Super Bake Girl Emilia by Vanessa Valencia.
Today is my wonderfully talented and fanciful friend's birthday. Let's all have tea and a piece of cake in Vanessa's honour. Come on, for once you're allowed to indulge! Happy, happy birthday, Vanessa! On your birthday and every day, wishing you much joy.
P.S. And another reason to celebrate - Jordana arrived this morning, home for the holidays!
What an adorable birthday girl - both in image and in real life. Happy Birthday to Vanessa! And hurray for your daughter's return home in time for the holidays. Enjoy the celebration!!!~xOxOxO

You sweet lady you! I think we get back what we put out (does that mean I'm sweet too? LOL!) so in this case, you are a darling friend to a darling friend.
The world wide web has done us all some justice-it's made the globe a much smaller place by bringing us together. We otherwise may never have met.
I think that is pure magic!
Happy Birthday Vanessa!

Vanessa is such a special soul! The world would seem empty without her! I'm so glad to celebrate her life with you here!
Thank you Tara for your tribute to her wonderfulness.
I just read Stephanie's comment. So happy for you that your sweet Jordana is home! I arrived yesterday to my Mom's. She had her operation this morning. All is well!
Thank God.
