A Birthday Gift and an Award


Today is my birthday, so Happy Birthday to me. And just look at the wonderful gift I received from Sally. I just love it. This design was on my wishlist, and it was only Friday that Sally was asking me when my birthday was. I usually keep quiet about it. Little did I know she was already stitcing away! Not only did Sally stitch the pinkeep/scissor keep, she also included the scissors, and they are beautiful. It's funny, but it was only Friday we had a conversation about scissors, I think I'm becoming a collector. I'm just in the middle of ordering some Gingher's. I'm orderin my self stash - a present to me. I won't say how old I am, but I am now starting the countdown to the big one - five oh, oh no. I'm not sure how I became this age, I'm only 20 in my head! Apologies for the poor quality pictures, and I have no idea why the photo of the back (below) appears pink. Taken within a minute of each other, same place, same lighting - who knows?.




And now for an award. I was given this by Dawn, and I was thrilled, so as part of this I need to list my top 5 addictions, and also give the award to 5 bloggers-which is always the hardest part. I just love so many blogs, but I will choose 5, but please don't be disappointed if you're not on there, it doesn't mean that I don't love your blog any less.



My 5 addictions are:

1. My children - I love them to pieces
2. Chocolate - I could live on it
3. Stitching - I could stitch all day
4. The Internet - I could browse all day
5. Shopping - for stash - is there any other shopping?

5 awards to

Happy Birthday to you!! Lovely presents- I just love the Holly and Berry's piece - The colors look so crisp and they just pop!

You know, I'm already in the decade you're approaching and sometimes it takes me by surprise when I see that older woman in photos that seems to be me, but in my head I'm so young!! I guess that's Mother Nature playing her little joke on us. Don't worry - it's all in the attitude - you're young if you feel young!
