Celebrate Your Life! April 2012 Birthday #63! Bridal Gown Give A Way!

The Angels are singing because this
is an exciting month
with lots to Celebrate!
Easter at My Daugher's.
She is a really great
cook.


Someone is going to win this gorgeous Bridal Gown!  Will it be you?
  
 
Happy Birthday Felma!  The Good the Bad and the Ugly will be the topic of my posts during my birthday month. I will post about all three.  The good is that I am enjoying life and celebrating life to my fullest.   At 63, I feel better than I imagined I would and I even look better than I thought I could.  Being a cancer survivor has perks.  The other day I went to Nordstrom to get fitted for my free (please check with your insurance) breast cancer bras and looked so good to my husband that he took pictures.  My "girls" are sitting up quite nicely.  My words for the evening, "Don't keep your hands to yourself."  Who knew that I would come out of the closet last year and start Celebrating Life and make it a lifetime goal to live the best life I can with all the ailments I have?  It has been fun.  I am so thankful to all of you who played a song to get me started and keep me going.  God, I thank you most of all. 

 What About The Give-A-Way?
How about having a chance to win it?  It is so very easy to win the gorgeous Bridal Gown in the picture above.  It is one of my best and signed by me.  All you have to do is be a follower of my blog, leave a positive inspirational comment, for example, "Happy Birthday," and your comment will be placed into a hat.  On Monday, April 30, 2012, my 2 year old grandson will draw the winning comment.  I will post the comment of the winner during the first week of May 2012.  Comments must be received by 12:00 Noon Pacific Standard Time on Sunday April 29, 2012. 

Time to go Celebrate! 

Before I go I must say thanks to all of you for reading and following my blog.  Enjoy this month and every month to the fullest.  Thank you for the e-mails and much appreciated comments.  I love you.  Love and hugs to all.

  44. Dear Felma, first of all; Happy Birthday and what a wonderful dress! It was easy for me to come up with an inspirational comment; actually it's a quote i cherish and I hope you and others like it as much as I do.

    "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order and confusion to clarity."

    I keep my fingers crossed and I hope I can give this lovely dress an honourfull place in my dollhouse.
    Hugs, Vall

  45. Hallo Felma,
    Just found your blog for the first time and I am amazed seeing all the beautiful things you made! Really glorious is the Bridal Gown, but I love also the beauty here above, that reminds me of a painting my father made for me! I am very happy that I found your blog and that I am in time to celebrate life with you!

    I'm already a new follower, but I saw your last post and that remind me that I made a mistake for to participate for your fantastic bridal give away. I saw the link to your blog on an other blog, that's why it went wrong. It was a good idea of your grandma to remember everyone for this give away in a new post :) than I saw my mistake! I'll change the picture on my blog and want to ask you: please, count me in for this stunning bridal dress give away?
