Top Half of Card

Bottom Half of Card

Today is Tara's birthday.  Last week Isaac came to say he was going to make a card for her. He left. He came back to ask me how old she was going to be.  I told him 39.  He left again.

When he returned he had a horrified look on his face. He held up his paper to show me the grave mistake he had made.  He was concerned he needed to start all over again.  I told him, "It's fine buddy."  He said, "But Dad, that is not really what she looks like." (He decided to just make a note of apology right there on the birthday card.)



Tara's birthday wish: 
No, not for implants in order to make this drawing accurate  ...  :)

Her wish is that you would read this post our friends wrote and consider giving a gift to their ministry as they daily fight Cholera in Haiti.

I'm a long-time lurker who hasn't commented ever but I just wanted to hop on here and say "Nice rack!" I mean "Happy Birthday!"

Oh my gosh! Is this totally inappropriate?

Happy Birthday Dolly...err...TARA! :)

Originally I thought the mistake was that BRIGHT red hair (since we've never met and all)...but after reading the comments I realize you aren't the proud owner of DDD's. JK ;) That card is definitely a keeper!

LOVE the card. If yours look that good at 39, I can only imagine what a knock out they were at 20!
With apologies for the possible inappropriateness of the comment, but when you post a hand drawn picture of yourself like that, you've got to expect a comment or two...or three (;
Love your blog and your love of the Lord
