Marlene's sister Linda has organised a surprise party for Marlene's 50th birthday, as you can see from the photos below, she was completely stunned when she entered a small room where we were all waiting for her, I was glad she didn't have a heart attack, lol.

Linda is a professional wedding and events organiser and the party was superb. It was a high tea with beautifully decorated table, floating roses, yummy food and a gorgeous birthday cake.
As a present I made a small picture for Marlene. This is the packaging.

Here is the picture. It started with little houses and it grew to a wooden block with all other stuff on it. I was glad to use my vintage keys which I bought on a Polish ebay and the blue egg beads which I bought during my last trip to Melbourne.
A close up. I used 47 upholstery tacks for this picture, last night Ross told me to stop banging as I was going to wake up the neigbhours, not to mention that he couldn't sleep either. I had to quickly finish the nailing this morning, before leaving for the party.
