Happy Birthday to me!!
And you’ve all gone out of your way to make sure it’s been wonderful, and it’s not even 11am yet.
The family woke me up early, and Em insisted on a birthday portrait.
Sorry, I couldn’t do that to myself, or to any of you!
There were gifts, but there was perhaps not quite enough wrapping paper.
(This is perhaps the sweetest wrapped gift I have ever received.)
Inside was the wall sconce from Dusk that I have been lusting after.
Emily bought the vanilla scented candles herself. It looks lovely with my new furniture.
They bought me beautiful jewellery.
And some yummies from Lush.
I hear that Em told the lady that the temple balm was for my birthday, so the lady gave her all the little samples to give me, too.
David has this weird idea that I have enough yarn, so he didn’t buy me any knitting paraphernalia. So Em went to her stash and wrapped some yarn.
Then she went into hysterics when I opened the cheap novelty yarn, and is probably still giggling at her desk at school right now.
When I went to the post office, there was yarn!
The Misti Alpaca I ordered from The Knitting Zone for the Icarus Shawl, and Carol sent me yummy sock yarn!
Seriously, this may well be the best birthday I have ever had.
Thank you to every one of you who has left a comment, sent an email or ecard, or a gift full of good wishes and thoughts! You guys rock.
99% of the most wonderful people I know I have met via the internet. My mother still believes that the internet is full of weirdos and perverts, but I know better.
This day couldn’t get any better, and it’s all thanks to all of you, and to my wonderful family.
Happy Birthday Donna!! I hope your day continues to be wonderful, and that you’re spoilt even more!!!

All the best to you on your special day. It sounds really good and it makes it a lot easier to get over it, that one is a year older now – again. Hope the rest of your day is as wonderful as the beginning! Happy Birthday!
As usual I’m behind, and late, and sorry … but still, I hope your birthday was lovely (and it looks like it was) and I wish you many, many more wonderful ones to come!
