Still Celebrating the 5-0.

 I must say that I have had a wonderful TEN

days of celebrating the BIG one!!!  Tonight my

sweet girls from my card group took me out

to dinner to light one more candle to the 5-0.

I have had a wonderful time celebrating and

am so very grateful that I have such wonderful

family and friends to celebrate with.

This has been a different year celebrating

for sure and as I was apprehensive about it

for months, I must say that the Lord put those

around me who helped me to have a wonderful

time ushering in FIFTY!!!

A girl's gotta have a favorite card . . . right!?!

Big 5-0. Day 3.

 Yep, my amazing BIRTHDAY 

CELEBRATION continued today as

I celebrated with my awesomely 

amazing FAMILY!!!

 Turning the BIG 5-0 is pretty darn fun

when I am able to spend quality family

time with my parents, Jeff and his crew,

and our be-a-uuuuuuuutiful boys!!!!

(My boys wrote some pretty.darn.sweet

messages in my birthday card from them!!)

 Love, love, love these guys!!!

 My be-a-uuuuutiful Momma . . . How did I

get so blessed?!?

 Love, love, love my bro . . . so thankful that

we can be so close now and that we live

only a hop, skip, and a jump away from

him.

It really just doesn't get any.better.than.this!!!

Early Birthday Blessing.

Where, oh, where would I be without my

bestie Susan . . . Where I ask ya?!?

Next week will mark the BIG 5-0 for me . . .

My sweet friend and I have been talking about

making the Farmer's Wife quilt.  It is a

BEAUTIFUL quilt that has 120 . . . count 'em

120 quilt blocks . . . ALL DIFFERENT.  Each

of the block represents letters for 1920s 

farm wives and the blocks that they inspired.

I am more than stoked and excited . . . I am 

still so thrilled that my Susan took the time

to not only purchase the book to complete

this huge task, but purchased the fabric for

our first block . . . Yep, she is a keeper.

Beautiful Farmer's Wife fabric . . . 

A BIG 5-0 package would not be complete

without these babies . . . Remember, my

tootsies tend to get pretty.darn.cold these

days . . . 

Happy EARLY birthday to me!!
