Our friend Mary will be 99 next Friday. Last week I was joking with her that her birthday card ought to show a picture of a '99' which is a soft ice cream in a cone with a chocolate flake bar stuck in it. Not having such a picture, yesterday I made instead a pretty card with daisies on it. Last night I had an email newsletter from Form-A-Lines who publish patterns for stitched cards and lo and behold! one of the new sets includes a 99! Fortunately the patterns are sold by direct download so I was able to stitch it today and am very pleased: not only do I have the perfect card for Mary but I also have a card ready made for a friend's birthday in a couple of weeks (I do need one for Saturday for which the daisies aren't suitable but I'll deal with that on Friday, my only free day this week).
What a fabulous idea Fiona and I'm sure it will be go down well with your friend. I hope you are going to buy her the real thing on her big day.

What a great idea Fiona, I'm sure your friend will love it. I've got that pattern but not got round to doing anything with it yet.
