Happy Birthday, Vanessa

The secret can be revealed. Today is Vanessa's birthday, and the celebration can begin, blogland style. So, who is Vanessa? And what does she mean to me?
For me, discovering A Fanciful Twist was a door into a new world. A world that Vanessa created, out of thin air, imagination, and a playful spirit. She is a gypsy at heart, you know. And a very gorgeous one, on the outside and more so on the inside.
Vanessa cherishes the world's little creatures, like birds and puppy dogs. Frogs, butterflies, lizards, too. She shares this love of nature with us in the most charming ways.
When Vanessa invites you to a blog party (a WHAT?, you say), it is an opportunity to play and make-believe once again. Not that I really played with imaginary friends as a child. Well, except when I was the boss mare for the "herd" of horses during recess in elementary school. The first blog party I attended was Vanessa's Mad Hatter Tea Party this spring. What a lark!
When I read A Fanciful Twist I smile and laugh and sometimes get a little teary eyed. Her stories are full of love and her pictures are awesome. Mostly it is her open invitation into her world that lingers. Vanessa is a joyful, generous, lovely young woman. Happy Birthday To You, Vanessa. And many more, cha-cha-cha.
