a request

dear reader,

i have a request.

you see, aliana's 10th birthday

is september 25th, next wednesday.

{nordic pancake cake}

i would very much like for her mailbox to

 ~overflow~

with birthday wishes and treats.

i would like for aliana's socks to be knocked off

by the sheer volume of birthday wishes.

i'll go out on a limb here and say that

missy would like it, as well.

{aliana & her mama, june 2012}

will you please

send aliana a birthday card?

or anything else you think might delight her?

it is a well-known fact that she

likes gum and chocolate and stickers

and other things of that nature.

also, fairies, animals, and flowers.

she's a cuddly sweetheart.

a blessing to everyone who knows her.

i know i can count on you

to brighten up this girl's very special day.

go ahead and spread the word!

maybe you could mention her birthday

to certain friends who are

especially good at this sort of thing.

just an idea.

there she is!
checking her mailbox for birthday cards!!

this picture of missy's blessing way

was taken on this very day, ten years ago

p.s.

please don't worry if you are reading this

and it's now too late to send something

to arrive on september 25th.

do you remember being ten years old?

would you have liked cards & treats

to trickle in for weeks?

i think we both know the answer.
please send her your sweet card,
no matter the date.
