SURPRISE!!!!
Today a small army of us are getting together to belatedly celebrate one of the sweetest gals in blog land--Marybeth of Marybeth's Time for Paper. She is such a talented creative force, and always takes the time to leave encouraging comments wherever she goes. If I was a little bit more on the ball, we would not be celebrating several weeks late. However.....better late than never, and the lateness certainly adds to the surprise.
So, let's start with some non-fat cupcakes..
Of course, it wouldn't be a blog hop without a card.
Please hop around to see all the other participants in Marybeth's Belated Birthday Blog Hop.
Those cupcakes are so adorably yummy! I think I want one with my morning coffee! Lol! What a breakfast that would be and a lovely way to kick off Happy Birthday wishes for our sweet Marybeth! Your beautiful purple birthday card is gorgeous! Love how you inlaid the pretty flower!
