Surprise Birthday Present

Hi Everyone,

In honor of Wendy's birthday coming up in November (she is going to turn 47), I would like to put together a scrapbook in honor of Wendy. I am asking each of you who visit this site to post what they love and appreciate about Wendy (you can be as creative or non-creative as you please), and I will gather all of the responses and put them in a scrapbook - see this website for the inspiration (http://www.beautifulcanvas.org/2009/03/a-three-hour-nap-and-a-scrapbook/).

I am also going to ask Hannah and Andrew (Wendy's children), put together a list of 47 things that they love about their mom and have that be the beginning of the book.

This is going to be a surprise, so please refrain from telling her about this. PLEASE POST BY NOVEMBER 1st! We are also thinking about throwing Wendy a surprise birthday party on the weekend before her birthday (November 12ish)- please e-mail me at jennifermle@hotmail.com if you are interested in joining.
