I am speechless today. The kindness coming my way is beyond words. I am entering 34 with puffy eyes from buckets of tears of joy and a touched little heart, rotten and spoiled as it may be ;)
It seems that some fairies were sneaking behind my computer screen, and managed to throw me a beyond surprise party over at Roo's Treehouse. I figured it out after I cried a bucket of salty ocean waves around my ankles after reading the words at Deborah's (thank you for the glorious snowflake!) and Cori's. Then I went over to Roo's, which led me to Karen's and Stacy's and Di's and Jamie's, and Debbie's and and Lisa, and Laura's (who was one of the planner elves!!), and Maggi's and Lulu's, and Komis Couture's, and now I am going to visit and catch up with others fairies (who I will later name, once I see who those other sneaky sweet peas are), who left me a note at Roo's and who also went out of their way to make my day beyond special... ( I will update the names of those sneaky wonderful fairies in a pss below)
I can't thank you super duper wonderful souls enough (even those who silently visit). I am moved and overwhelmed and touched beyond words. All I hope is that I can be half as nice as all of you are! I feel like such a rotten girl. But that's probably because I carry around all this inherent guilt ;) I could feel guilty for stealing gum balls, even if I didn't steal them ;)
Thank you so much, for taking the time to join me here at A Fanciful Twist, and to share words and ideas and vibes that are invaluable to me!
Anyhow, I have a little thank you, for you...
Thank you over the moon! Know that you are always welcome here.
Being 33 was so so so so so super fabulously wonderful. It was just as good as being 17. And I thought nothing could top 17 ;) This past year was a gorgeous year. The best year a girl could hope for. A now, on to a new one...
I baked myself a crown cake yesterday. I found this old heavy tin in my friend's antique store, that I thought looked like a crown. Who knows what it's for actually. Anyhow, all seemed to be umm, what's the word, explosive? Oh goodness how I laughed when I checked on my cake. I had to roll around the kitchen floor in fits of shock and laughter. I used a very delicate butter cream recipe, and I had forgotten it always has glitches. But I sure remembered when I took a peek, and I don't think I will forget next time ;)
So, figuring it couldn't get any worse, I left it in to finish cooking, and let it spit out the batter it didn't want ;)
And in the end, it was A okay.
A crown cake, just for you! Don't choke on the jewels, pleeeeeease!! ;)
Oh goodness, I must run because Mister took the day off, and my family is driving here to go out to dinner and I have to find out what is in that HUGE gift box! (and I have to go to the post office)
THANK YOU for helping make my day so special!! I awoke to balloons and flowers and bliss...
Oh and, I stayed up way too late watching Snow Cake, and then wrote a little life thoughts list for my journal. I have decided to share my list, which are ideas of my own, that I try to follow. Ideas for living a peaceful fulfilled and happy life, I guess you can say... (psss, I borrowed #26 because I always think of that movie line)
I started creating these ideas for myself when I was in the depths of my dark angst ridden days (early twenties or so), and had to find a way to get inside of my soul, and pull myself out of the darkness so I could enjoy the ride...

See you super soon!

ps: Thank you Miss Kaerie Faerie for my fairy in the photo montage above (and for being a secret partier), and Miss Mandy for those cutie clothespin soldiers!!!
pss: And more secret partiers, oh thank you girls!! Mary, Charlotte, SueAnn, Stephanie, Constance, Paris Parfait, Amy, Sarah, Chris and, I am off to see what other fairies left a secret message so I can thank them properly. I am so touched, that my heart cup runneth over and I am in a dazeeeee!
