    Happy Birthday Michelle. I think I'll go with 28 too. You don't look 8 and you certainly don't look 80 so it must be 28. xoxox

    A very Happy Birthday to you, Michelle! The portrait of you with Cake is a beautiful image.

    I believe you share your birthdate with the marvelous artist Gustav Klimt. July 14 was also my Dad's birthday, so I think that you are in wonderful company.

    Happy Birthday! That cake is lovely! I love the tea cozy...My daughter has a bunny similar to the one in your pic. She named it Rosy and she delights in making clothing and blankets for her.

    Happy Birthday Michelle,
    Just found your blog and mighty glad I did.
    I LOVE that ruffle cake - how on earth was that made? It's by far the prettiest I have ever. I can't even fathom what it was made with. Can you reveal?
    Think I sussed your age with the candles. 4 on one side and 4 on the other. Is that right? If so, you look younger than that. Younger than me and I am 36. So there!
    Loving your cardie, like your style girl!
    Mr Hare is very cute, I love receiving gifts like that!
    Have a wonderful day (but am wondering how one actually slices that cake?)
