It's a Happy Birthday Give Away! As a thank you to all of you for your support, kindness, and love I have decided to give away Lynne Perrella's new hardbound book Art Making - which may I say is a treasure - one of the loveliest books ever and one of the music cd favors from my 40th party from last night (see pics below) - Just leave me a comment and I will pic a winner by Tues.
40 looks GREAT on you, Gina girl! Forty was so long ago for me that I've forgotten how it FEELS! AT 42 I was a mother-in-law, at 47 a grandmother. Time flies when you are LIVING it. Enjoy each & every day, dear girl. Happy Happy.
Love, Joyce

Looks like you had a great time. That cd was a great idea for a favor. I need to remember that. I'm planning a party for a friend's 45th birthday. And I think she and the guests would love a cd.

Gina You look so gorgeous at your party and you seem to be really enjoying your family. I can hardly remember when I turned forty so long ago!! I wish you many many more years of creativity and sharing with us all. You share so much of yourself with us all and you have enriched our lives also! Sherry

Happy Birthday Gina. Looks like you had a great time at your party. I'd love a chance to win Lynn's book. She's one of my favorites. Thanks for the chance!

Happy Birthday gina!!! Your previous post says it all about "40". You get it...i tell my younger friends that 40 is actually freeing. You worry less...love more and most of all get yourself. You love you...and all that life has been and offers. So happy 40th and 40 more. smiles, andra

You are a beautiful inspiration of grace, strength, and creativity. After reading your "I am", I wrote one for myself- a declaration of womanhood, acceptance of self, and joy of where I am. Thank you for you words, images, and perspective. Happy Birthday!
