"What Good is a Birthday?..."

...especially without some yummilicious (eye)candy...

and a few mental musings

just sprinkled in here and there for a bit of spunk.:)

"A birthday is just the first day

of another 365-day journey around the sun.

Enjoy the trip."

~Author Unknown

"I have a promiscuous muse.

My muse wants to own every color,

work in many media,

and in numerous genre."

~Mary Klotz

"Rekindle your creative fire by making time to play."
~Mari Messer

...and play I did...

with a total and complete adornment of my ATCs
in luscious layers of sparkly bling!!!

This birthday week

I treated my artistic Muse

to an all out, energized "free for all"...

celebrated lavishly with brush, pen, and palette.

The two of us had a ball!

So...in answer to my question:

"What good is a Birthday?..."

Here goes:

"Because time itself is like a spiral,

something special happens on your birthday each year:

The same energy that God invested in you at birth

is present once again."

~Menachem Mendel Schneerson
