we used to shop at Hitchin market too. Aah, nostalgia ...
*H*A*P*P*Y* * *B*I*R*T*H*D*A*Y*!*!*!* to you, Ms. Tif!
Sounds like you have 3 great guys to make the day special for you. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Happiest of Happy Birthdays to you :)
Congratulations!

Happy Birthday Tiff! Have a lovely day, doing exactly what you like, making lovely things!

Hippo, Birdy, Two Ewes, Hippo, Birdy, Two Ewes.........
Love the plan Tif, unfortunately they never seem to go the way we expect.
I was always going to stay forty something, but when I got to forty nine, I had run out of numbers so then came the ----- something.
I'm living proof that it's not as painful as it sounds,
Best wishes for a wonderful day and the coming year.

Happy Happy Birthday, believe me 53 is worse, especially when instead of getting flowers or choccies or a girly lunch out you get pancreatitis on your birfday(I'm not whinging - it was a great way to kick start my diet)
Enjoy every minute of your day, I hope you get lots of love and attention and cuddles.

oh tif happy happy birthday! i have a friend who thought all one year she was 37 when she was only 36....she REALLY did...! and i must say, i must RAVE that the book is so far past divine they have not yet invented a word to describe the divine-ness of it....i am spending all my time in the big chair glued to the pages...in love!
Why...Happy 43rd Tif! Hope it's sunshiny peaceful in your neck of the woods.
tif, so glad to hear you've found a perfect way to spend your day. 43 is a delightful age, you will no doubt make wonderful things at this year.

Happy Birthday, wish all the happiness for all your 43 year....
Congratulations, hope you had a nice day. I received your book on your birthday yesterday. I love it, I enjoyed my evening with reading and looking at the beautiful pictures.
Have a very lovely birthday Tif, I adored my 40's but am feeling a little surprised at edging into my 50's..... but I hope to be living proof that a new life can begin at whatever age your birth certificate insists on telling you that you are :)
Happy Birthday Tif, have a wonderful day!
Happy happy birthday dear lady. Have fun crafting xxxx
