I love your list… and can I join you on Oprah’s couch?
Happy (belated) Birthday! May you accomplish all you have on your list plus some!
Happy Belated Birthday! I knew it was coming up and I missed it. Grrr! I hope you had a great day. Your list is fabulous. I’m sure you’ll accomplish everything on it….and probably sooner than in the next 28 years.
Check your mail soon!
I was out of town and missed your birthday…so a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You look positively glowing and you have an admirable and beautiful list of things to accomplish. I know you can do it!
Oh haven’t had a chance to visit your blog. Here’s one more ‘happy belated birthday’ wish for you. May you accomplish all that’s on your list with ease.
A belated happy birthday, Kelli! Having gotten to know you over the past few years (albeit *virtually*,) I have no doubt you’ll be checking things off your list soon!
that’s just a very, very subtle way of sharing with everyone that you had another birthday! you are crafty (all meanings of the word) and clever, to boot. hope you had a day filled with warm wishes and niceness because you should. you put so much good stuff out into the world that i hope you got at least five times that amount back at you!
What a beautiful list–Happy Belated Birthday!
Very Happy (and Belated) Birthday Wishes to You!!!!
I have no doubt that you will accomplish your goals – with some people, I’d look at that list and think “Sheah, right. Good luck with *that*” – but you continually amaze and awe me. If anyone I “know” can do it all, it would be you.
xo!
Hey, I love those candles, did you make them yourself or did you buy them? If you made them, I would love to know more.
