~ Birthday Blog Hop ~ happy birthday Reenee!

   ~ 'Tis the day!! :) Everybody, and I know especially Nicki... has been looking forward to this special day to celebrate Reenee's birthday! I take this moment to say a big, warm thank-you to both Nicki and Reenee (the most awesome mother-and-daughter team) for letting me share a part of their Clear-and-Simple adventures. it has been SO MUCH fun to be part of the team, and their emails, design-team instructions, and group network are so warm and fun. The best of the very best!

So -- Reenee, here are your birthday flowers first of all...

 
some of my very favorite kind: carnations...  and I hope you will love them too..

seeing that I needed some pretty flowers to fill my pots, I skipped out to pick those growing by the mailbox at the roadside..
~ not really, but I wish I could ~

 


I made a card for you too -- with special stamps from our favorite company ...



Lots of etsy goodness here... joyafibers wood-buttons (so cute and fun) -- buttonsandsuch lace trim (tea-dyed in my kitchenette) -- layoutsfromtheheart posies -- the BEST button twine from endlessinkabilities -- and beautiful papers from jenniferscozycottage.
