That’s right, friends. We celebrated another birthday here at Paper Crafts this week. Our amazing Online Editor Extraordinaire, Kelly Smith, turned 29 yet again on March 8.
And, as per usual, the Paper Crafts team, namely Stace, pulled out all the stops. A new sign, a fun cake, and well-wishes all around.
Our birthday preparations always begin with a theme. This year’s theme for Kelly was a no-brainer. For Kelly has many passions, but there’s none so strong as her affection for Coke.
For Kelly, Coke is the necessary elixir for getting through the day. Indeed, none of our days is quite complete without the spissshhhh sound of the pull tab releasing the built-up carbonation in Kelly’s first can of Coke each morning. Someone from the cube farm in which we reside inevitably says, “Kelly’s here!” and we know that the day has truly begun in earnest.
Take a look at the fun Stace had in preparing for PK’s celebrations:

How awesome is this?

And keeping with tradition, Stace has created this fantasy photo to fit this year’s theme.

More of “the real thing” for Kelly
Join me in wishing Kelly a happy birthday, friends! May the upcoming year bring all that Kelly desires, including plenty of her magical elixir!
Yours in celebrating PK,
~Cath
