50th Birthday card

My brother in law is going to be 50 next week so I have made him a card and a little extra!  He likes chess, checked shirts, wind surfing, music and plays a mandolin.  If you click on the card you can see it much better.

I used A4 card folded in half length ways and the 50 is on a paper spring.

I also made him this little jar.

I saw this on a blog the other day and had to shamelessly copy it.

I nearly forgot - this arrived today.

MIL won him at the day centre and gave him to Holly but I really think he'd like to belong to me.  I'm sure Melman would enjoy his company at the retreat too.
