Yup, I turning 45 On tomorrow at 9:45 AM! It's so funny cause I don't feel 45. I still look forward to watching all my favorite cartoons and even some new ones. 45 feels really good. Happy Birthday to me!!!
Happy B-day Vanessa!! I love your attitude and hey - age is a state of mind right? (I guess that makes all children's book illustrators truly kids at heart) Love your work as always and this illo is positively yummy! :>
happy birthday to you vanessa! you look positively glowing in that illo! it's beautiful. i love it when women feel shiny and confident regardless of their age. that's what beauty is all about!
YAY!!! And Yipppeeeee!!! and happy birthday to the bright, wonderful, talented, beautiful and brilliant you!!! Wishing you a year just filled with magnificent ideas and colors and lots more cartoons and very fun times:-)
very big, best and special birthday wishes,
linda xx
PS: this is an incredibly beautiful illustration too - wonderful and celebratory!
Oh my gosh, I love the comment you left for me re: King Kong. You are so funny! I hope your birthday was as sweet as all of your beautiful sugary drawings!
OOOOH HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I am so ashamed that I didn't get my thing in the mail in time for your bday, but it's sitting ready to go to the post office by the back door...since my eyes are looking a little more normal maybe I'll dare to go out in public this week, ha ha! ANYWAY I hope you had the best day ever, no one deserves it more than you. And this illo is gorgeous as usual!
Happy belated birthday and I am so glad you stopped by! Thank you for your warm comments. Your illustrations are delightful and I don't know how I have missed your blog until now. Feel free to visit any time and have a great weekend!
I know I'm late but just discovered you thanks to your visit on my blog! I love your style and admire the way you show proudly your 45 years!!! And it's been two months since I have the same haircut (and wear it with the same kind of earrings ;D)
Happy Birthday gurl, always knew there was more talent that had yet to be seen and know, there's still more to come. Go you, I remember you 40 surprise, go Ms. 45, I pray to do it just as well. Love you, Dosia
I don't think we ever really feel our age...do we? I know when I am 90 I still hope to feel like a teenager. Happy Birthday. Congrats on all you have accomplished. You are an inspiration.
Thanks so much for taking time out of your busy life to leave a comment. Please feel free to leave something funny, constructive or encouraging. Thanks again.
