Anything Goes and Our New Surprise Party Guest!

Welcome to another great challenge here at Seize the Birthday! Before I get to this week's challenge, we have a new Surprise Party Guest joining us for the next two months. We would like to welcome  Anita Bowden to STB. We are so happy to have you with us! Please won't you help us welcome Anita by visiting her wonderful blog and leaving her some love?

Here is a bit more about Anita!

Hi, I'm Anita and I live in Torquay on the south west coast of England.  Since childhood I've always been creative and would always be making something.  I used to spend a lot of time doing cross-stitch then about twelve years ago I bought some card making kits.  I loved them but as time went by I wanted to be more creative.  I found details of some blogs in a card making magazine and was hooked.  Neet & Crafty was born at the beginning of 2013 and I absolutely love the craft and card making community.  My poor bank balance doesn't love it so much but you only live once so why not spend time and money doing something that you enjoy, eh!  I work full-time as an Audio Secretary for a Chartered Loss Adjuster so this hobby is the perfect escapism in my spare time.  

Okay, It's time for our very popular 
"Anything Goes" 

Just remember to keep it a Birthday Theme!
