Anyone remember Kool and the Gang?
It happened again... I had another birthday!
I had very few birthday parties due to bad weather conditions. Thank goodness I had three siblings. That's practically a party itself!
No parties this year either, but I did get bombarded with birthday cards from exchanges I participated in. I also received a card from work and one from Menards along with a certificate for a free screwdriver, lol.
There were a couple of unexpected surprises that showed up in the mail from my stitching friends. You gals are the best!
Wrapped in pretty pink tissue paper and bound with silver sparkly fiber, this came from Pam at My Stitchin-n-Stuff. Hmmm... Wonder what it could be??
Oooh! A needlebook! So adorable.
With 3 sizes of gold needles.
The colors in the needlebook make me smile.
So bright and cheery :)
These silk handkerchiefs came from Shelley at Shelley's Artsy Fartsy Life.
Her grandmother got them when she was in the orient.
They're so pretty!
CJ at Tea and Stitches says, "Every girl deserves chocolate on her birthday."
Along with the huge chocolate bar, she sent me a beautiful scarf she made.
For my birthday, my parents took me out to eat at the local chinese food buffet. Yummy!
At Christmas, the BF got me a quilting book, "Sylvia's Bridal Sampler from Elm Creek Quilts." As part of my birthday present, he got me a set of quilting rulers. Now I just have to pick out the fabrics. Choices, choices!

Meari,
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I remember cool and the gang and that song. Now it will be stuck in my head all day! :)
You got some great cards and floss colors. The needlebook is pretty and so you. How sweet of your friend to think of you with those neat looking silk handkerchiefs. A girl has to have chocolate and a scarf to go with it.
The buffet looks delicious. I can't wait to see what you come up with a quilt theme.
Happy Happy day to you!
Happy belated birthday!! I was born in February, so I understand about the weather...I have a very clear memory of our driveway covered in an inch of ice. I boiled some water and was determined that I'd clear it off, pot by pot! I think it only took me two before I realized it was completely hopeless. =)
Happy Birthday Meari. Sounds like you had a nice one and lots of great mail you got there. This weather has changed a lot of plans. Around here schools are closed again due today.
Happy Belated Birthday! Looks like you got some lovely surprises.
