I was so pleased with this portrait of Mike and his beloved bear Ted, taken on holiday in 2021, that I decided to get a wooden puzzle made for Mike's birthday just before Christmas.
I was happy that Wentworth made such a splendid job of reproducing the photo (the additional gift wrapping was perfect too!), and Mike was thrilled to receive a truly unique jigsaw showing him in his favourite holiday location with his little pal. A good selection of birthday-themed whimsies (chosen instead of holiday-themed ones as they seemed more appropriate) made it the ideal gift for the man who has everything!
I made these sweet cookies for a birthday gift. All decorated with sugar icing. I personally love the two birthday gift's with dotted ribbons.

SCOUT: "WOW! Look! It's a beautiful beret! How wonderful! I feel so special!"
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "So you should Scout! It's your birthday!"
PADDY: "Look at the beautiful houndstooth it is made from and the pretty golden button on the top! It has a crest on it! You will feel very regal when you wear it!"
SCOUT: "Oh I will!" *Blushes pink beneath woollen plush.* "Thank you so much Paddy! Thank you so much Daddy!"
PADDY and DADDY: "You are very welcome birthday bear Scout!"
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
Cousin Paddington is a recent visitor to our family. Travelling all the way from London, he was caught in transit thanks to the Coronavirus pandemic, so it looks like he is stopping with us for a while. The more I look into his happy, smiling face, the more attached I am becoming to him.
Movies 1 - 5 Blue Tooth ... errr Bluray versions! I received the boxed set as a Birthday present from Marcus and family. I can't wait to sit down and drown myself in Harry Potter!
SCOUT: "Do you think it suits me?"
PADDY: "Oh yes Scout! You look very smart!"
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "Very Carnaby Street!"
SCOUT: "Very what, Cousin Paddington?"
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "Oh never mind, Scout! Come on, let's all sing Happy Birthday to our very special Birthday Bear Scout!"
PADDY, COUSIN PADDINGTON and DADDY: "Happy Birthday to you!"
PADDY, COUSIN PADDINGTON and DADDY: "Happy Birthday to you!"
PADDY, COUSIN PADDINGTON and DADDY: "Happy Birthday dear Scout!"
PADDY, COUSIN PADDINGTON and DADDY: "Happy Birthday to you!"
SCOUT: "Oh thank you everyone!" *Blushes pink beneath new beret and blush woollen fur.* "This is the bestest birthday EVER!"

This trinket box was a birthday present from someone who knows my passions! His head opens...lol!
I had to use a flash so he would come out the real color he is....silver.

Maybe this shot is a bit off topic. But since the name of the theme is speed I HAD TO post this shot.
As a birthday gift for my husband this week I've organized a ride with a Lamborghini Huracán - his favorite car. It was his lifelong dream to drive this car... And today was the day!
Though his expectations were pretty high from the start, they were exceeded by far when we started our ride... It was one of these experiences that cannot be described, you just need to be there... feel the excitement, the speed, the noises, the acceleration... This is not a car, this is a rocket!!! :D
Last time I saw my husband so happy was on our wedding day...))
We enjoyed every second of it!
Life is great!
Waiting to open a birthday gift...or any gift for that matter! I have always had a hard time waiting..not peaking...the anticipation nearly kills me. If you wrap it, and let me see it..I'm probably going to peak...just being honest ;) I'm pretty good at finding gifts too...so you have to be a stellar "hider" also!
Everyone who knows me knows I'm a HUGE Betsey Johnson fan! This year for my birthday I got 8 gifts that were from her collection! SPOILED!!!!
Happy Birthday to ME!
Betsey ROCKS!!
SCOUT: "Why don't you unwrap the gift Paddy?"
PADDY: "Because Scout, good manners dictate that you should always open the card first."
SCOUT: "Why is that Paddy?"
PADDY: "It's because the true care and love is put into the message written inside the card Scout."
SCOUT: "Oh!" *Puts paw to mouth thoughtfully.* "And I suppose then you know who the gift comes from too."
PADDY: "Well, there is that too."
PADDY: "Look! It's a card with me on it! It was taken whilst on an adventure at Veg Out Community Gardens in St Kilda. I was playing around these wonderful metal hoops which are great for little bears to swing around on. How clever to make this card just for me! I wonder what it says? Shall we find out?"
PADDY: "Hullo everyone! Do you know what? Bears have two birthdays. Do you know what else? Today is one of my birthdays! And do you know what else? Today is my Daddy's birthday too! Isn't that a wonderful coincidence!"

