Anos da Jeanete
Foi uma festa lindíssima, vieram os amigos de uma vida.Não pude estar presente, tive muita pena mas lembrei-me de criar este album com as gavetas como prenda para a aniversariante.È complicado ofereçer uma prenda quando se jà tem tudo(mais um creme? um perfume?…)prefiro hoge em dia realizar um “scrap”.Como a filha Tisha estava a preparar tambem uma sessão de fotos, foi complicado conseguir as fotos mas lá consegui em 2 dias (com algum strechch)!!! porque ofereçer depois da festa de anos perde a graça. Sei que a Jeanete adorou, que bom……..foi feito com muita amizade e carinho.Tenho muita admiração pela mulher do meu sogro, pela sua força, coragem e positivismo perante as dificuldades da vida. è sem dúvida uma mulher de armas, cheia de vida e de alegria parabéns jeanete obrigado pela sua amizade Enjoy, create… be happy Life is short
