One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

A Special Birthday!

Edited because I am on vacation and apparently so is my brain!!
Darnell's birthday was July 2nd...I did mail her a card and I am sure she got it on her birthday, but then I totally forgot to post it here!  Sorry Darnell...my brain is fried...here in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, on the lake with 12 family members in a three bedroom condo!  some days are pretty wild and crazy, but the kiddos live in the lake...Let me tell you though, when they come dripping out at 9:30 at night, they sure sleep good!


Happy Birthday Darnell!!
In honor of this special day,
I have a special card to share with you!
Don't you just love "Hammy"?  
I am not sure if this is his right color, but I thought he was pretty cute.
And I think the Red Velvet cake looked pretty yummy too!

Happy Birthday, Dear Darnell,
thank you for bringing such joy and laughter into this blog land of ours.
I love your stories and love getting to know you through your stories!  Have a most fantabulous day EVER!
Heart Hugs,
Colleen

Aaah, Colleen, this is so nice of you! I really appreciate that you took time away from your incredible family vacation to do a dedicated post for me and Hammy! You totally nailed his color and I wish you could see him busting his buttons over the fact someone featured him so brilliantly!! We are both blushing crimson over your wonderful words! We love you, too! Keep on having fun with those precious kids in one of the most beautiful places on earth! We are off to the bakery in search of cupcakes now!! Yummo!! MWAH! Hugs, Darnell

What a wonderfully perfect card for Darnell!! No wonder Hammy is so excited to be front and center and acknowledged. Darnell is such a sweetie and so much fun. She has added so much to blogland and I think we all think of her as a friend. But, I feel the same about you. You always leave wonderful comments and I feel like we are friends too. I'm so happy you are getting to spend some quality time with the family. Sounds like bliss.
