HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANIE!

Hi everyone, this is Liene from Splendid Communications.  Today is Janie’s birthday, your hostess here at The Bride’s Cafe, and several of us wanted to surprise her with some birthday love.  She has absolutely no idea that we’re posting this on her blog, but I guess that’s what she gets for giving me her password! So without further ado, here are some birthday love notes for Janie . . .

One of the things I’ve always admired about Janie is the way she cares about other people.  She personally speaks on the phone to many of the wedding professionals she features on The Bride’s Cafe and over time has developed strong, personal relationships with many across the industry. She knows them outside of her email inbox, and is genuinely interested in helping them succeed.  Quite simply, Janie brings out the best in people.  Her graceful nature, quiet humor, and desire to leave the world a more beautiful place than she found it are an inspiration.

Happy birthday, Janie! I am lucky to be able to call you both a colleague and a friend.

xxox.
Liene

from Nole at Oh So Beautiful Paper:

Happy Birthday Janie! You’ve been such an incredible source of inspiration for me, both last year, when I was planning my own wedding and looking for floral inspiration, and now, post-wedding, when I just need a bit of eye candy on a rough day. You’re an amazing talent – and I can’t wait to see what this next year brings for you!  xoxo –Nole
