Happy Birthday Me!

Yep, on the 27th May 1987 at 11:13pm I entered the world.

I was the first of four children. The only girl.

My mum was 29. My dad was 33.

We’re a family. And we are awesome at it.

    @The Girl Thanks hon!

    A 25 by 25 is a good idea- expecially if there are ‘bigger’ things you want to accomplish!

    @Jaz Yep, 24 by 24 next. Can you think of anything I should do?!

    @Zoey Thanks Zoey. :-) I have to try to think of things to put on it!!!

    @Farmer’s Wifey Happy birthday for TOMORROW!!!! I hope you have an fantastic day!!

    @Sarah Thanks Sarah. :-) If you look, some of them are really, really easy- so I guess you can make it as hard or easy as you want!!! You could put easy things on yours and then you wouldn’t fail!

    @Janine Thanks Janine! I LOVE Debono. So glad to find another fan of his!

    @Pete Thanks Pete! I shall just put the ones I missed on next year’s list I think!

    birthday cards that are personlized are the best in my opinion, they really come from the bottom of the heart of the sender.;*
