My BEST birthday memory? Well, I have to admit that it was when my ex-husband presented me with dinner at a very high-end restaurant in New Orleans! Oh, I forgot to mention that we lived in St.Louis at the time, and he had a friend fly his personal plane down for the evening and because I had to be back at work the next day, we flew back 5 hours later! Wow, whirlwind birthday! Of course, the marriage kinda lasted about that long too! LOL! Best wishes, Lynn!<br />jgarber5@cox.netJan Garberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02284298780244622223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35366774.post-60738146120615303542012-01-19T11:09:11.054-06:002012-01-19T11:09:11.054-06:00Happy Birthday Lynn!

I hope you had a great one. My favorite birthday was my 16th. My Dad threw me a sweet 16 party and chaperoned. It was so much fun, because it was also Fathers day. He has since passed on, but I will always remember the fun we had.

Thanks for the wonderful inspiration.<br /><br />One of my best birthday memories was my 35th. I was working for my church. The chairman of our outreach committee had scheduled a meeting that day and we were going to lunch after the meeting at Hannegan&#39;s in Laclede&#39;s Landing along witht he pastor and his wife. As we were finishing lunch, a fellow in a funky costume came to our table, asked which one was Judy, then proceeded to deliver a singing telegram to me from the pastor and his wife. It was truly a Kodak moment.Judy Ihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12187297153298744486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35366774.post-10724467574669648762012-01-18T08:13:25.721-06:002012-01-18T08:13:25.721-06:00Happy Birthday! My best birthday memory would have to be the cake my mother aways made for me. It was an angel food cake that she sliced horizontally into 4 layers and filled with chocolate pudding. Then she frosted the cake with fresh whipped cream. Absolutely wonderful!!!bbourassahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15129709696983234917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35366774.post-37987639639609300462012-01-18T07:54:40.970-06:002012-01-18T07:54:40.970-06:00I love your striking card. The red and white is so bold, but the hearts add sweet.<br /><br />Happy Belated Birthday!!!! My best birthday memory was #40. We, my family and my parents, planned a week&#39;s vacation at the beach. I celebrated with cake and prosecco at sunset with the 6 most important people in the world. Then my son surprised me by facetiming my best friend in so she could celebrate with me. She was the icing on the cake. lolMichellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14490877673985475227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35366774.post-39016045502398047522012-01-18T07:37:54.449-06:002012-01-18T07:37:54.449-06:00I love this card, Lynn. I&#39;m still hoping to play with this card sketch from the online class. Love the picnic patterns, it creates the perfect frame to your sentiment.<br /><br />Best birthday memory....gosh. Probably my last big party (35). I was having a wee meltdown about this age and decided to have a party to help me get over it. ;) In an effort to merge my different groups of friends/family I held a murder mystery party and I was soooooo impressed and thankful that all forty of my guests truly got into the spirit of the night. Costumes were splendid as was the role-playing. And my twin brother outshone them all - not bad for an Army dude who doesn&#39;t do the &quot;flippant&quot; stuff of life real well. Now I&#39;m facing down 40 and I&#39;m ok with it....seems to be the birthdays ending in 5&#39;s that hurt more, lol.<br /><br />xxxMicheyMoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17706234368244521994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35366774.post-79493241717793001522012-01-18T07:04:41.413-06:002012-01-18T07:04:41.413-06:00Sigh, what a Totally beautiful and romantic card you&#39;ve made. You always inspire me!!! When I grow up, I hope I am YOU!!! <br /><br />And happy belated birthday, girlfriend!!! May the joy and blessings last all year long until you have another.<br /><br />My favorite birthday memory had to have been my 50th (egads!) birthday. As you can probably derive from my screen moniker, my hubby calls me &quot;Monkey&quot;. So for my birthday, he had a HUGE banner made that he strung over the garage doors OUTSIDE for the world to see ... it said &quot;Happy 50th birthday, Monkey!&quot; Bright yellow writing on black background! Well, unfortunately, a next door neighbor died 2 days before and his family (Jewish) were sitting Shiva, with a rabbi attending. This rabbi was stereotypical in his appearance -- long, long gray frizzled beard, sort of hunched over as if always over a prayer book, long dark coat and big hat. He came outside after a service in my neighbors and found me and my other neighbor in my driveway, talking about the birthday and other events in the neighborhood. The rabbi strolled up, studied the sign and said, &quot;Which one of you is the Monkey?&quot; I smiled and said, that&#39;d be me. He responded, &quot;well, you don&#39;t look much like a monkey. Then again, you don&#39;t look 50 either. Mazel Tov!&quot; I just loved it. We had a great party that night that my hubby threw for my friends at a restaurant, and I loved telling the rabbi&#39;s greeting. <br /><br />Thank you for the opportunity to win delicious candy!!<br /><br />Fondly,<br />Ellen ♥ CardMonkey<br />http://cardmonkey-business.blogspot.com<br />E-mail: cardmonkey@comcast.netEllen S.

Happy belated birthday! One funny birthday memory is when I turned 40, and my students copied my senior high school photo and each wore it as well as posted it throughout the school even on a Last of the Mohicans movie poster-Daniel Day Lewis and Madeline Stowe with my young face in a romantic embrace--truly hilarious!Cammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12841147131986366375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35366774.post-4281725106677055072012-01-18T04:59:14.196-06:002012-01-18T04:59:14.196-06:00Total stunner Lynn, I LOVE those wee red xo circles popped up like that and the trellis BG is flabby here!

My most memorable birthday was a few years ago when I got to celebrate it with Mick and the boys...well, it WAS my birthday and they WERE there too (along with a few thousand other fans). There was a full autumn moon and it was a warm San Francisco night. A very fun and memorable night! I was hoarse for a week! Wonderful blog candy! Thank you for the chance to win.

The red and white is so crisp and the ribbon is just perfect. Your honey will love it!<br /><br />And Happy Birthday! Hope you had a special day. I think my most memorable birthday was in 1998 when I went to England for the first time. I went to visit my husband (then boyfriend - it was a very long distance relationship) and everything about the trip was wonderful. He had a special evening planned for my birthday - we had theater tickets for Phantom of Opera in London.

Love your card! I might have to case this for DHs valentine card. I&#39;ve been blessed enough to have many wonderful birthdays but one of the best was my 22nd. My husband (at the time we had only been dating 6 months) gave me a car. I knew he was a keeper! It wasn&#39;t a brand new car but it was much better than the bucket of bolts I had at the time. 20 years later, he&#39;s still a keeper.Serenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10330766931235538949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35366774.post-46098603263719834392012-01-17T19:37:52.766-06:002012-01-17T19:37:52.766-06:00Happy Belated Birthday!!!
