Yep..my 61st..and it was great...and Braxton & Lulu got their treats as well..{but not cake..}
After having a Red Velvet Cake at work..I got home to banners, balloons, birthday cards and presents and lots of love.
Mr. B wanted to take me out to dinner, but I asked for his aMAzIng grilled cheese sandwiches instead..he uses Gouda and Provolone on fresh sesame bread..can you say YUM-OH?!
{Bless me Weight Watchers, for I have sinned..}
Then, when I checked Facebook, I found out my photo of Kitty Litter Cake from last year's Halloween party won a $50 gift certificate from Anastasia's Attic in Gardner Village, a quaint boutique shopping "town" with all historic houses..lovely.
{And the store is my very fAVoRite in the whole village!!}
Tomorrow {or today if you're reading this on Thursday, is my sister Kathy's birthday as well..although I am still younger..even though she was born the day after me..it was many MANY years before my birth..heeheehee..
So, I made her one of my cloth books..this one is a story of the strong women from our heritage..all Irish and strong..and beautiful. See?? Can I be any more blessed?
Here's how it turned out...
{This is a print on an antique handkerchief that I printed the month of October (from 1888) Tennyson calender on..I circled the 7th..}
She called and said it had arrived..and she liked it. I'm very glad. And I'm very blessed..
Have a wonderful day on her birthday tomorrow..I know she'd think that was a great gift as well..

Well Hey! Happy Birthday. Well a couple of days ago but still...just the same. So glad you had a grand ole' day. If I'd known I'd have 't-peed' your lawn. In the most graceful way, of course.
Happy Belated Colleen! I missed this! Not sure if it's my computer or if there really is a new dashboard layout. The pics are huge and I'm having trouble finding people :(
