Well the big 50 is finally here ...

and I'm going to bore you with more pictures of me...lol...
Here I am on my 1st birthday.


I think I'm 5 in this picture or maybe 6.


Would you look at the hair when I was 7?!?! Too funny!


Okay...that's it, enough of me, but look at this...remember I told you God was going to cool down the weather...here are the clouds rolling in on Monday.

Isn't it wonderful?! Our temps have cooled by 10 to 15 degrees and we've had some pretty major rain in the last couple of days...I LOVE it!

Thank you so much for all of the sweet and kind birthday wishes for me and my sister. To clear up any confusion...I was born August 18, 1960 and my sister Pamela was born August 16, 1962...so you see we've always shared our birthday's and just partied for several days or the entire month, if I can get away with it :o)
Also if you haven't received a reply from me it could be because you are set "no reply" or because I got a new phone for my birthday and I can do my email on it, but I think I've messed up and lost a few emails.

Since everyone has been so patient and kind about birthday stuff, I'm having a giveaway for this quilt/wall hanging kit. The pattern and all of the fabrics for the top and binding (I think) are included. It's the same pattern as the wall hanging I made for Pam, only bigger and it's all Fig Tree fabric.

Just leave a comment on this post and I'll draw a winner on Sunday! Oh international is fine.

Have a Blessed day!
