So It's my birthday today, and it's a birthday with a "0" in it, eeeeeep! So it goes. *shrug*
And look what Jim made for me!
A giant portrait of me and Clementine as chimaera!
Clementine added for scale :-) |
HOLY, is it not gorgeous???
Wow wow wow. It's so beautiful, and it's so nice and big for our empty walls.
I'll post a clearer picture of it later--these are with my phone.
But now ... off to eat crab and coconut cake with my family.
XO XO

Happy Birthday! He did a fantastic job, it is gorgeous! I hadn't realized I share a birthday with my very favorite author! Hope it's a great one!
Happy happy birthday! That painting is AMAZING. What a perfect gift to celebrate an awesome year. Merry Christmas!!
It's beautiful! What an awesome and thoughtful gift.

That is super amazingly incredibly AWESOME!!!!! Happy, Happy Birthday Laini's!!! Such a talented family.....just when I thought Clementine was as adorable as she could get...
Happy birthday! That is a gorgeous portrait.
Love it! Wow, Jim!
And of course, Happy Happy Birthday to you, Laini! :) :)
So, so, so beyond gorgeous! I love your expression. Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday! Your hubby is so talented. I want to be a chimaera too. lol You and your daughter look adorable and I love how your husband truly captured you in the expression. Could I post a copy of the picture in my Goodreads group? We just discussed your book.
Beautiful! Wow, that's so cool. It would be so cool if there was, like, a fancy Daughter of Smoke and Bone website where everyone could get one of these and go on adventures and... Yeah, I dunno. But I guess it's extra special because it's specially for you. Awesome.
Oh, and happy birthday! :)
Amazing....and Happy Birthday!!!
That is the most awesome thing I have seen all day. No, all YEAR. Dude. Now I need to go find someone to turn me into a chimaera, ASAP.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! *throws many wishes and joys your way*
Wow, incredible. Love the personality shining through it, too. Happy birthday!
Happy 30th! ;)
Many happy returns of the day, Laini, and again, good wishes and congrats about your movie deal. Joy to you and yours this holiday!
Wow!! Your husband is one talented dude! Also, we share a birthday! Happy birthday to us!
A bit late, but happy birthday! And how gorgeous. What a personal, wonderful present.
I am incredibly jealous, that is a beautiful gift. Happy Birthday!
Wow, it's gorgeous! Hope you have a very happy birthday :-)
Gasp. Awesome.
Coolest. Present. Ever!
Happy Birthday, Laini! And don't worry about the "0". I too have one in mine, and it's been great so far...
Wow, you girls make two very beautiful chimaeras! Watch out, Madrigal! What an amazing present! Beautiful job, Jim!

Happy belated birthday, Laini! The picture is gorgeous. <3
Wow, Jim! So lovely! He really captured you and Clementine.
Happy belated birthday and merry Christmas, you guys! xoxo
Miss Laini, you and Clementine both make lovely chimerae, or whatever is the plural of that word. I do believe I'm getting Daughter of Smoke and Bone for Christmas - super excited!
Love your smile, dimples and tattoos. Clementine looks so grown up. What a sweet and wonderful present your talented husband has given to you. When I saw the picture I got all warm and fuzzy feeling inside thinking about your happy family. Thank you for sharing your special gift with us and making us feel good too. With a bday that starts out with a present like this I know you must have had a body bursting with joy kind of day. Happy Birthay Laini!
*sings off-key*
Happy birthday to you,
happy birthday to you,
happy birthday, dear Laini,
happy birthday to you!

A belated Happy Birthday to you! Such a wonderful portrait!! Happy Holidays - and thank you for your inspiration! :-)
Belated Happy Birthday, Laini! And that's one cool portrait. :)
Thanks so much everyone for the very kind words about the painting. It was such a fun and rewarding piece to work on, and all of your praise is very much appreciated! Thanks and Happy New Year! :)

Happy Belated birthday! And even with a 0 in it, they only get better. Love the portrait.
