Happy Birthday To Me

Image
Hey Y'all how are ya today? I am having a pretty low key day, off work for 3 days helps! So it is that time of year again :) I have aged another year! Phew  the last one flew past too quickly. I love this cake! I found the photo on Bing search. My Birthday is actually Monday and since I have to work that day I decided to make a weekend of it early. Tomorrow I think I am gonna take the day to myself and wander some junk shops, eat some place Lee would never and just enjoy myself. Its supposed to he sunny and 60 tomorrow so I think it will be a good day for it. Sunday is the GREAT AMERICAN RACE! the Daytona 500 and since Lee got cable installed for the first time in years I can actually see it! WHOO HOO!  If somehow it has escaped you I am a huge race fan (well racing,football, baseball,etc...)and Jeff Burton has been my driver for years, now that he is semi retired I have to pull for me 2nd favorite Jimmie Johnson! Lee is a Jeff Gordon fan, so are both my sister

Hey Y'all! How are ya today? It is snowing again here in the southeastern part of Virginia, I cannot recall a time since I was very little (maybe late 70s) since we have had so much snow. I know all my Northern and West and Mid West friends think that is hysterical, but we don't get this much snow...ever! It'll be gone quick....again so I am gonna love it while I can. OK So I promised you my other swap! Oh my gosh have you met Holly at  Cotton Pickin Fun? She is so talented and creative and we have so much in common! I have a new friend for life in her! We love a lot of the same things so when Sandy at 521 Lake Street matched us for her Valentine Swap She could not have picked a better pair! Thanks Sandy :) We both LOVE everything Vintage and golly did she spoil me. The Cutest and sweetest tiny handmade felt bear and heart. SO SWEET! In a tiny valentine decorated matchbox! It all arrived in this lovely box. I am gonna use it for October Afternoon Bits a

Hey Yall, How are you today? Do you have a favorite month? I have 4 favorite months...February, April, October & December. I think February is my most favorite, for several reasons. WINTER! I love it.  I love the feeling of February, Valentines Day, My niece April, My friends Nathan, Amy, Joy and Julie, My sister Laura, and I all have our Birthday this month. Joy, Amy and I all share the same birthday, I think that is so neat :) Joy and I went to JR High and High School together and Amy and I worked together. They are special ladies. Speaking of special ladies, I have sent out my February notes, RAK, and Swap packages. Look at this pile! I LOVE FEBRUARY :)
