Once again joining Annie with her smiles. Today is just a week after my birthday so it is the day I took down my lovely birthday cards. It is such a shame to have them put into a drawer or disposed of like any other piece of card so I usually give them to a friend who turns them into cards for a nursing home where her brother resides. She makes quite a bit of money for the residents by doing this and the residents can also buy some beautiful cards at good prices.
I thought I would share the handmade ones with you all and hope they make you smile as you admire the work that ha gone into them.

Chris, Christine, Darlene, Dot, Enid
Gill, Hazel, Jacqui, Janet
Jeannie, June, Liz, Lorraine
Mary, Mo, Nikki, Renate
Sue, Margaret and finally Wendy
Am sure you will have enjoyed these as much as I have - and I hope they have put a smile on your faces like they have mine all week. And now, off to see Annie and the other 'smiles' for this week. See you over there.

A belated happy birthday to you!
Oh what beautiful hand made cards! A treasure for sure. Lucky you.
My birthday is the 23rd and I am not expecting many cards. My mother has sent me one (not opened yet of course) and I am hoping my sister will remember. I love opening my cards in bed upon waking up.
Have a great week,
Hugs,

Gorgeous cards Neet and what a wonderful way of using them. Hope they make lots of money from them.
Have a great week.

Goodness you got a LOT of beautiful cards. I'm lucky to get one on my birthday, and two if I'm lucky. Happy belated birthday, dear. Sorry I missed it.
I love the one with keys. It made me sit up and smile.
Have a lovely weekend, because it's no longer Friday in your world.
Bleubeard sends love and Squiggles wants to know who Neet is. I tried to explain, but he's a bit slow (grin).
I've really enjoyed seeing your lovely cards and now you have a record of them all to look back on. What a great idea.
Happy belated birthday and have a wonderful week

Gorgeous cards, Neet, and so many! I don't think I even know that many people LOL! Our birthdays must be very close - mine was on the 6th. We're definitely fellow Pisces then! Happy belated! :)
What a lovely set of cards Neet, and all so different and precious. And a very belated Happy Birthday from down under :-)
Blessings
