Birthday thank yous - for real, this time! *g*

I had the most lovely birthday, yesterday! ♥

I didn't do anything terribly exciting - just a walk in the woods with my two boys (Bud & Mr B, of course! ♥) & then visits from various family & friends - but it was wonderful. It was made even lovelier by all of the lovely online good wishes from everyone, too. Thank you so, so much for helping to make my day so special. ♥
*hugs*

I think that I've managed to reply to everyone who posted or sent me a message - but please give me a nudge if I've managed to miss anyone! *g*

I had some lovely (& delicious looking!) virtual gifts from lijahlover, winter_elf, berlinghoff79, lysambre, ariadni, tarlanx & from_the_corner (& yes, it does look like a tiny Impala with a paint job! *g*) And a cute e-card from iadorespike. (LOL - cats are like that!)
ETA: thanks to timespirt for the cool balloons!

I also now have a gorgeous collection of new wallpapers. Luckily, W7 allows wps to rotate & so I can enjoy them all:~

winter_elf made this lovely wallpaper. I love the cute look on Rodney's face & the way that John's obviously worrying that all those candles might be a fire hazard! *g*

vida_boheme made this beautiful Mile Marker 36 title graphic. I've always adored maps & this makes me picture the boys poring over their next excursion from the ranch. :) She's also given permission for me to post it with the story!

fanarts_series made a beautiful Echoes wallpaper (which I hope she'll share with everyone else very soon.) ETA: Yay - it's here.

sexycazzy made this totally cute Joe wallpaper with some of the images from his recent 'Change of Plans' interview. *meep*

berryann made this heart-breakingly poignant McShep drabble wallpaper which made me ache. ♥

lantean_drift made this awesome Lord John & Rodney manip - & John's wearing braces! *guh*

tangotabby made this adorable graphic showing who really forgot the date! LOL

I also have a ficlet place holder fromsgamadison which feels like getting a sure-fire winning lottery ticket to me! \o/ ETA: Woo-hoo! I have won the lottery! Last Minute Shopping by sgamadison


Hmmm, I also got a rather special delivery of a stunning bouquet & a box of my favourite chocolates (Thorntons - yum!)

On closer examination, look who they were from...

And of course, I couldn't be taking pics without a certain someone...

Though he was naughty & snaffled a piece of coffee cake right off the cake stand on the kitchen counter! I'd only turned my back for a second, too! Little monkey - luckily it wasn't a slice of the chocolate cake.
Oh, Buddy! *g*

So, I've had a fabulous birthday. Thank you so much for sharing it with me & making it extra-special. ♥
