Happy Birthday...you have a wonderful mom!

jeanneb52 06-09-2011 12:31 PM

Give me your mom's number...maybe she'll tell ME! I will swear I don't know you and wouldn't dream of telling you anything. Of course, I lie.

[quote=fryguymoore]Below is the email I just got. Mom is in California and my birthday is June 29th. What else might she send other than a sewing machine from this store???? I think I have no choice now but to plan my next quilt, right? You don't know how tempted I am to call the store since Mom won't fess up.
I'd say its either a sewing machine or a boat anchor, lol.

This has just made the gift more fun. I am LOL. Happy almost birthday!

rainbowzebra 06-09-2011 03:29 PM

Happy Birthday early! Only 4 more days to wait for your surprise.

madamekelly 06-09-2011 03:30 PM

I haven't ever heard of a sewing machine that weighs 57lbs! A quilting frame maybe? A vacuum cleaner? I guess you could say I am out of ideas.

Dee G 06-09-2011 03:44 PM

My DH got curious & weighted my Janome 11000 at 38 1/2 lbs. So hoops, box, attachments, packing - could be! If a vacuum weights that much - send it back :-)

labtechkty 06-09-2011 03:54 PM

LOL... I did the same thing for my sister's Xmas present...she had no idea what I was sending her...that is intil she received a post card in the mail telling her that her shipment was on time etc.....SURPRISE!!!

Sounds like something I had delivered to me... But it would be wrong of me to tell you what it was before your big day!

Anticipation is half the fun.

cbridges22 06-09-2011 04:22 PM

We have the birthday!

dashton4 06-09-2011 04:26 PM

Fun! I love a surprise :-)

Pat G 06-09-2011 04:28 PM

Now don't you dare call the store & spoil your mom's surprise. It's just fun to anticipate............... then be surprised.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Mine is the 15th, dtr's is 19th, & g-dtr's is the 23rd. No wonder the 3 of us have such a connection.

nancia 06-09-2011 04:45 PM

happy birthday, dawn & dawn!

IBQUILTIN 06-09-2011 04:51 PM

Taffkat 06-09-2011 05:52 PM

LUCKY YOU! 57 pounds??!!! WOW! Have wheels ready!

rainbowzebra 06-09-2011 05:52 PM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all the June bugs out there. October brings the first cool night after summer - no wonder there are so many birthdays in June, our family has lots too.
Pat G. is right don't spoil the surprise, but be sure to let the rest of us know what it is. I think we are as excited as you. Pat L.

Cute - love it!!! :lol:

Happy Birthday early...and I KNOW it's sooooo much fun getting packages that you don't know what is inside, no matter when it is. Enjoy your new gift (whatever it is!) and double enjoy it from your mom - those are the most precious ever.

IF you get a new giant Bernina, I want your address so that I can come and "borrow" it permanently!!

Windsong 06-10-2011 12:18 PM

I can't tell you how disappointed I would be with a vacuum!!!!! We just replaced our carpet with hardwood :)


LoriEl 06-10-2011 01:08 PM

I keep hoping you got it early but I guess we'll have to wait!
