Welcome to my birthday party! I'm glad you're here. This cake needs another 46 candles, but close enough. I found this photo on the Internet (that's how you get cake in Cyberspace) and I liked the candles. I never saw candles like that before. The cake looks a little scary, but it doesn't matter since it's virtual. No calories either. Pretend that it's surprisingly delicious! Oh my, what a lovely hat you're wearing.And we have some party favors too. Leave a comment (say hello to each other) and you'll be entered to win a little package of interesting new selvages! There will be 10 winners announced next week. We'll take a virtual field trip to a surprise location that day too.
Tomorrow I'll tell you how you can win a vintage Singer Featherweight!
Aww, happy birthday!! Those candles are kind of cool.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Karen! Maybe I can't do the math, but you sure didn't look it when I met you!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. Your virtual cake looks wonderful. I just wish I lived closer as I'd love to have you come over and enjoy some cake, and/or glass of wine, chat about quilting and have a birthday celebration. But what ever you do, I do hope you have a wonderful birthday.
