Jody and Janna's Bloggy Buddy Birthday Bonanza!

So I promised something special was happening today...

Not only is it my birthday, it's fellow writer and friend Jody Hedlund's! We couldn't let the excitement of a twofer pass without celebration. And we want you to join us for a virtual birthday party!




You're invited to the comments section of this post, where cakes and decorations and excitement await. Bring your signature party recipes, silly games and special entertainment. Let's have fun!



If you don't know Jody, please visit her blog. She recently signed a three-book deal with Bethany House, which means you can both congratulate her and wish her a happy birthday. You'll enjoy her posts while you're there, too, for she's humble and forthright with her journey to publication.

Happy Birthday, Jody! And Happy Birthday, me! [This just in: It's Jenna's birthday, too! Three writers! Three Js! I never knew November 3rd could be so much fun.]

  15. Happy Birthday ladies!!!

    I want to play pin the chair on the writer. That sounds like fun! :)Great idea Krista.

    The cake looks wonderful, and the mint chocolate ice cream...yummy!

    I've brought along a large assortment of cookies...all of which I made while procrastinating with NaNoWriMo. Speaking of that... I guess I can't stay too long.

    Happy Birthday again. I loved the party!!! :)

  33. Just wandered over from Jody's blog to wish you a Happy Birthday. Birthdays are wonderful opportunities to celebrate the life God has given each of us and it's lovely when friends share their special day.

    Virtual parties are such fun! I haven't been to one since Rachelle's back in mid June. So, where's the coffee pot? I intended to bring some brownies along but my DH ate the whole pan! 'Fraid you'll have to settle for some Tim Horton's cinnamon buns that I picked up on the way here.
