My birthday is this Saturday! And I got these lovely boxes in the mail with all of this stuff packed into these two small boxes. Wow Cathy sure knows how to pack a box.
I bet she even knows how to gift wrap too. ( I am terrible at both.)

How nice of Cathy. What a sweetheart!

I hope you have a wonderful birthday Henry.

Ruth- isn't that pepsi fabric a scream? Every time I look at it, I laugh. If only by drinking the stuff by the gallon would give you a body for the beach......

Again Cathy M proves she is a wonderful friend. Happy Birthday Henry.

Happy early birthday Henry.
Enjoy your new stash!

Thanks Amma and yes I am going to be busy for a while and I do not have to go shopping for fabric anytime soon.

I plan to Terri :)

Looking at that stash of loot, I would suspect Henry has very incriminating photos of Cathy M.

Congrats on your b-day Henry, you're getting to be an old fart like me.

First, Happy Birthday a few days early!

Second, she knows how to pack as in getting all that stuff in, and she knows how to pack as in what to put in there!

I don't know how long it will keep you busy, Henry! At the rate you go! :mrgreen:

Henry - I know just how you are feeling. itsn't Cathy the most amazingly generous person you have had the pleasure of meeting??

Enjoy your birthday, and hope to see soon just what you can make out of all that stash :D :D :D

Wow Henry...Happy Birthday!!! Looks like you have all you need to keep busy and happy on your big day, Cathy is sure a sweetheart...lucky you!! :shock:

Oooh Henry. I really like the one fabric. The white background with green leaves and pink flowers. My aunt gave me some squares of it. I want to look for the fabric so I can get more blocks. That was very nice of Cathy M for your birthday.

I feel old today. One of my 5th graders said to me today, you are old enough to be my dad, my sister's dad and my brother's dad. They are 11, 9, and 7. I was like oh gee i am aren't i? LOL

Celeste,
I am sure it will keep me busy for a while. :) The stack of big 10" squares has at least 30 or more squares.

She is! I sent her a small bit of something today.

Thanks Sandpat and Loretta. And Loretta tell your mom happy birthday from me :)

How can we enjoy these pleasures. How did you get these from cathy m. and her partner in crime.

Do they run a fabric store?

You just wait Tim.... we are waiting for you to announce you're going on vacation.... pretty sure the mailman will not love you anymore :):):):)

He is not my type anyway.

Glad you made Henry Happy.
