Happy Birthday, my Mother-in-law :)

...

This is a birthday card for my mother-in-law. I would love to use my new butterfly embossing die cut for her.

It was very simple but it took a little bit long time for me to design it. Someone says she can make a card in just 5 minutes but I am not that kind of person. :( Card making needs to take time for me but I enjoy it: thinking of the person who will be glad to get this card, matching different colors and shapes, putting my time, energy, care and love altogether for him/her.

My mother-in-law's birthday is November 19th (on Lunar calendar). It was the first time for me to celebrate it with her in Korea. I wanted to do something special for her. So my husband and I planned to prepare a birthday dinner for her. She has just 2 sons, not any daughter. It would be the first exprience and surprise for her to have dinner prepared by her children. I cooked a spicy hot seafood rice-noodle soup, thin fried fish, and Choongmoo-Kimbaap. My husband Chulyoung was a big help for me. I couldn't imagine to do it all without him! Making special birthday cake was another surprise but she didn't have an oven at home. My husband bought beautiful and delicious cake. It was a fresh fruit cake with cream. I hope we will enjoy a homemade cake when she visits at my place in the future.
She loved my card, a fruit cake and dinner for her. Even seafood rice-noodle soup was overcooked and tasted not good but she finished her all dish for me. Thanks, mom! I love you! Happy birthday to you again!

Thank you, Lord for giving me this nice mother-in-law!
