Happy Birthday, to ME!!!!!! :)

Hello bloggers and thank you all for the wonderful birthday wishes!!!! I have truly been blessed by wonderful friends both "live" and "online" and a combination of both! :) In honor of my (gulp) thirty third birthday, I'd like to invite ya'll to a special combination challenge...

This week's elements challenge is to:

1) Scraplift little ole yours truly (check me out) and post your creations via Mr Linky by Midnight on Monday the 22nd.

2) Be sure to include a link to the original blog post that inspired you in YOUR blog post when you showcase your newest project...

3) IF you do lift me and post your creations here, then DEFINITELY play along on my personal blog for THREE (3) extra chances at my blog candy, which will be drawn on March 31st...

So for some inspiration, check out what the Dollies came up with!

Moi (weird lifting yourself, by the way!)
