my special day!

My kids have a Dora video that talks about it being "someone's special day" (which wouldn't be complete without an annoying can't-get-it-out-of-my-head-now song...) My birthday is January 1st and it often goes a bit unnoticed at my house...not to mention it being a holiday and right after Christmas and us being on the other side of the world from family...sigh....and my love-language is decidedly 'receiving gifts'...! Soooooo......as long as I can remember, July 1st, my half-birthday, has been "my special day." Quirky...but for some reason it works for me - a quiet little warm personal reflective celebration in the middle of the year. So today - woo hoo! I got to give away a fun blog prize for my 20,000th hit, and I won a little shopping spree over at smARTworks for my card contest entry!

  1. Happy Birthday! I think that is great! I am seriously thinking about moving my Birthday too. It is just to close to Fathers Day. This year it was on Fathers Day. I would think that Jan. 1st would be a rough one alright. So again...Happy Birthday!
    Your cards are always so beautiful!
