Bye-Bye-B-Day

Just ask my kids, I am not one to make a BIG DEAL out of birthdays, much less my own, BUT I'm making an exception for myself this year because I'm 50 and I got such an interesting array of gifts.

There is, of course, the loom--Kelly said I could get it so he wouldn't have to shop--that worked out well for both of us. Since I've been weaving, or trying anyway, Kelly has gotten full control of the remote.

Then, there was THE card from gal-pal, Beth (sorry about the photo fuzziness):






Followed by THE plaque, also from Beth:
Honestly, they are funny but I just can't figure out why she gave them to me. HA!











There was THIS t-shirt from daugther Meredith:













Son Alex came to visit--No Photo
This pitcher and honey dispense is from my parents:


The Sock Monkey from my brother --as the label says: For ALL Ages.







The last photo is the stuff I got from my swap buddy in the Ravelry "Sew Obsessed" group pincushion swap. My buddy is from New Zealand and in addition to two beautiful pin cushions, she sent a bunch of cool stuff representative of New Zealand, including the most tasty strange confections called Pineapple Lumps.

LOVE all your gifts! The card, the plaque (heh), the t-shirt, well, all of them. In fact, I may need to direct my family over here to get some good pointers.
