Visit each of the participating designers' blogs to see what special birthday creation they have made.for me. You'll want to visit them in the order listed below, because ...

In addition to sharing some creative fun, each designer will also have a letter (of the alphabet) to share with you. If you put all the letters together, it will spell out the special code with which to claim your party favor. Email the code to Deedee at amiste@sonic.net and she'll send you the new "Happy Birthday to Ewe" digi!

Once you've collected your party favor, please make sure you leave me a Birthday wish (comment)! On Monday, I will choose one random winner from among my well-wishers who will receive a GOLDEN grand prize -- a $50 credit to spend at Deedee's Digis store!
