And one of the very nicest things about birthday is how we celebrate with wonderful friends, great food and laughter!
As we observe your birthday today,
Your cake and gifts don't matter much.
These common things aren't really you,
Ribbons, paper hats and such.
We celebrate a person who
Brings happiness to everyone,
Someone who gives more than she gets,
And fills our lives with joy and fun.
So Happy Birthday, and many more!
We hope you make it to a hundred and two,
Because we always want to have
The special pleasure of knowing you.
Happy birthday, Virgie !!
With rain falling thought i would go through some old pics, this is a cute one i wish A was looking to the camera but i love their grins and how one year apart A has front teeth and J doesn't.
I saw a card at the LSS earlier today with this kind of flower, so I wanted to try it out. I stamped the Screen Shadow in pink a couple times, then stamped the DB Flourish over it in brown. Then I flipped the cardstock over and stamped the Raindrop Background on the backside. I punched out 8 circles and folded a "V" in them (for the petals) and arranged to create the flower. I adhered the flower to a small acetate circle to make it easier for me to maneuver. I stamped the DB Flourish again on a piece of cream cardstock, highlighting a part of the flourish in green, then added faux stitching. I trimmed a little off the bottom edge of the card to accommodate the flourish sticking out the top of the card. Thanks for looking!

Burmese boys just want to have fun. These guys live in a Buddhist run orphanage in Mandalay, and they are peering out of their classroom window laughing at this photographer. The thanaka paste on their faces is a unique feature of Myanmar culture. What belies all that joy and laughter is a tale of sadness and tragedy. I saw hundreds of children at this orphanage (this was just one orphanage among several in the city), and was told that many of them were sent here from Myanmar's conflict zones. They are orphans because their parents were killed in the war and their villages destroyed.
"Grown-ups love figures. When you tell them that you have made a new friend, they never ask you any questions about essential matters. They never say to you, "What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies?" Instead, they demand: "How old is he? How many brothers has he? How much does he weigh? How much money does his father make?" Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him."
~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince, 1943, translated from French
This little toy is more than fifty years old. It belongs to my mother and it was her companion when she was a child. She took him everywhere she had to go, he protected her in good and in bad times. So this little guy is filled with lots of memories, with laughter and tears. Today he has a honorable place beside her favourite books and she protects him :)
Just a spontaneous moment, full of light and genuine joy. It's in these unplanned instants that true beauty often shines brightest.

From the Radiolab site: "We all laugh. This hour of Radiolab asks why.
If you look closely, you'll find that humor has very little to do with it. We ask what makes us laugh, and how it affects us. Along the way, we tickle some rats, listen in on a baby's first laugh, talk to a group of professional laughers, and travel to Tanzania to investigate an outbreak of contagious laughter."
