♪♫ Celebrate Good Times... C'mon! ♫ ♪ ♫

Anyone remember Kool and the Gang? 

It happened again... I had another birthday!

 

It was my birthday last week.  Recent weather conditions lately have reminded me of the weather we used to have when I was a kid. 

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!
