Today is a lot of things...it's Farm Fresh Friday at The Greeting Farm, it's also the day that my AMAZING Design Team decided to pretend there were blogger problems and kick me out of admin. Surprisingly this didn't unnerve me as much as it NORMALLY would...because today is ALSO the day that I found out that I will be published in Paper Crafts magazine for the FIRST TIME (Jan issue :) and ALSO the day that my cousin came to visit me from Chicago. I'd say it was a pretty good day for starters!!!
It only got better when I found out WHY "blogger" was having this little issue....today is my birthday. Apparently my TGF peeps had a little something up their sleeve...and well...you'll just have to check out the TGF Blog and Club Anya Blog (wince, LOL!) to see WHY!
The card I have for you today is appropriately titled "FRIENDS FOREVER". That is exactly what I hope to have with these girls. You guys have TOUCHED MY HEART in ways I can't even explain and now MY post is late because I was crying too much to see the computer screen, LOL! (add to that Marie was really trying to distract me til the stroke of midnight, LOL!)
I don't know what else to say...I am really floored by the display of generosity in spirit and the beautiful things that you guys have to say...add to that all the Facebook messages I'm already getting and emails too...and I haven't even gone to bed yet, LOL. I am really excited about ALL of it.
THANK YOU----from the bottom of my VERY. FULL. HEART. I have a lot of reading to do today on your blogs...and from what I've read so far, I don't have words yet...just love. SO MUCH LOVE.
Please do me the honor today of checking out these AMAZINGLY talented dear hearts and see what they've been keeping from me, haha :
Love you all!!!!!! I hope that I can make someone smile today as much as you've made ME smile...I adore this day even more now. What a beautiful bunch of hearts you all have!

I was so happy to see that you got picked up for PC and then to find out it's your bday to boot and I just find that good things happen to really GOOD people. You are an amazing designer, mother, friend & bright light to any who are lucky to know you. You really inspire me and I look up to you in more ways than you know (hope that doesn't sound stalker-ish, LOL). Anyway, I hope you are having a beautiful day with your family!
