Good morning! Guess what day it is? Gina K's birthday! The team is hopping with some cards we sent her and celebrating Gina virtual-style, glad you could join the party! The card I chose to send was one of the designs I made (for the "February" section, very appropriately, since her birthday is Feb 8th!) ;) for my "A Year of Flowers" book.
Gina called me after she received her first copy of the book and told me this was her favorite card in it, and by golly, wouldn't you know it is one of my very favorites, too! Think perhaps I was thinking of her when I made it; the support and friendship and the opportunities she gives me every month (for the past four years!) to do something I love so much and blesses my family certainly does make life pretty amazing!
Our relationship has grown far beyond work and I can't begin to express how much I appreciate the time she makes for me and the Godly advice she has when I talk with her about both professional and personal matters. Not to mention how generous she is and that she can always make me laugh! :)
Hugs, Gina, I love you, and wish God's greatest blessings for you this year!
Now please go see more birthday inspiration from the team in the Gina K tribute!
