Have a lovely day!! I echo the other sentiments, you are truly a lovely person, with great tact, kindness, people skills, seamstress skills and your weekly thread of happiness is something I always look forward to.

Hope you have a great birthday, (I was shocked to see it was 50, I thought you were in your early 40's!!!)

Happy Birthday again, across the miles, as my family says

Happy happy birthday!

Happy birthday, dear Diane! You light up the forum whenever you are here. I hope you have a fantastic day!

Happy birthday, Diane. Enjoy your wonderful presents and special evening.

Wishing you the best of birthdays Diane

Diane, I am so glad you are part of this forum as you help make it what it is, a very special place to "hang out" and share fashion, life stories and fun. Your lovely personality shines through in every post you make.

I wish you a very Happy Birthday and a super fun weekend!

Happy Birthday Dear Diane! You are one fabulous lady with a fabulous talent! Have a wonderful day!

Chocolates for breakfast - PERFECT.

Diane, it's a pleasure to hear you so happy. And quite the milestone birthday too. Your new camera is absolutely brilliant, and I hope we see it in action daily. Bop away to Depeche Mode tonight - I'll be bopping with you in spirit. xo

(Thanks, Denise. You're sweet).

Happy Birthday! I so admire your talents and your giving spirit!

Your gifts are wonderful!

Happy Birthday, Diane! It has been such a huge pleasure getting to know you a bit here and watching your style blossom. You are so incredibly gifted and hard-working, and as Angie says, your gorgeous soulful eyes light up the screen!

I love that you started the "Happy" thread here at YLF and maintain it with such grace and gentleness. It was a kind thing to do and a gift to the forum.

I hope you have a wonderful day with some good friends and loved ones!

Great prezzies! Thanks for sharing your loot virtually with us. Now I can't wait to see you post your first selfies in WIWs with that new beauty!

Happy Birthday, dear Diane! I hope it is the start of a fabulous-at-50 year!

Happy Birthday Delightful D!

Happiest of days, Diane! What wonderful presents!

Thanks for all your marvelous input on the forum. Love your personal style and your amazing construction skills!

Thank you everyone, for such lovely heartfelt birthday wishes. It means a lot to me. I had an absolute blast last night and didn't turn into bed till gone 2am! Family dinner planned for today. I think I'm allowed a two day birthday for my half century

Diane, I am late.. .my apologies! Wishing you all the best for your birthday. You are one special lady and I am thrilled to know you.

365 days a year of happy moments to you, Diane. for the next fifty-one years at least.

Diane, sorry for being late here. My dear, Angie makes it hard to follow on her tribute
I wish you a wonderful, memorable birthday and may the best years be ahead of you. You're inspiring mum, stylish lady, skilled professional but above all extremely supportive forum friend. Your Happy Moments are one of my favourite things around here and I cannot thank you enough for starting them and keeping them going week after week.
Hugs all the way back to Midlands (we were almost neighbours...).

Happy birthday! Oh I am so envious of your camera. I had a really nice Fuji bridge camera that met with an untimely end at Lake Ontario last summer. I'm in the market for a good replacement and have been doing some research into other bridge and DSLR cameras.

I hope your birthday and celebrations are as fantastic as you are!

Chocolates for your birthday breakfast, I fully approve And a Depeche Mode concert, it gets better and better!!-)
Sorry to be late to the party, dear Diane, but happy birthday to you, you gorgeous creature! And of course you are allowed an extra day to celebrate your very special 50th. My word, I think this deserves at least a full month of celebrations
The camera and accompanying book are brilliant prezzies, wow, exactly the kind of special treat you deserve. Have fun experimenting with your new toy.

Diane, you are a seamstress extraordinaire, who seemingly effortless whips up the most beautifully tailored pieces (your clients are lucky to have you).I am in constant awe of your skills, but am just as much in awe of who you are as person: incredibly kind, thoughtful, strong and always here for us with a smile and supportive words. The weekly "Happy Moments" threads are just an example of that to me, and I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoy them. They are absolutely one of my highlights at the beginning of each new week. Thank you for being wonderful you.

I hope you have fun with the continued celebrations!-)

Happy Birthday to a fabulous person!

Belated happy birthday wishes to you, Diane! Even better to read that it was a two day event with friends and family! You are always generous with sharing your sewing knowledge and I love that you started the Happy Moments thread!

Belated happy 50th to you! Hope the year ahead is wonderful!

Happy birthday Diane! I hope you had a great birthday and a wonderful year!

Happy (belated) Birthday, Diane. May your year be filled with Happy Moments.

Happy birthday Diane! Your outfit from Angie's today blogpost is impecabely stylish and trendy!
