Happy Birthday Donkey!

Have you ever flicked through your own archives? I did last week. I was hunting through trying to find a particular post to link to and guess what I found! Yes my dearest and beloved Donkey is one.

There has been very little sighting of Donkey on this blog for quite some time but don't think he has been quiet. Oh no! As well as the pictures shown on the original post we have (some have been posted before)

row one- Russian Doll Donkey, Ghostie Donkey card sold in a REAL shop, d/Boy's birthday card last year (obviously NOT b/c it was 10pm and I didn't have one)
row two - FrankenDonkey card, Halloween donkey and Witchy-Poo Donkey card.

We have Bandelero Donkey, Surfer Donkey, Santa Donkey & for Missus Silver Pebble a Mr. Darcy Donkey while Domesticali got a Laundry Donkey . There was some stitchy work for Missus Locket as well as a congratulations card . You will be pleased to hear I actually crumpled up and threw away the Donkey I drew after hearing about Mr. Moog headbutting a car. There has been Astrounaut Donkey, Wizard Donkey and Chicken-feeding Donkey, Jane Austen Donkey and more.

We boarded the plane for TGTH with pad and pen in hand and Donkey kept a wider audience entertained. For a wee girl fed up with flying we drew a Rapunzel Donkey. Sadly when we got home Donkey was quite poorly received :-( They just don't get talent.

Then back in May there was surprise package came to my door. Well, I was surprised, I don't think the package was. Look what was inside!

This is the amazing work of SilverPebble as commissioned by Lucy Locket. It is a birthday present for me - how lucky am I?

In our house birthdays are extended to last a whole week (longer if I can get away with it when it is my turn ;-) and Donkey's special day is no exception so to keep the party atmosphere happening all week there will be a present given away everytime I post. Today's wee giftie is a personalised drawing of the Donkey himself. Leave a comment with a suggestion for a picture and I shall choose one that hasn't been drawn before (believe me the list exists and it's long) so get your thinking caps on and let the ideas flow!
