Happy Birthday TO ME!!

Today is my very own Happy Birthday!

I am 43 years old today.

I am not lying, fibbing or embellishing the truth in any way.

I have earned every one of those years and I am grateful for them.

So, LET'S CELEBRATE!!!

Oh, this photo is from last year, when I was 42!

So, how will I celebrate?

Well, we are going to meet my parents in Truckee at the Panda Express 

for lunch again, just like last year.

And, just like last year, my mom will lend me her 

Janome, because mine broke AGAIN!!

Yes, RIGHT BEFORE THE FAIR!!

 

We will have a yummy lunch together and then

we will scoot back home to get Ahnalin to her swimming lesson.

(Notice her new swimsuit? Yeah, I made it. But my machine broke while I was

in the middle of sewing it. So I had to finish it on Ahnalin's Hello Kitty machine. It was so funny!)

 

 

And then India will watch her little sister

so that Don, the Hot Rockin' Hubby, can take me out on a

DATE!!!! 

Oh, wait, did you notice that India dyed her hair really really red? 

I LOVE IT! 

OH, back to the DATE!

Yeah, he is taking me to hear TOBY KEITH!!!

and TRACE ADKINS!!!

I am just a whole lot excited!!!!

WOOHOOOOO!!!!!

YAHOOOOOOOOO!!!

And then, the fun will continue because

 

starts a new season tonight!!

AND that will be followed by a really neato new show!

I am so excited by this show!!!

Austin Scarlett and Santino Rice

are designers from previous seasons of Project Runway and

they will be traveling across America.

They will stop at small towns along 

the way and design for local people, 

highlighting shops at each of their stops. 

And my little town is one of their stops!!!

I do not know when my town will be featured, 

but as soon as I know,  I will let you all know!

Oh, and ONE MORE REALLY COOL THING!!!

I just got this amazing package in the mail from

Yvonne of Bunte Fabrics!!

I won her giveaway!!

I am over-the-moon excited about these amazing fabrics from Heather Ross's

Far Far Away line!! This is gorgeous double gauze and I have never

felt anything like it. I can't wait to sew on it!

Thank you Yvonne! It came today! 

I LOVE IT!!

Ok, it is 2:00AM on my birthday. 

I had better get my beauty sleep so I don't look

one second older than my 43 years.

Love to you all!
