Happy Birthday To Me

Posted by: gretchen on March 12, 2007 |

Tomorrow is my birthday. No sense in hiding. All of you crazy extroverted people will find me anyway. My best friend Kelli sent me my birthday present one day early, tho, so I thought I’d share it with you. Kelli made a video of me set to Martina McBride’s song “Anyway”. Basically she ripped all the good photos off of my web site and mixed it in with several (if not ALL) of my drawings, plus a few personal photos of my kids and my dog.

Creating this web site is has been a dream of mine and it has been a long, hard fight to get it up and running. But today, I am realizing that the dream is coming true and things are taking off. It just gets better and better every day. Kelli is just reminding me of that. Thanks, Kel!

    “Basically she ripped all the good photos off of my web site…” *ahem* Okay, I admit, I ripped off a LOT of good ones, BUT…I also found some on my own.

    I put off doing my “300″ video for you, so there. :D

    Just because I love you. *mushy crap*

    Yeah, I think I’m done. ;))

    You mean I am more more important than “300″? :o

    Are you feeling ok? /:)

    Thanks, Amy! Glad you liked it.

    and G–of COURSE you’re more important than 300. No, I’m not feeling alright, but I AM sure of that, anyway. ;)

    Gotta finish that “300″ vid, though. :D

    Saw it was your birthday over at Paula’s blog–since I am always prime to crash a party I thought I’d stop by:

    Happy Birthday:)

    Yeah, I saw that. LOL! Well, as I said…couldn’t be helped. I’m still working on that “self control” bit. ;)

    No self-control, Kelli. Gretchen shows NO MERCY to any of us. The drummer picture was perfect - love it! So does Gretchen and so does the rest of the world.

    I hope you had a FABULOUS birthday, friend!

    Ya know, several years ago we took a test in Sunday School to see what our Spiritual gifts were or something like that. My highest score was for mercy. ;) Second highest was organizational skills. /:)

    It is hard for me to believe that you would cheat on a test in Sunday School. I realize you are competitive - but - Gretchen, that’s a place of worship! ;)

    The organizational skill makes perfect sense.

    […] birthday. I have been ransacking my brain to come up with the perfect gift, after-all the video she made for me for my birthday last week was just too cool. Yesterday, I called Trina at the crack of noon and nonchalantly asked […]
