There are few things that bring me more pleasure than to celebrate the birthday of a good friend. This particular friend, I’ve never actually met in real life. You may find it strange that I’d be doing a blog post wishing a stranger birthday greeting. But while I have never met Claire, I don’t consider her to be a stranger. For the past two years Claire has been an on-line friend beyond compare; kind and considerate, she truly is an Irish rose to me. The owner of Waltzingmouse Stamps, Claire Brennan, is celebrating her very special day today and her Design Team have gotten together to help celebrate.
The team only recently discovered that her birthday was today and decided to participate in a blog hop, but there was a problem for me. I didn’t have time to make a card for the hop prior to leaving for CHA. I thought of another way that I could participate in the hop while I was away. For the past two days, I’ve been finding some of Claire’s friends who also attended CHA and they wanted to share in the fun of wishing their on-line friend a HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
Deb Felts and I are happy to send birthday wishes sitting on the couch at the Splitcoaststampers.com booth.
Kim Crawford and Charlene Austin wanted to send their wishes too!
Lisa Hjulberg attended the SuperShow and one day of the trade show.

Thank you for stopping by the last leg of this blog hop and I hope you have enjoyed the cards posted by the rest of the team. I especially hope that Claire enjoys her birthday and the smiling faces of some of her friends here in the states who also wish her a joyous day.

Hi Lynn! What a great picture of you and Deb!!! I sure wish I could have been there every day... hopefully next year! I'll have to plan ahead and get the time off.
