Today is Carol's Birthday, and a group of us decided a little party was in order! Do stop over at her blog, Just Me: c, and wish her a happy birthday today! Everyone needs a party on their very own special day! Now. First we need a few things to get in the party mood... I'm thinking that since Carol's weather has included Blizzard conditions as of late, we should start the party here:
or maybe here:
Or perhaps a little place like this...
But wait!!!!...This looks like it will hold all of us party goers!! WooHooooooooooo
And while we're celebrating Carol, we'll need something to make a toast or two:
Mmmmm....But wait! There's more!!
And we might need some of this, too:
or this...
However, unless I win the lottery, we'll all just have to dream we were all together celebrating with Carol! I hope, Carol, that you were able to envision yourself in these paradises, and that your birthday is filled with as much warmth as all this tropical sunshine! Happy Birthday!
Now it wouldn't be a party in our world without a card, so....
There are several of us wishing Carol a Happy Birthday. I'm hoping that this list contains everyone, and that all the links are 'clickable'. Be sure to visit the rest of the well wishers, and naturally, go and give Carol your best wishes too!
I wanna go on vacation! Love all the tropical pictures that coordinate so wonderfully with your fabulous card! Love all the blooms!

ReplyDeleteOH MY GOODNESS!! You've organized the MOST AWESOME GIFT EVER! Wow, wow, wow - I'm touched, honoured, delighted, in tears (good tears of joy!!) and all around feeling incredibly special! In the midst of Christmas hectic, you found time to organize a party (LOVE those photos...beach...beach drinks...cake...WANT!!) AND make a beautiful stunning card! "Envisioning the tropical paradise" - oh yes, your goal is fully accomplished. Bev, with allll my heart: THANK YOU! Once again, I'm reminded that "finding you" was one of THE best discoveries of my year - and continuing our friendship one of my top goals for hopefully a long, long time to come!

Thank you SO much, Bev, for organizing this special treat for our lovely Miss Carol!! Those photos have me wanting to take a vacation of my own RIGHT.NOW!!! Such a fab way to intro this special post!! And the card is just lovely - I can tell from Carol's comments she has the biggest, happiest smile on her face this morning, all thanks to you!! I have to apologise too for completely neglecting to thank you on my own post!! Sheesh!!! Didn't even link to your blog, or to Carol's. Good grief! I guess I will blame it on my rookie status on the blog hop scene (although you would think common sense would prevail regardless!!). Thank you again for doing this, Bev!!
