Paper girls know how to party!
July 2nd, 2009
You may have noticed the spa girl in my header this month. That’s my nod to my birthday that is coming up next Monday. I’m not really going to a spa for my birthday but a girl can day dream, right? I’m saving the spa party for my 40th which is totally right around the corner. Yikes. I’m going to be thirty-seven, can you believe it?
Anyway, I was going to invite a few girlfriends with daughters to a local fruity-tooty nail salon for girls for my birthday but everybody up and had plans already. So I decided that I’m going to throw myself a virtual party with paper dolls! Bug’s really been into paper dolls lately so I thought it would be cool to make myself a paper doll. (Not anatomically correct, of course.) That way I could pose myself relaxing with a big fat fruity drink.
Would you like to join me? Cut Virtual Brenda out, make yourself a fruity drink and stick some cucumbers on your eyes. It’s fun! I apologize for the twenty minutes it will take you to cut all those curves but hey think of those twenty minutes as a little escape from your real life. Maybe tomorrow I’ll design us a trip to Spain in a Vespa!

Oh how fun! I hand drew paper dolls of us, when it was just me and Alan, years and years ago. I think I still have them somewhere. I’ll have to dig them out and then we can have a paper doll party all together. :-D

July 2nd, 2009 at 8:14 pm
LOVE this! Can’t wait to cut this out.

I like the added handprints to the banner. :-)

Wait…”the added handprints to the banner”!? Does that even make sense? Sheesh. I trust you know what I meant.

I love the handprints too! Perfect touch–

I think I will have a play-date with my SAJ and my Balancing Everything dolls. (google it, if you haven’t seen her)
whispering : I think a fruity drink is more fun than a baby sling….

…but I have recently discovered that aside from mine (who is now eight) I don’t really like babies. Is that like saying I don’t like puppies?
Don’t hate me.

I love it! What a brilliant idea! I’ve still got some paperdolls from when I was a kid.

It’s your birthday already! I knew it was sometime this month but I thought it was later, like a round the 21st. I would, love, love to attend your paperdoll party :) Have a great 4th of July celebration xxxx

Happy almost birthday, SAJ! Wow, I haven’t played with paper dolls in ages!
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:36 am

July 3rd, 2009 at 3:15 pm
No, the 21st is my birthday. I’m going to be 50….again.
Happy Birthday Brenda!!!

My 57th b’day is week from Sat (the 11th) and I will cut out your paper doll and put it on the fridge as a reminder for SOME PEOPLE that live in my house to remember my b’day. Otherwise, not a chance!

You totally need to have a birthday celebration on top of the paper doll parties. I think your own spa visit shouldn’t have to wait till the 4-0!

If you come over to my house on Monday I’m sure the girls can find some mud to throw on you :P Your spa day plan sounds like fun, sorry it didn’t pan out. If you head out my way I’ll bake you a cake and sing happy birthday to you. Actually, I’ll fake sing while the kids drown me out. I always cheat like that because I hate my voice.

wait.. what? you are going to be 37? I would have NEVER guessed your age at that. Maybe 30.. maybe.
Happy Birthday! I hope you have a good day even if it won’t be at a spa!

I love your new header!! And just in case I miss your birthday because I am one of those tourists that head to the beach while on vacation and well, I am on vacation… happy 37th!! You are younger than me so don’t be crying about 40 yet, please I say go to the spa anyway, I do , every single birthday. Some years it’s just a manicure, others it’s more, just do it.
