You seem to be a bit confused about birthdays, though. You are meant to give others lovely gifts on _their_ birthdays and relax on your own, graciously receiving the wonderful tributes then showered upon _you_.
On the other hand, there's definitely something to be said for getting your own gifts, as this one surely demonstrates. Lacking any gift, I will be forced to accept this one, defending myself on the rather flimsy grounds that (1) I didn't know, and (2) I wasn't invited to the party.
Belated Happy Birthday wishes Donna...hope your day was special and I'm sorry we didn't know ahead of time it was your birthday...a very attractive and festive fern you've made here...if you'd like to add your name to our birthday calendar so next year others can make something for you, you can find the discussion thread HERE...all the best in the coming year.:Pat.
