Happy Happy Birthday love!

I eat chocolate almost every day too-even though I really do better not eating the sugar.

Earrings often bother my ears too, but I don't always wear necklaces.

I would love to see the barn studio. I love barns!'

Lots of love to you. Hope your day was fantabulous.

Happy Birthday, because you deserve it. I love your biography, and I'm pretty sure I want your barn/studio.

i can sooooooo relate to #29. i lived in new hampshire, in mount washington valley, and felt panicky all the time. on my days off, i would drive to maine...and as i got closer, i could smell the salt in the air and my whole body relaxed and i felt "right" again.

happy belated birthday by the way!
