Happy Birthday Kara


SURPRISE
Today is Kara's birthday, and a few of us are getting together with a special blog hop birthday party.  Kara has many friends out in the blogosphere (probably in real life, too).  She follows so many blogs and always leaves words of kindness and inspiration wherever she goes.  Her cards are always drop dead gorgeous--and her Friday Inspiration Files are some of my favorite posts to read.

So, what kind of a birthday party would be best for a gal like Kara?

 Casual birthday?
Glamorous birthday?


American Sign Language Happy Birthday?




How about a very, very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!


Happy Birthday Kara.  I hope you have a wonderful day.  Look at all the people that want to come to your party and wish you a happy birthday.
Joyce (that's me)

    Your post totally made me smile, Joyce! Thanks again for organizing this!
    And your card is gorgeous! I've only used my Dahlias once, but need to try them again-- they were just to tricky to line up!
