My friend Lisa was over yesterday ... look what she bought me for my birthday ... Wizard of Oz salt and pepper shakers! I love them and nope I didn't have a set either! lol
Look what arrived from England for me from my dear friend Sally. I just love the sentiment and as always Sally's stitching and finishing is perfect! The lace at the top is a great touch. Thank you so much Sally for stitching this needleroll for me for my birthday ...
Yesterday Lisa and I got together for my birthday. We started the day with lattes and scones and the movie Leap Year. Very cute and enjoyable movie. After the movie we went to lunch at The Claim Jumper ... we both had their Cashew Chicken Salad sandwich. We both enjoyed a margarita with lunch, of course mine was a pomegranate margarita ... I think I'm quite addicted to pomegranate right now *smile* After lunch it was off to another movie, this time it was Up In The Air. The movie wasn't exactly what we expected. It was good but more of a rental movie, in my humble opinion. After the movie we went to do a little shopping ... I love shopping but I hate shopping for pants/jeans ... it was no fun! lol And yes, after shopping it was time for another movie! This time it was The Lovely Bones. Neither of us had read the book, but we did know what it was about. I really liked the movie ... I think it captured the innocence of the 70's and I really enjoyed the story being told by the young girl, both before her death and after. It was a great day! And a tradition that I hope continues.
Of course after playing all day I knew Sunday would be cleaning and laundry day ... owell it was definately worth it! Gotta go ... I hear my dryer calling my name :)
I hope you find your Joy in your stitches ...
I'm grateful for playdates with my best friend ...

It sounds like you had a fantastic day. I will enjoy watching your progress on the Oz piece as it is on my "someday" list of things I would like to stitch. Love the S&P set too!
Glad you had a great day. You have seen more movies in one day than I saw all of last year at a movie theater!!!
Love your new start too.
Wow you got a lot of good movie time in! I can't even tell you when was the last time I sat in a movie theater! I love your Wizard of Oz progress. So cute!
And as for the Claim Jumper...just reading that made me drool!
I am a huge Wizard of Oz fan and have never seen this pattern before that I can remember. I think I need to find it. Can you tell me who the designer is?

Love your Wizard of Oz Sampler...it is going to be a sweet finish! And I don't think I've seen one finished in bloggy land yet!
Sounds like a fabulous way to spend the day! Beautiful gifts you received and I love your new start.
Sounds like you really know how to celebrate a birthday!! My daughter would be soooo jealous.
I didn't remember you were a OZ fan. I have a SIL who is over the top on that. Who is the designer of the sampler, if I might ask?? I know I could not do it like you are, but it probably could be enlargened(sp) for my blind eyes.
wow, 3 movies in 1 day. How much fun you had. I want to see Leap year and The Lovely Bones. I read the book and enjoyed it.
What a fun day!
Love your Wizard of Oz start ~ I have that and now I want to start it too (along with too many other things) :)
