I had the most beautiful day yesterday! Thank you all so very much for your Birthday greetings and your love, etc. They all added up to the perfect day! I was truly spoiled! I got ever so many lovely cards, etc. Each was very beautiful.
It all began with breakfast at McDonalds! I know . . . but I am a simple girl with simple tastes and that simple girl wanted an egg McMuffin in a soft English muffin. I don't know where they get their English muffins, but I can never get ones that are as soft and fresh as theirs are!!
Tatiana gave me the sweetest little tea set. I just love it! Its very Cath Kidsonish! I can't wait to use it for a teacup Thursday on instagram! It will fit right in. I got flowers from Todd and of course breakfast, and my new journal, 2019 SB Calendar, and teacup . . .
Monique sent me this lovely Bun cloth, beautifully embroidered. I can't wait to use it in my bread basket. I'll take a picture when I do!
I got a bazillion lovely greetings on FB and Instagram, which made me smile. I need to try to respond to each one if I can!
My mom called me and my dad facetimed me, and I got to speak to my sister on Messenger!
We coloured! Tatiana is very busy at work here . . .
This is the beautiful fruits of her labours here. The colours are beautiful and you should see it in ront of a window with the light shining through it. It is like a stained glass window! Just gorgeous. I started an owl, but didn't get too far because my eyes were going all buggy.
I got a Birthday present voucher from Hobby Craft and their promarkers were on sale, marked half price from £20 for a set of 12 to £10, so Todd took us to Hobby Craft and I got some new markers. Tatiana had bought some the other day and I was so impressed with the brilliance of the colours, that I decided to get a set. £20 for only £5. I couldn't lose!
Treated ourselves to a rare treat of this for our tea. I was not impressed. It was cold, well not really cold, but not really hot either. Still tasted good though.
"I came here tonight because when you realize
you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody,
you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."
We finished the day with this. When Harry Met Sally. I love that film. I love that Meg Ryan is so cute in it and Billy Crystal so awkwardly funny throughout, the little clips of the old married couples, the scenes of New York City. ( I so want to be there at Christmas!) I love the happy ending. I just love the whole thing.
It was the perfect day!

DeleteOh my dear friend, I am so happy that you had a sweet birthday celebration. I loved the tea set, the flowers, new journal and bun cloths. What lovely gifts to receive. Of course, going to McDonald’s for breakfast; fun! I do love KFC, too. Sorry that the food was cold; but I am sure still good.
ReplyDeleteI like the coloring and that you got some ne markers. I heard doing this kind of art is very relaxing and theraputic. I have thought about trying it for stress.
A good old movie at the end of a great day is perfect. I have really been in to the old movies lately.
Sending loving thoughts and hugs your way!
Thanks LeAnn! It was probably only cold because we brought it home instead of eating it there. Like you say, it was still very good! Colouring is a great stress buster! Love and hugs, xoxo
DeleteI'd love to be able to continue receiving your blog posts. My email address is melakamoon@aol.com. Thank you! PS, I've been reading your blog for at least 13 years. Where does the time go?
ReplyDeleteIts hard to believe I have been doing it for that long but I guess I have Melaka! xo