I got these silver Dr. Martens for my 15th birthday... SEVERAL years ago!
My first attempt at building in microscale, what a challenge! I built this for my co-worker Dan, who is a bigger LEGO nerd than myself, which is just fantastic. He is throwing a birthday/housewarming party that I sadly can't attend, but I figured that this might be a funny little gift for him. What do you think?

20200524_7238_7D2-40 Walking To Camp Bay (145/366)
I don't usually post pics of other's art but this painting has a bit of a back story to it.
Back at the start of the year (2020) we were invited to the opening of an art (painting) exhibition by local artist Janie Porter. Janie is the mother of Simon, a good friend of my two boys. They played cricket together for well over 12 years, and many Saturday evenings during the 2002-2011 period Simon would be at our place before the boys headed into town.
Winding back the clock to 2016-17, Simon got engaged to an American girl (from Iowa) and at the engagement party here, we finally met his parents. Janie said to us that if was good to finally meet Simon’s “weekend parents”.
Son Alastair and his partner (now wife) Jaime, went to USA for the wedding (in Dubuque, Iowa) in the northern summer of 2017.
Back to this year, we went out to the Little River Gallery (and Cafe) on 1st February (exhibition opening) and Alastair and Jaime wanted to buy me one of the works for my then upcoming 65th birthday. I selected this work as I know where the location is (on the road between Purau and Camp Bay). They paid for it, but couldn’t get the work till the exhibition closed in March.
Alastair texted Simon (lives in America now) to say they had purchased this particular piece and Simon replied that it was painted from a photo he took of his Mum and Aunt walking on the road, taken when he was last back in New Zealand.
Alastair and Jaime went to Australia in early March for ten days holiday and when they arrived back, their respective employers asked that they self isolate (work from home) for 14 days, and before that was completed the government locked the country down in Covid-19 Level 4 restrictions. The gallery/cafe wasn’t able to open till a couple of weeks ago, so it was only today (24/05/2020) that I got my birthday present after they drove out to Little River to collect the painting!

PADDY: "Now for the paper, Scout!"
SCOUT: "But it's such pretty paper Paddy, and Daddy has wrapped my present so well. It would be a shame to tear it."
COUSIN PADDINGTON: "Oh no Scout, you must tear the paper! It's a birthday tradition!"
SCOUT: *Looks guiltily between Paddy and Cousin Paddington.* "Oh... alright then. Here goes..." *Paper tears beneath trembling little woollen paws.*

Tux-IV has been in front of my lens so often that I thought he'd be excited about my new pancake lens. But instead... He thought I said, "Oh boy, pancakes" when I opened the package. I guess I'd better go make him a stack of pancakes, huh?
Thank you for all the good wishes and have a great, cliché sorta day ♥
This is full of clichés, right? Camera, Tux-IV, food, layers, textures! What more do you want? HCS! (I love "rolling up July")
Words cannot express the happiness I´ve felt when I´ve received this package full of love from my dear Sugarelf. ♥
The super big Halloween bag alone would be enough to be a perfect gift for me!
The stickers are the coolest ever, as well as the beautiful pumpkin card and the cute bat napkins.
The big spider with the cobweb is spectacular! I´ll have to display it all year long!
The pumpkin silken scarf is so soft and beautiful, so perfect for me. As well as the Frankenstein´s monster socks. I´m in love with Halloween socks ant these are perfect.
The big skeleton chocolate and I are going to spend a really, really good time together... especially me! XD
I will never, never, be able to thank you enough, my kitty magician that brings happiness to the world! ♥
PADDY: "Look Scout! Golden birthday candles, and..." *Gasps and puts paw to mouth.* "Dark chocolate teddy bear lollipops!"
SCOUT: "Hoorah Paddy! Happy birthday! Grumbly tummy Paddy! Grumbly tummy Daddy!" *Rubs tummy even more vigorously.*
PADDY: "Hullo everyone! Do you know what? Bears have two birthdays. Do you know what else? Today is one of my birthdays! And do you know what else? Today is my Daddy's birthday too! Isn't that a wonderful coincidence!"

... and it all began with a soccer ball going estray, hitting a gilded wooden sculpture... the gilding cracked, fell off, was saved and recycled: it is shining in rays again in this birthday collage, multi media, which went back to the maker of the sculpture -- 24 karat gold living a new life!

My niece bought me a Mr Messy T Shirt so it's only right that I did a SP wearing it.
Not easy, had to move all the furniture out the living room, prefocus where I thought I'd be and set the lights out, then try not to show too many chins. I don't do smiling. Cropped for composition.
