Happy birthday !! two times the fun

Happy Birthday for two very wonderful gals . I am fortunate to know one as a great friend and the other as a lovely lady. And in honor of the two ( who are twins and born on different days, how fun not to share a birthdate) Here is a tribute in ink, to them both .

HAPPY BIRTHDAY , LADIES!!!
What better of a way to celebrate than with a ginormous blog hop . So sit back grab your coffee or drink of choice and follow along.
