happy birthday my love

lizzy and jonny

Today is Jonny's birthday. We have spent the day eating (Red Robin) and doing a little shopping and talking and trying to prevent him from getting too upset that his new iPod isn't working (we might have to take it back...ugh) and eating some more (sushi at Blue C) and yet again (ice cream cake from baskin robbins) and now watching a movie (Wings of Desire).

Here is the little creation I made for Jonny. I scanned it so it doesn't quite come across like it appears in real life...but here it is...(the words say: she granted him one wish and he opened his eyes and he lived in his life)

I am working with these little winged girls and some words and stories. More to come.

Thank you for all of your kind words about my day yesterday. I am so grateful for every single comment and email and virtual hugs and healing energy you sent my way. How blessed I am...today is better...as I said to a friend: the quiet sadness is still there but a little softer today.

Happy Birthday to Jonny! (I'm not a day late, I'm just extending the celebration.)

I LOVE that photo of the two of you together. You both look so happy. And I have to mention that your J's dimples are fabulous. :-)

I like the collage you made too. I spy with my little eye - fabric!

Happy Birthday wishes to your wonderful husband! And I LOVE what you made for him, Liz...if we could all wish that for ourselves...to live IN our lives. Beautiful. xoxo

Liz LIZ Liz,
I don't know what I like best...the picture you made for Jon or the happy couple picture(clean shaven husband)! I think it is a tie! He looks like a movie star!! You have been hiding a movie star in your Tacoma, Washington home!! Science schmience...that's code for "A-LIST actor/model!"

Liz - you creative, happy, inspiring - PERSON - you. Thank you for your honesty and Jon - HAPPY BIRTHDAY - HOPE TO MEET YOU AND GET YOUR AUTOGRAPH SOON.
