My Birthday.... celebrated my way...

My freinds and I spent the day in
Dallas for my birthday....

shopping.

I know those who know me might think this weird,

 as I am not that big of a shopper..

but we were shopping for fabric,
beads, buttons and charms..

lace and trims off all kinds...

I can shop with this stuff around...
can't you?

and boy was it around...

every single corner ..

take a look and see what we seen....

and ultimately bought...lol.

my first view in the first store

and theres more

on rolls in barrels

but I am looking for laces, and trims and hem tape

and I found just that

plus all this satin and grosgrain ribbon too

and rick racks galore

$.15 to $.89 a yard

laces in every color

wait theres more...

I especially like this one..

oh and these too..

I spent the most right here

oh wait... luchious laces and more

then I wanted a bit of fur

Wow its Pink!!!

my favorite one.

and some bridal type fabrics too

 look at this lovely fabric...

 I so want some for me

now on to the button store

well not really, but they have lots of buttons here

look at this wall

can you say mouth watering

and all sorted so nicely too

I need a bit of this and a bit of that too

this is where Gayle wanted to go

Spist!!! she spent the most here

Sandy found the best spot for sure..

I got my fair share

and spent a little bit here

they even had fabric covered

hounds tooth buttons

I like alot.

then on to the heavy fabrics

I needed this too

my favorite place is

The Clearance Room

By now we needed lunch

we went on over to

Mommas Daughters Dinner

we eat here often when we got to Dallas

I always meet some one special when I go there

this time was just the same, I met

Sharnette L Hyter

Singer/Songwriter/Composer/ Producer

she gave me a gift, not even knowing it was

my birthday...a gift of her book

Spiritual Love Poems

All about God's Love

and one for my freinds too.

she touched my day in her special way

then she sang Happy Birthday to me

She has two more books coming out soon

check out her site

Here

I told her I'd tell you all about her and show you her beautiful spirit

like I seen this day

well back to more shopping...when we seen this

I have never seen so much unknown

stuff inside a car like that..

I had to take a picture

Big City Style?

not sure about it..

Sandy works with beads

so off we go to the nearest bead shop

I was floored at the selection

Sandy knew what she was looking for

look at this selection

and all the beads

WOWSERS!!!

then off to dinner

which of course had singers and dessert

A hug from Gayle...who ordered it all

This day was special , becasue I was with freinds

doing the things I liked to do

I love my life with them

and wanted to thank them

in return for a happy day

on this Special day for me

this was just one

day I celebrated my birthday

it seemed to go all month long

Sandy and I  both had birthdays

so close together

I found all I was looking for

to keep me crafting for the year to come

Thanks You Guys

I love you lots
