I don't feel "50" anything really so I guess that is a good thing! They are just numbers anyway.
I received a wonderful birthday surprise in the mail on Saturday from my dear friend Lisa P!! Lisa stitched for me Oct 31 by Glory Bee and made it into a wonderful pin keep!! Lisa also personalized the back and attached a butterfly pin!!! I just LOVe it!!! She included an easel also to display it on. Too cute!!
A couple of weeks ago Lisa and I were talking about the beautiful colors the leaves turn on the trees in autumn. I told her I missed that about living up north and then sent her a picture of what my autumn looks like here in Florida. The picture was of 2 palm trees with their dark green fronds LOL There is a tree here that does turn pretty colors in the Fall (i have no idea what kind of tree it is) but there aren't any on my block so I don't see them much. Imagine my surprise when I opened the birthday card from Lisa and inside she tucked 2 maple leaves in the prettiest colors! Now I have my own REAL piece of Autumn!
Thank you so very much my friend for remembering me on my birthday and for all of the wonderful treasure you sent me :)
I will be spending the rest of the day eating candy & stitching :) Then tonight eating more candy and birthday cake which DH is making for me. I've been listening to Halloween Music all day. Some of it is pretty funny! I heard this one for the first time yesterday and I thought I would share the lyrics to it here. It is sung to the tune of The 12 days of Christmas and is called "The 13 Days of Halloween" I am not sure who wrote it or sang it.
On the first day of Hallow's Eve
my henchman sent to me
An Owl in a dead tree.
On the second day of Hallow's Eve
my henchman sent to me
Two goblin gloves,
And An Owl in a dead tree.
Three fat bats,
Four Howling wolves,
Five draaaaa-gon wings,
Six sorcerers spelling.
Seven ghouls a-scaring,
Eight maids a-screaming,
Nine Vampires biting,
Ten Trolls a-leaping,
Eleven witches bewitching,
Twelve monsters marching,
Thirteen Jack-o-lanterns

Hi, new follower here. I came over from the Inspired Stitcher's blog to wish you a Happy Birthday.
I love your Hallowe'en poem, I've not heard it before but my son will love it too - he's a typical 9 year old!

Hi, I'm a new follower and thought I'd say hello! My birthday is today (11/1/11) and I turned 50. Eek! Like you, I don't feel it most of the time.
Happy Belated Birthday!!!
Hi Lisa,
Thankyou so much for the lovely scissor fob you sent me for halloween, I love it! The trim on the edge looks lovely and the little wood hanger is very cute, I shall hang it on display in my craft room!
I could not email you personally because I could not read your email address on the card.
Happy birthday for the other day!
Hugs
Lynn
