A Bouquet of Talent Linky Party #62 |Life on Lakeshore Drive

Hi, friends! Thank you so much for stopping by to share with us this week. I am always thrilled to have you join the party!
I have spent every night this entire week trying to get my computer back up and running, and by some miracle I did it! I have no idea how, but I am just thankful to be able to type on my own keyboard instead of my hubby's. The keys on his keyboard are larger than mine, and I typed a wrong key every time I used it! He just couldn't understand why I had a problem using his. I told him it's like that favorite pair of jeans or sweats that you like to put on when you get home from work! LOL
I got my computer running again just in time, too. Shhh, don't tell anybody, but I have the BIG 50 birthday coming up this week!! Yikes, where has the time gone? I am not thrilled about turning 50, but I am super excited about my birthday gift from my husband and children. My sweet hubby knew how bad I have wanted a Silhouette Cameo, and it arrived on my front porch yesterday! He wanted it to be a surprise. He came home from work last week and asked me if I knew just how many different packages of Cameos you can buy? I was impressed, because he had really done his research. He even learned about the Cricket. He didn't know which one to order, so I did get to order the one I wanted. YAY!

Unknown said...: Congrats on your upcoming birthday! I am curious, why did you choose the Cameo over the Cricuit? I have been looking at them both and having a hard time deciding one way or the other and would love one for Christmas!; November 16, 2013 at 11:45 PM

Cecilia said...: Happy birthday, Kathy! 50 isn't so bad once you turn 52... Haha! I've been wondering which of those machines was better-looking forward to hearing how you like yours.

I love the burlap sign...I want to make one of my favorite Christmas lyrics ( hmmm, which one?) thank you for hosting. It's always fun to view everyone's projects!
