Happy new birthday

Yup, today is my new birthday. New you ask? You can read all the details in last year's post. I assume without facebook alerts to remind people that most people will forget. I had a good birthday last year for the first time in years & my family is already on board to switch it back. Not so fast I say! {In reality they didn't actually ask for my opinion... strange.}

Anyway, today is still when I've chosen to celebrate my birthday.

Yesterday I was reminded that I have the best friend a girl could ever dream of having. She's 3,000 miles away & doesn't forget my new birthday, sends an amazing card, and a book to help me cultivate my style. Now that's true friendship. Pannepacker, I love you.

Lounging around the house with my quilts.

Yes, Amazon suggested I buy my own book this week.
