Happy Birthday to my Loonie Friend Wendy!

I want to send a big shout out to my friend Wendy Bond - HAPPY BIRTHDAY girlfriend!!

I met Wendy and several of her friends on the Stampin' Cruise in the fall of 2008 - what an amazing experience and what a LOT of fun these girls brought to our stamp class group. We had the BEST group of gals for classes.  :-)  In those days I knew nothing of blogging or challenges etc.  I soon discovered that Wendy is a Mojo Monday DT girl - YAY!  Anyhow - we have continued our "cyber" friendship since the cruise and it's been great to get to know Wendy and the collection of women affectionately called the Loonie Stampers. (I'm still not sure if that's relevant to the Canadian Loons or to their personalities *snort*)

So here's to you Wendy.... have a blast - enjoy the day and celebrate like there's no tomorrow. Wish I could be there to pour you a glass of wine to celebrate (or was it margaritas? No I think it martinis? Oh maybe it was the drink of the day!! ACK you know what I mean LOL) Couldn't pick a more appropriate stamp for you than the fun and flirty Bella we got on that memorable cruise....

A super simple layout but using one of my favorite techniques, paper piecing... with some delicious Basic Gray papers.

Now how's that for some WILD pants?? LOL But wicked fun eh?

And here's a little close up of the Bella girl....

That's all for today - thanks for stopping by and Wendy - truly girlfriend - have a WICKED birthday :-)

 Now hop on over to the rest of the girls who are also participating in our Birthday Blog Hop for Wendy (gee that sounds like a cause - anyone want to contribute?!?)
