Celebrating Ella Jade Turning ...

Welcome to the birthday celebration for Ella Jade!


In my family, birthdays are a grand celebration that last not just a day, but a weekend, sometimes a week and they’ve even been known to stretch to a month. So obviously I didn’t blink when Ella Jade put out a call for a Birthday Blog Hop. Why not?

Now certain birthdays are viewed as more milestones. Over the years, I’ve made lists and threw out certain goals. I wanted to be married by 30, and then have children. Near the top, was publish a book. Most of them have come true. (I won’t share the one I remember not, because there’s still time.)

Tell me: So now that Ella Jade has turned 40, what do you think should be on her list?



Enter to Win: Even though it’s Ella Jade’s birthday celebration, we’re giving away prizes to you! You’ve got potentially many prizes to win.

I’m giving away an electronic .pdf copy of a book from my backlist.

Grand Prize: $100 Amazon or Barnes and Noble (winner's choice) Gift Card. To enter, please leave comment with your e-mail address. The more places you comment, the more chances you have to win. 

Until next time!

Louisa Bacio

  11. My daughter loves mermaids, and she was always upset because they were hard to find, the collectibles, not toys, and she wanted her pretties like mine. So, I found at the Hallmark store that they had the Coral Kingdom collection, A mermaid for every month, one holding the sign and a huge underwater castle night light. So I put the whole collection on layaway and took a whole year to pay it off. But the year she got them, the smile on her face was worth more than any birthday presents I could have gotten. Thanks for sharing Ella's wonderful day and the giveaways. evamillien at gmail dot com

    Happy Birthday, Ella!

  19. Happy 40th Birthday to Ella! What should be on her list? hmm. How about something wild and crazy like skydiving, scuba diving, or bungy jumping. I threw those out there because if I wasn't such a chicken, they would be on MY list. LOL

  27. I suppose Ella should review her list at this time and add that dream vacation to it. AND be sure to take it. Life's too short spend it all with your nose to the grindstone.
