Today I am throwing a Party For Miss Marty of A Stroll Thru Life!!! She is celebrating a HUGE milestone birthday. (But I’ll let her tell you how young she is. 🙂 She thinks I am just taking her to lunch. But a few of her favorite people are gathering together to celebrate her!

I first met Marty five years ago at a Bloggers Tea.
I just instantly liked her (and Maija too!:)
Over the years we have celebrated many happy and Royal occasions together.

And sometimes we just get together for no reason at all.
In the wintertime…
…and in the summertime, I just love being with Miss Marty.
And although the blogging world introduced us we are now more than blogging chums, we are true blue friends. I know I only have to pick up the phone and Miss Marty would be by my side in an instant.

I’m getting all choked up just writing about her! She truly is my Queen of Hearts so I made a sash and tiara befitting her. I will be her official birthday photographer today.
Our good times and shenanigans will be captured on my Instagram Page. (Just click on the highlighted link to see.)

She is so adorable lady, isn't she?
I met her in the blogging world since 2009 and since then, she is one of my fave bloggie lady. We changed gifts and although, I am miles away, she never hesitate to sent those beautiful things.
TY for hosting and keeping the secret. Wish I am around so I could join you all (a party crasher). I never thought that I am just 11 days older, LoL*
GB you all.

Happiest of birthdays Marty…I will see you in October !! Big hugs Laura.
I remember when she came for the day of cleaning at the time of the last move. Marty is really and truly a gem in the blog world. She was was of the first bloggers I followed. I credit her for making me a much better “vignetter”. I started by just copycatting her stuff.
Happy Birthday! I hope she's strolling thru life for many, many years to come!
how sweet
It is just wonderful to find a sweet person like you describe Marty
