As every other birthday this one was no different except for a few things. I spent the morning working on an applique project and planning what things I would work on after I finish this particular project. My husband bought me a new camera as a gift so between Monday and today I have been taking photos and video recording different things and learning how to use this new gadget.</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">My best quilting buddy and best bud in general Leanne of Lizzie's Page blog which can be found in the right hand side column here, surprised me with a couple of gifts which was really kind of her to do.
