My family blessed me also. My oldest son and DIL who live out of town sent a card and called. I will get to see them on his birthday which is in March. My second son came over and brought the flowers to me. A very nice surprise. My daughter got the movie Julie and Julia for me. Because the snow melted my husband was able to take me out to eat at an Italian restaurant named Carrabas. Sunday I will get to take him out to eat because it is his birthday. We are the same age.
I was also blessed by winning a giveaway that Rae Ann was having on her blog called Cutie Pinwheel. What a fun name for a blog. Her blog is a lot of fun to read and right now she has some great photos from a retreat she attended. Take a look at this heart tin that was part of the giveaway. It is full of stuff. The little one had some yummy chocolate.
Can you believe all these fabulous things that were stuffed into that heart tin. If you go to this post you can see each thing in detail. Even though I had seen everything on Rae Ann's post it still was fun going through that tin to see everything is person. Wow, Rae Ann a very nice and generous giveaway. Thank you so very, very much.
There were lots more of those foiled wrapped chocolate hearts but I ate a few and gave some to my daughter. I will share with my husband too. Those hearts wouldn't have gotten eaten so fast but I was waiting for my batteries of my camera to charge. I have not had that happen before. So while I was waiting on them I replied to all the comments from my birthday. I really like to reply to all the comments before I put another post up so I don't get behind answering them from the last post. So I guess that was a good thing I had to wait on the batteries.I did get to my applique bee so the next post I will have some show and tell.
Thanks again for all the birthday wishes. You really made it special.
Blessings to you all.
With Passion,
Carrie P.

Happy Birthday Carrie, just popping by to say thank you for visiting my new blog. I have been overwhelmed by the kindness of blogdom. I have been visiting all of my commenters and am thrilled to see all of your wonderfully creative blogs. It feels like I've spent the whole week on the computer and do I ever need to hit the sewing room. My mind is boggled by the amount of amazing talent that is out there. Your bird feeders are busy! Mine too, it's been snowing here for days now. Hope your having a creative day.
