wish cathibeth a brilliant birthday (July 10)!

I put this on my list and then promptly went out of town. So a VERRRRRY belated happy birthday to you!

Sorry for being so late…my only excuse is that I was at camp with NO computer…

happy belated birthday Cathibeth…hope it was BRILLIANT!

Wishing you a creative year filled with positive excitement and challenge.

You are a true inspiration!!

This is a belated birthday wish, but cathibeth, I hope your birthday was most excellent!

I hope this year is filled with joy and love for you and yours, and that it be free of strife and struggle!

I want to echo what others have said. Cathibeth, you made 43T a community for me. You’re a large part of why I’ve spent the last 43 weeks hanging out in 43T.

You were one of the first people who really reached out to me on 43Things, and I appreciate the way you took the time to make me feel like a real person here, not just another anonymous username. I am sending wishes full of love and happiness to you, and I hope you’ve had an amazing day! :)

Have the most wonderful day Cathibeth! May the next year of your life be vibrant, happy and wonderful – just as you deserve! xxx

she’s sweet as honey, talented, and a great person… may all your days be full of brilliance~

My dear friend Cathie,

You’ve had such highs and lows this past year. I wish I could have eased your pain during those trying times, or even eliminated them all together. But it’s through adversity that we grow, and you have grown beautifully through it all.

For the coming year, I see good things ahead. May you find inspiration for your artwork through the little things that you encounter each day. May you find an new outlet for the love that was lost. And may a larger audience find your remarkable talent.

You’re truly one in a million.
