what's new

Last year at this time I was just finishing up the best birthday weekend ever! I spent a few days in Chicago for CHA Summer and really had the time of my life. This year was not so exciting. Quite boring if I do say so myself, but I smile and go on.

Something that did make me really happy, was seeing David Cook singing at the Home Run Derby just a few days before my birthday and he sounded great:

I was even lucky enough to have a couple of yummy birthday cakes which made me happy. This was one from my co-workers:

and this one Steve's mother made. She even put a rose on it from her garden. Very sweet.

The best part of my day was all the B-day wishes on Facebook, the Studio Calico message board and calls from my two best friends. Speaking of Studio Calico, my sweet friends of the BASB sent me a generous gift certificate to their site. I am so psyched about that. Love the gals over there and that is where the BASB girls came together. So thankful for that!

I have done just a bit of scrapping lately. Did this LO for my online jenni bowlin class:

And this one is for the latest basb challenge:

Tomorrow Bryant leaves to spend a few days with my parents and nephew. Oh did I mention my favorite (shh!) nephew is here for the week? Love hanging with Zach! I can not wait to see him!

All for now. Maybe I will get a bit of reading in and go to bed early. Back to the grind tomorrow. Have a great week!!
