The Birthday Bird


Lots of people I care about are celebrating Birthdays this month so I decided to make this. Yay for getting older and eating lots of cake.

p.s. Thanks to the patient followers of this blog. Come to find out I've got a bun in the oven and that's why I've been feeling so "sick" lately.

Oooh by the way, I noticed the reason why your bloggie look so phat is because your pics don't have these borders around them, so how do you get rid of them in the html way?

If you do know please let me know, if you can do.

please forgive the typos (site not sight) I try to proof read but sometimes it just doesn't work out.

Thanks thanks :)

Ironically I like this one too. I think it's the deliciously inciting cake. Yummy ;) Who wouldn't want to wear an edible hat?!
