well My SS is soooo clever. She actually sent my May package to Hobby Lobby after it took a trek around the states. What a sneak she is to try to hide her identity. Sure makes the detective work difficult. The package I received was awesome - I mean awesome. She had accordian folded a yard of the blue and brown "running 8th" fabric and tied it all up with ribbon around a spool of matching thread. I really hate to unwrap the cute packaging. I have been wanting to try out this fabric but have not gotten around to buying any. I have just the project for it and hope to start it soon. Also she sent a great selection of novelty fabric squares for my grandson's I-Spy quilt. He is going to really like the selection. Also was included a yard of red fabric with balloons all over it. That is going to go well with my happy birthday banners I have been collecting fabric for. The package also included a mini journal notebook for recording my quilt ideas and a magnetic pin picker upper. I am going to get lots of use out of this little gadget. The best is for last - a great book on color quilts by Freddy Moran and Gwen Marston called Collaborative Quilting. I have already discovered more quilt ideas to record in my mini notebook by just flippin through a few pages. This week I will study the book further. Thanks girlfriend for such a wonderful May birthday surprise and I will open the birthday card Friday on the big day. Thanks again - you are wonderful.
Since I will not be here tomorrow I want to wish you a happy birthday
I will be stressing out literally. My test stress is tomorrow. I hope you have the best birthday ever and thank you for the fine job that you do as SS mom.

ok, first of all, it is raining and I didn't want to get out of bed and spend my birthday all alone, til the guys get home tonight, but I am glad I did cause I remember these boxes, and ran downstairs!
and quiltbea, your card was right, I am all choked up with tears running down my face!
37 cards, including the one from everyone who couldn't participate, the cards were enough, they were cute, funny, and even got 2 musical ones,(still doing the chicken dance) and the one that sings "what a wonderful world" that is one of my fav songs of all times!!!
that box also had 4, yes 4! boxes for russell stover sf choc!!!!!! I know what I am eating all day!!
ok, I am now going to open the other box:
oh my goodness, a card with a$50 gift cert for fabric shack????? now the tears are flowing! it says from purple butterfly, or is she the one who ordered it??
oh my......28 pieces of the most beautiful 30's repo's I have ever seen, and I don;t have one of them!!!!! Plus a fabric chack measuring tape and key ring!!
Oh ladies, you shouldn't have! I wasn't looking forward to today, and you have made it the most special birthday I have had in a long time!!!
You all have touched my heart, and I have made some many friends thru ss, I am truly blessed!
and what a wonderful group of ladies, with wonderful hearts!!
I just can't thank you enough, when I get done crying I will take a pic!!
thanks again for making this a great day!
