on another note, there are some great packages being sent. lawsonmugs aka mary (from missouri) those are some awesome pincushions; treasures to have. i love them.
to my june sp, your package will be mailed tomorrow on my way to the airport. i hope you enjoy everything. i couldnt take a pic because i have lost my camera. so if you post one i will get to enjoy everything all over again and if you don't just hearing that you did enjoy all will be enough for me.

my best friend's daughter and husband's birthday are both on dec. 26th. they have celebrated their daughter's birthday for all of her 18 years. i guess it's a family decision and sometimes it is probably based on family economics.
i have a brother whose birthday is Nov 25th which sometimes falls on thanksgiving. the family always made a point to have cake & ice cream for his birthday. he's 40+ with 3 three kids & a wife now and she still takes care to celebrate his birthday when it falls on the holiday.
i am sure as a child it seems so unfair and it's hard to understand. but once you are an adult, i am a big believer that you should start your own traditions.
one of my nephews is so stymied by the fact that his birthday wasnt a big to do while he was growing up but his mother had a large family and i am sure it was because of finances. he gets so upset when you talk to him about his birthday so i asked him what has he done to celebrate his birthday since he left home and didnt he know that he can do whatever he wants now. he is puzzled by that thought. so this year for his birthday (jul 12) i am taking him zip lining over the meramec caverns as a surprise. hopefully this will be the beginning of a tradition for him.
I am Dec 26.... growing up it was no fun.

I have a SIL who's birthday is Dec. 26th and she never had a birthday party until she married my brother and she now has a party with cake on every birthday. My youngest grandson's birthday is the 29th of Dec. And it is celebrated the same way all my grandchildren treat their birthdays. It's a big deal in our family.

Mary sent 2 handmade pincushions. One was a dress makers form with a tiny tape measure draped over the neck, pins and a floral corsage..at the bottom "life's a stitch" was written. The other one was a sewing machine with great detail..it has a tiny tomato pincushion with tiny pins in it, a spool of thread, a thimble and a threaded needle..with a tiny tape measure and scissors. It is so adorable.
My mother enjoyed the package as much as I did.
She also included a crockpot hot pad. Which is perching at this moment on my crockpot of soup. She also made a pretty manicure pouch with tools inside. It is made with a purple/pink batik fabric. She also sent some pretty fall fabric. I have tons of fabric, but no fall fabrics. There is a package of fall leaf buttons. I have ideas circling in my head for a project using them.
Yesterday I was going through my bobbin box and the thread was tangled and everywhere...not any more. She include a package of ponytail elastics to hold the thread in place
She sent a cute notebook with gerbera daisies on it..that is hiding in a side pocket of my purse...granddaughter Chloe is always rooting through my purse. Hopefully she won't find it!
To top the package off she sent my favorite York peppermint patties..and a nice homemade card. I love homemade things...
Thank you so much Mary..I love all of the items in the package. You certainly made it special.
I can't wait for hubby to get home to show him. Then I can spring it on him that I need that shelf put up. The shelf is very old, it came out of my bedroom at my childhood home. I think I need to do a little eye batting. LOL.
Peace and Blessings, and tons of hugs
Thank you so much!

My son's birthday is Dec. 23..we came home on Christmas day. There is so much going on at Christmas..we always make sure he has his special day..on the 23rd. He is 31 now and looks forward to his favorite ice cream cake and always a nice gift. I have never combined his birthday with Christmas either.

I have twin daughters that were born on December 20. I came home on Christmas Eve but they had to stay a few weeks because they were a little early. We always tried to have a party for them on their birthday or a little before. I have to say that I did cheat a little on presents. Sometimes I would grab a Christmas present and wrap it in birthday paper.

My birthday is Feb. 20. I share my birthday with my father-in-law. Needless to say if my DH EVER forgets my birthday he's really going to be in trouble!! LOL
I feel bad for my SIL. Her birthday, her daughter's birthday, her newborn sons birthday, and mother's day are all within two weeks of each other. Balancing all those days and making everyone feel special would be very difficult.

Talking about Birthdays,
I married my husband on my birthday June 1 ,

I also had our son on My birthday And now his girlfriend has the same birthday . June is full of celebrations
