Howdy and welcome!
I'm deep in the throes of re-organizing and purging in my 'winter' craft studio. Not much fun, but I'll sure be happy when I can focus on making art. While I'm busy with that task and up to my neck in errant art supplies, here's a spread I created in an altered book art journal - from last fall.

My 60th birthday is rapidly approaching and the sentiment on the left page reflects my feeling perfectly this year. (Sting and I are nearly twins - his 60th birthday is a few days after mine! I'm a big Sting fan - and going with another couple to his concert in November. Sting is releasing his 25th anniversay CD collection on my birthday. I'm also a huge Star Wars fan - and George Lucas is releasing his Blu-ray collection of the Star Wars saga on on my birthday. Isn't that so nice of those guys to give such great 60th birthday presents? :-)
The past few weeks I've been assembling a list of 60 items (places to go, things to buy) - one item for each year on planet Earth! I'm also adding ideas to the back half of an altered book art journal that I started in May of this year - to chronicle our 35th wedding anniversary celebration.
What do you do on your milestone birthdays? Do you plan to do anything special to celebrate your milestone birthdays? I'd love to hear what you've done for your milestone birthdays.
Thanks for stopping by. Please take some time to look around my blog - there are all sorts of neat things to see - and come back again soon.
Peace,
LuLu

i celebrated a friend's sixtieth birthday in june on a safari in africa! he invited several friends and we had a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime experience together.
50 was my milestone. I honestly did not expect to see it. My favorite aunt dropped dead from a massive heart attack at 48. I was so traumatized by it, I just knew I too would drop dead...When I made 50...I hit my goal of dropping 50 lbs. I took a whole year to lose it....and change my diet. When 60 rolled a round....It was much ado...yada....I thank God for every single day and vow to live each one to the fullest. Wishing you the very best on this very special milestone dear heart......
