Enough Birthday Celebrating?!

Every year I joke that I celebrate my birthday for the whole month.  Well this year I really HAVE been!  And when I realized that I didn't have photos from all of the lunches and dinner celebrations this month, I thought YIKES! - it's time to bring this madness to a close *hee hee* . . .

That sweet little art doll in the front of the photo above came all the way from the Altered Inker - Minxy in the U.K.  . . .


On the back of one of the wings Minxy wrote:  "She is strength - She is Brightness.  She is a reminder to always stay strong, even when things seem bleak and to see the bright side to life even in the darkest of times".  

This special art doll is now hanging over my workspace as a constant reminder that every day may not be good but there's good in every day!  

I hope everyone reading this will find good in their day today. X O

If anyone deserves a month of celebrating, YOU do. Those cupcakes look fantastic - bet they tasted so too.
Oh, and thanks for the tip you left re the vaseline (that will get them thinking, lol!)
