Happy birthday blessings, Karen!!! Adorable card and dedication, Laura!! #10171054

Laura E. Swan June 06, 2012

No. On second thought I think that was a photo of YOU when you were 16. I thought it was ME at 18 but you know how we sisters are. We look alike and wear each others rollers!

Look at Mumj up here. Wearing her blue fuzzy outfit. I always loved that one! :D

Lydia, Wm (Hey! Welcome home from the ANNUAL Guys only trip!), Tam-Tam, Mumj and Sister Kalena! Should we gather around for a family photo?

Maybe lets wait. Sherran and the OTHERS are not here yet!!!

Laura E. Swan June 06, 2012

Hi Chrissy and Terry! Pull up a chair!! :) Good to see you ladies here!!!

Want a bag of "Says" potato chips as you find a place to sit? They are called the new SOCIAL chips. :D No One can have just ONE conversation once they begin to eat them. No one knows why.

Hope they are good! Want some punch to go with that??? #10171144

Christine Lobsinger June 06, 2012

Okee Dokee... I will try to have one!
It sure is hard - to only eat one chip...
Since it is Karen's special day- guess some won't hurt us, right?
Yummmmmmy..
Pass the punch please!!
Party...

Want to hear a funny? I posted the monkey by accident. I meant to post the chips up here where the monkey is! Sorry for the sad monkey. I just used her on Wm's Gumby(s) and Cheeto-Pokey image! Lol...

So ANYWAY....YAH! LETS EAT CHIPS!

SAYS WHO? SAYS ALL OF US! Yum! With Cherry or Grape punch!

Happy Birthday Sister Kalena! #10171165

Chris Ebben June 07, 2012

This has been a great party Laura and Karen. #10173110

Terry Cervi June 09, 2012

Thanks for the punch and chips Laura!! I'm all chatted out from eating too many "Says". I need to go and rest but I'll be back again next year! #10174564

Mary K. Robison June 10, 2012

Sorry I missed the (Life of)the Party, Pom! It's clear you were the perfect hostess, as always!! And once again, it was such fun reading the grand stream of comments and photos, etc., from your bp friends.
Those Says chips look SO good! My x-ray vision is why I can see them inside that bright and beautiful orange and red bag!
I'm dating myself here --- I've been addicted to them since my school daze (5c then), and once shared a bag with Cher(yeah, THAT Cher!).
Here's wishing Karen a Happy Un-birthday tonight, and may the year ahead be a terrific one for her! The same for you, Pompy-doo! #10174637

Debbie Bray June 12, 2012

Oh dear, I missed out AGAIN!!!! Happy belated birthday Karen! What a fabulous hostess you are, Lulu, and I LOVED the piano playing happy birthday, and then I had to watch the eggs from JibJab! hoho!! So funny! But best of all, I LOVE your beautifully created image!! #10177205

Phillip R. Connolly June 12, 2012
