ReplyDeleteHey BETTI thanks for coming by!! Its nice to know someone from Minnesota! And thank you for your sweet b-day message Betti!
DeleteSending wishes for your most blessed, joyful birthday EVER, Noela!! Hope it's full of wonderful treats, surprises, and time spent with your beautiful family (give Malachi a special cuddle from me)!! Your family is as blessed to have you as you are to have them!!
ReplyDeleteMarcia took the words right out of my mouth (LOL) - you're beautiful inside and out, Noela!! I SO love and appreciate you, your kind gentle spirit and loving ways, and your ALWAYS beautiful and enticing book reviews!! I'm praying God blesses me with the opportunity to meet you in person some day!!
Teresa, thanks for the wonderful poem and that beautiful cake!!
Many thankful cyber hugs being sent your way, Noela - I'm blessed to have you as a friend and sis-in-Christ!! Prayers for you and your family!!
Dear BONNIE, you are such a blessing to me!! SO glad you were able to share in my b-day celebrations! Thank you for your incredibly sweet and kind words, they really mean a lot to me! I'll be sure to give my little man a super big hug from 'Aunt' Bonnie. :-) Praying God's abundant blessings upon you, and thank you Bonnie for being you... A very special friend, encourager, and sister!
DeleteOh, so love this celebration for lovely Noela! The poem is perfect and I had to smile about her hair as that was the first thing that came to mind when I saw her photo above:) Noela has been such a blessing to me and many with her gracious, joyful spirit and testimony. Sister-in-Christ, indeed! I hope we meet up in person someday. If not here, up there. Praying you have many more birthdays to shine your own special light, Noela. Thanks for being you!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to meet up with you too LAURA... Wherever that might be! I know we both love our tea and scones so that will be a must, lol! It's so nice to see you here Laura, thank you so much for coming by to join in the party! And thank you also for your very sweet words!! Can't go without thanking you also for being YOU, thanking you for your sweet friendship, and thanking you for blessing and inspiring me with your incredible writing! x
DeleteLaura, I'm currently reading Love's Reckoning at Noela's recommendation, and it's wonderful! I can't lay it down. You've crafted a spellbinding story with fascinating, memorable characters. I'm so jealous! LOL! And now I consider myself a fan for life. Just sayin'. :)
DeleteMarcia, You are SO gracious! I'm thrilled you've met Silas and Eden (and probably want to spank Elspeth by now, or worse). THANK YOU for taking time for my books. HUGS and THANKS to dear Noela for linking us. That means so much. I should say that I just had a little "chat" with Noela on another site and she steered me to your books so I'm treating myself and ordering one this morning. I can hardly wait to go over and pick one out - it's a little like dessert for breakfast this morning! Please stay in touch. Again, it's a joy to think of you reading - or I should say, mutually reading each other:)
DeleteLaura, I'm just SO excited that Marcia is reading and loving one of my all-time favorite stories!!! Just know Marcia that I'll fight you for Silas however. LOL
DeleteLaura, Marcia has been having trouble replying back here and has asked me to pass on the message that she is very honored, though anxious, that you want to read her book. (I say, you'll LOVE them!) And that she wouldn't spank Elspeth, but she'd strangle her! :) She says you write the most dreamy romantic scenes (totally agree) and that she loves Silas and Eden together (AGREE!). :-)
Oh, so thankful for both your and Marcia's gracious words about LR. Love that "dreamy" stuff:) And I SO agree about Elspeth! I'm so excited to find another great author to read and know I'll enjoy Marcia's books very much. First one to order is Raider's Heart. The covers are gorgeous! Thanks again to you both for being here and being so encouraging. Have a blessed week, everyone!
DeleteHappiest of Birthdays!!! What a fun way to celebrate - beautiful cake (even 0 calories!) ;) purple punch, what more could you ask for?! Love the family photo. Are all your kids taller than you? Beautiful family!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much SUSAN!! :-) Having heaps of fun here with all these wonderful people and I'm SO glad you could make it too! Yes, don't you love the idea of such delicious drink and food with 0 calories?! Perfect for birthdays!! You're right, my kids are all much taller than I! And I used to think 'I' was tall, lol. Not anymore. Unless I'm standing near hubby. ;)
DeleteFelicitous salutations on this grand day! (Though by now I suppose it is past for you). God bless and grant you a wonderful year, full of dreams developing and coming to pass!

Nope it's still my birthday here in Australia, RACHEL! And will still be when you wake up on the morning of the 6th as it'll be the evening of the 6th here then. :-) Thank so much for your beautiful blessings!! x
DeleteAlicia & I wish you a very happy birthday. I am with the Motley Crew. Hope you had a spectacular day. And that punch looks so good and refreshing. How did you make it?
ReplyDeleteWell, the punch is a secret VIC and ALICIA... In fact, it's so secret, I have no clue how it was made! ;) It's so sweet of you to come by to wish me a happy birthday, thank you so much!! Having a great day!
DeleteHappy Birthday my Aussie friend. May these wishes have no end. GOD in Heaven, God above. Please protect this friend I love . Sent with smile :) Sealed with a kiss. And here's wishing all of GOD's blessings on my friend whose reading this. So glad to be at your party and this cake is so beautiful, as is your heart. I would love some punch. Wishing you many more Happy Birthdays, Maxie
ReplyDeleteAww wow MAXIE, what wonderful poetry there!! Thank you for your ultra sweet words Maxie, and thanks even more for your friendship! Love you!! Oh and have as much punch as you'd like, the contents are endless I hear! :-)

Delete2 (Texas friends) = 1 (Trip to Texas)
ReplyDeleteI call that persuasion math. :)
That's pretty convincing math MARCIA, lol! Now, all I gotta do is work some of that math into our finances and we'll be there!! Wow, how cool it would be to see you, and your great state!! :-)
DeleteNOELA!!!!!!! Since March, I've all but banned myself from blogs and FB except for VERY special occasions, and YOUR BIRTHDAY is definitely one, my friend, so I'm peeking out to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of my favorite people!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW, your family is GORGEOUS (uh ... naturally), and that cake is TO DIE FOR!! Purple is one of my favorite colors, so both the cake and juice (grape???) are reeling me in ...
You are a beauty, my friend, both inside and out, and a woman who doesn't seem to age, but I love you anyway ... ;) Here's to THE BEST birthday ever and may it be only the start of the best year of your life!!
Hugs and more hugs,
Julie
AW JULIE, well I am feeling pretty special that you've poked your head out to wish me a happy birthday!!
