When I was considering what kind of birthday card I would like to send my BFF Heather...I was originally going to use one of her fabulous FBD images, but I changed my mind and decided to use a House Mouse image instead. You see, I was incredibly blessed to meet Heather through the House Mouse & Friends Challenge Blog. At first, we left comments on each others blogs...then, we sent emails back and forth...until one day, we decided to speak to one another via phone. Now, we talk to each other almost every other day:) My family even knows when I haven't spoken to my darling Heather...I suppose I can get a bit snappy when I don't get my TOC fix:) What can I say...she keeps me sane!!! 
I also selected this particular image because she LOVES Krispy Kreme Donuts...and doesn't it look like those cuties are celebrating? Here is a pic of us celebrating the first time we met IRL (please forgive my bad hair day...yes, it's time to hit the hairdresser...I just prefer ball caps and/or ponytails...so not a girly-girl):


I am hoping to visit her REAL soon:) Oh happy days!!!! Anyhoo...I just wanted to wish Heather a SUPER, AMAZING, FUN-FILLED BIRTHDAY!!!!! I hope she knows how much I LOVE HER!!! We started out blogging buddies and now we are sisters:) BFF TOCs FOR LIFE!!! She means the world to me, and I thank God everyday for bringing such a ray of sunshine into my life! Talk about a blessing!!!


Okay...enough of my blubbering...it's time to continue hopping:) Your next stop is sweet Kelly's amazing blog! And, just in case you need it, here is the full list of birthday hoppers:
