  2. Happy Birthday! Firstly can I say i could not leave a comment or become a follower on Carol's blog, I have gone back to it 3 times and Blogger will not let me do it. Apart from that I have had such fun hopping to each and every Blog and leaving comments. What an incredible journey of inspiration and talent it has been. The word of course is 'Blogaversary fun!'. Thanks for a great hop and for the chance to win, and here's to many more happy years ahead. Judy x
