Oh my I would definitely say it is party time!! Charti's 18th and your 21st birthday just one day apart!
Congratulations! I will try my best to remember this!
I can feel the excitement in the air!! oh it's just fantastic!!:-)
Wow I am in both lists...that's fantastic. Thank you so much for the mention Kim!
I haven't forgotten about TAD! I have a weekend post planned announcing and thanking you!
Also my satellite is working just fantastic!! I was actually here approximately 40 minutes ago. But, of course, I froze up, had to shut down and come back!
So my visit and drops will definitely be selective today!

Happy day and big hugs!

Happy Birthday, Kim!!! I didn't realize yours was coming up too, and moreover, I didn't know you had reached 21! How nice to be so young! Well, at least you can THINK young.

Wow! You have been busy! I love the Degas paintings and I just know the mini portraits are going to be gorgeous. I love seeing your work.
Sorry I hasven't been around much but I have been busy too. I seem to have found a niche making personalized photo albums. I really love it!
So many things to celebrate - hope everything goes wonderfully well and you all have a ball! Happy birthday to you both!
Thank you for the shout out in the Top Droppers list! I always enjoy visiting your blogs. Hope you have a very happy birthday...however old you may be! ;o)

I keep forgetting about my upcoming birthday ...which is a good thing lol
yes Alex is coming as the joker (Charlotte's party is fancy dress) and Mum is coming as Ma Barker...machine gun and all!!!
thanks the mini portraits will keep me sane ;)
oh thanks Amy..
yes I actually had a choice with Charlotte's birth date nearly 18 years ago as I had a caesarian and I went for the day after my birthday ;)
Charlie was 6 weeks early and weighed 6lbs 1oz the opposite to Alexander who was a natural birth and weighing 8lb 8 ozes... two very different but wonderful births :))
hugs to you and your petit tomatoes ;) :))

hi Ayie
thanks...I'm hoping to get started with the mini portraits tomorrow...looking forward to a bit of R and R painting ;)
Hello Kim! thank you so much for the EC credits. I was down to zero so they were very much needed and appreciated.
BTW...I got an email from a local woman wanting to date me. She sent me an extensive detailed report of how she could make me happy.
Oh dear, now every time I go into town I will be wondering who it is!
That will teach me to just sign up for a widget and not read all of the details.
Don't get me wrong. she sounded like a lovely person and will make some one a wonderful companion. But, I still don't think Walter would quite understand a situation like this if it were to occur!
Happy day when you arise!!:-)
hi kim.. just come by say hi.. son want me play with him..

Hi Kim,
I finally got a thank you posted.
http://shinade.blogspot.com/2009/08/berry-abstract-transfomation-from.html
And some other little goodies!!
I apologize it has taken so long but I have been fairly severe pain for the last few weeks.
I didn't want to be a whiner so I haven't said much. But, the last 2 days were really bad and I finally had to go my primary DR.
I have a pinched sciatic nerve! so that's why I haven't been to visit lately.
I haven't been online hardly at all.
Now I am on some pretty strong pain medication, steroids, and an anti-inflammatory pill.
I am, to say the least a little woozy!!
I had X-rays today and have to go back for an MRI after we get the pain under control!!
So please accept my apologies for being so late in posting my thank you.
I had an image saved for the post and now it's up!
I even loaded my Poser program back in today. you have inspired me to start playing around in it again also!!
I just need $129 bucks for an upgrade...my version is 5 years old.
Oh when you pop over please tell me what color your eyes are. Also will you please email me a copy of your avatar?
sunshinezdelight@yahoo.com A 250 to 300 pixel wide will do just fine...i don;t need a great big image!!
I'm not telling why...because it might not work!!
Last but not least.....no more emails...LOL!!!
jackie XX'S:-)
oh yes as Marzie would add...I dropped my EC and I also clicked through to go visit Lynda!!:-)
Had to stop by and send you a Very Merry Birthday Wish Kim. Yes it's party time, and hope you have a great time with yours and your daughters. Wishing you a wonderful year ahead!!! :):)
Oh my I do seem to have trouble with your clock widget. Now I have gone and mis-read the date.
I posted your Happy Birthday too soon.

I thought it was this weekend. but, I am on some crazy meds right now and capable of making a disaster out of anything.
I am headed back to bed!
