Welcome to... The Milk & Honey TeaRoom

Your Hostess:


Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. I'm your hostess Lady Rachel, and this is the blog of a fourteen-year-old girl, who is striving to become a woman of God. I am a homeschool student, living on our small hobby farm with my 7 siblings, from ranging from ages 18-1yo. Take a look at my life as the 3rd daughter from a large homeschooling family and how God walks with me through it. Blessings!

HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY, JOCELYN!!!

Posted in Birthdays

Photobucket

Today is my lovely sister, Jocelyn's birthday. She is17 today. In honour of 17th birthday, I am hosting a blog party for her. Being as English-loving as she is, she is having her party in England. You are welcome to come as well. You have all received an invitation I am sure.

First and foremost, I want to say how much I *adore, love, admire, and respect* my sister. She is such a blessing to me, I just love her! I want her to know with this birthday party.

Now, when you come (as you are doing now), the quests' are up and waiting. The Birthday Song begins as you come in...

Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, dear Jocelyn!
Happy birthday to you!
Love you!

Her dinner party is in an elegant dining hall. Big enough for everyone I think. :) There is crystal china, polished silver spoons, and beautiful table decorations. There are also some paintings we thought she would like.



Of course, being in England, you would have to eat *real* English food. We are catering you with specialized,  with a lot of organic foods, dinner. Oh boy, I can hardly wait to dig in! It looks so good!


And, of course, on your birthday, you must have a cake. I like your cake. Amanda picked it out. It looks vintage, don't you think? :) Hope you like it anyways.

The image “http://www.whitelacewedding.com/50226711/cake487.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

All right, well, I hope you enjoyed your blog party! It was so fun hosting it for you.... :) LOVE YOU, BIG SIS!

Love,
  Lil' Sis

My dear Rachel -

No prob about not commenting - I understand that you don't have much blogging time. I apologize it has taken me so long to reply.

Yes, I enjoyed posting about Luli. :) She is so adorable that I couldn't *not* post!

LOL! I bet you could use 5 computers! You Dixons are very active in the blogosphere. ;)

Thanks for the beautiful bookmark you sent!! I sent MJ's package on the 8th, and in it is a gift for you as well as a loooong letter. ;) I'm afraid it won't arrive right on MJ's birthday, since I didn't get it out in time. Thanks for helping me think of a gift for her! Love ya too :)

Thank you for your opinion on the template... I don't think I will switch over just yet, because I like my Caspian template still. I might put the springy one up after it comes out, but I'm not sure.

I think of you often as well. You are one of my very good friends.

Glad you're joining the Prayer Challenge! It's very good that you're praying for America, because our country needs a *lot* of prayer. China's a good one too.

I think I told Jocelyn this; but I think I'll wait till the Summer issue of KoF to do the interview, for several reasons. I was having a hard time thinking of questions and I really wanted to get KoF out soon. Plus, it will probably go better in the summer issue, and that gives us more time to work on it. I hope you don't mind! I'll try to get the questions together soon. Also, if you want to submit something for the summer issue, that would be great. Did you get my e-mail I sent to your mom's address about it a while ago?

Speaking of KoF, the May/Spring '08 edition is up! I posted about it. You can check the new issue out at http://www.kidsoffaith.blogspot.com.

It has been very fun chatting with you. :) I hope we can do it often.

Love ya, dear! Praying for you too.

Love,
~Kylie
