Celebrate a 74th Birthday with Simple Stories Happy New Year

Celebrate a 74th Birthday with Simple Stories Happy New Year. Last week we celebrated my husband’s Birthday. I fell in love with him when he was 41. Now he is 74, and I still love him. How can we have been together for so long?

I should start by reminding you that he HATES having his photo taken, so I was kind this year. All I did was take pictures of the main courses we chose when I took him out to celebrate. We went to one of our favourite local restaurants. It is never cheap, but the food is amazing and the staff are always fantastic.

I needed to use some special paper for this layout. I remembered that I had bought the Simple Stories Happy New Year mini kit in a clearance sale. Happily I found it and it is perfect to record this special day.

Many of the stickers work well for any celebration. I just pulled the ones that didn’t talk about New Year. I trimmed some of them to make them occasion appropriate.

I need to add the journaling still. I like to take my time on that. Rushing can lead to mistakes. I hope you have enjoyed this layout and will take a look at the video. Remember Simple Stories Happy New Year can be used for other occasions.

I am being realistic and we have reset my Personal Bests for during this time in my life. But each week back at the gym is increasing those Personal Bests, which is great for the ego. It's all about being realistic.
