It's our birthday today, Chatterbox is 8 and I am a few years older than that.
I have had some lovely pressies, including subscriptions to 2 quilting magazines, a gift voucher for to buy some books for my iPod, some money, which is burning a hole in my pocket, and this beautiful journal with a quilted cover from my friend Bilbo. She knows me so well, it is in a lovely mellow yellow fabric, and she has quilted my favourite feathers on it. Note: here is the photo I promised:
Another note: Bilbo has sent me much better photos so I've put these in instead. She did also point out in passing, that I had shown the back. Well, in my defence I would say that was cos my photo of the front was not very good. As for opening it up, well, I never thought of that. Duh!!!!
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, tra la . . . oh no, we've already done that and my singing was no better on the phone!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday-I hope it's wonderful and you get to spend that money before you ruin a pocket!
