~*~ Happy Birthday to meeeeeeeeeeeee! ~*~

Ok so today, Dec 17th is my birthday. My grandson (who just turned 2 on the 13th) learned to sing the happy birthday song and he says "Happy birthday to meeeeeeee" and raises both hands in the air! lol! So I figured I would steal the line from him...(can ya see me raising my arms? lol!)

Anywho, earlier this week I recd some advance money bday gifts and went (what else?) SHOPPING!!! :) So I thought I'd show you some of what I have gotten so far. I still have presents to open later today....I am so excited! This has really helped to pick up my spirits, but then again shopping usually does.

On other news I got hired to work at the Scrapbook Expo in Costa Meza, CA and CHA in Anaheim, CA in January and I am very excited and happy about that. I will be working for Scrapbooks N Stickers http://www.scrapbooksnstickers.com/ and I get to see some friends I don't get to see enough!

Well here is the video of my bday goodies....I'll be back soon! Thanks for looking!
