Surprise Party

Last Saturday my cousin Eilat had her surprise 60th birthday party that her loving husband and her three kids had given her. This event turn to be also for me a reunion of the Shmaryahu family, most of my cousins and second cousins were there that I have not seen for at list 10 years or longer.

The day of the party I realized that I didn't have a card made for my cosine's birthday. My dad's printer didn't work so I had to improvise and get creative with the little materials I can find around the house. I found an old Israeli Magazine, a piece of paper and a glue stick. I started by cutting and gluing a pretty image and words that said: Eilat is 60 Mazal-Tov! Inside; I hand wrote the dedication to her. I gave her one of my creations a pair of earrings that are made from vintage shoe buttons and pearls.

At the above picture you can see Eilat's surprise reaction to her party. She thought that she is going with her father to an evening of Yemenite songs that he invited her to join him.
