I'd like to wish my beloved daughter, Jessica, a happy 21st birthday today!
In celebration, I'm offering my readers the chart I designed especially for Jessica's birthday. The quote in this chart, "Surely A Star Danced In Heaven The Day You Were Born," was inspired by a line in Shakespeare's play Much Ado About Nothing. I hope you love the chart and quote as much as I do!
This was the first Shakespeare Jessie ever saw; at age 8, I let her watch the movie and that year a nearby group performed the play and we had tickets. Jessie laughed at all the right parts. I had her hooked! Over the years, we attended every Shakespeare play performed near enough to drive to, including Oklahoma's Shakespeare in the Park every summer. We have been fortunate enough to see plays at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London, Regent's Park Theatre, London and the Royal Shakespeare Company theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. This fostered respect and a love of theatre in Jessica which now she would like to make her career; to this end she is studying Theatre Technologies in school.
Jessica, you rock! You go girl! Happy birthday!

Isn't it wonderful to have a daughter? I was so excited when mine was born almost 26 years ago! I am now going to be on a mission to make these wonderful designs for birthdays. (of course if I get one done, I will feel like I was successful!) Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent. I know your daughter's heart will be touched with such a special gift!

Happy belated Birthday to your daughter, Jessica!

Happy belated birthday to your daughter !!!!
I never figured you had a big daughter! You look too young for having a 21 yo. Congrats on her birthday!
BTW I think it's awesome, I was looking for a chart that might be stitched overnight, my friend Jessica's birthday is next 25th, she's like a daughter to me. Will be here next Saturday for cross stitching, I thought doing something cross-stitch wise, this is perfect to keep the tools, I'll email you the pict when I finish it. Thanks for the chart!
Belated birthday wishes for your daughter. Thanks for the link to the freebie as I have downloaded it and will try to do that for my daughters birthday in April.
Very belated best wishes for your DD - hope all her dreams come true. :0)
Lovely design, thank you. :0)
This is WONDERFUL!!! my DD will be 18 on Jan12th...I gotta stitch fast to get it done by then!
Thanks!!!
