Yes! I am ............

 Thank you to everyone for their birthday messages. Still can't believe I am fifty. I certainly don't feel it! LOL!
Last night we went out for dinner with about forty family and friends which was really nice. As you can see, I am officially the shortest in our family (and I've got heels on)!
How beautiful are these flowers! The roses are from Noel and the boys gave me the other beautiful bunch.
I was also spoilt by my lovely friends of the 
Birthday Fat Quarter Club.
From O'faigh of Oldbury Cottage.
From Maria of Life on the Block.
From Pat from Club Quilt Narromine.
From Shez of Enjoying Life.
From Simone of Quilting Is My Downtime.
From Tracee of Quilt Kitty Loves Life.
From Sisbabe of Sisbabestitching.
From Chez of Gone Stitchin'.
From Anthea of Hibiscus Stitches.
All the beautiful fat quarters! Can you see a theme here? The start of my Bonnie and Camille collection!
Thank you girls. You have all spoilt me.
Mitchell is off to his Year 11 formal tonight. Here he is ready to head off to a friend's place where they will be having a stretch limo take them to the reception place.
This birthday is an ongoing celebration! Tomorrow I'm off with Mel to Crafty Hijinks at Ballarat. Should be a fun day. Will tell you all about it next week.
