Birthday's Rock ~

Well, another year gone, another year older and hopefully, another year wiser. I really don't mind having birthdays, like some people do. I decided a long time ago that I would grow old gracefully and never give in to the temtations of botox, or liposuction. The way I look at it, I would much rather have $5,000 worth of awesome beads than 6 years worth of fat sucked out of my butt. Besides, I'm always sitting on it, so nobody can see it anyway.

I had to post this picture today. It's one of my favs. I love the little piggies. Especially the one carrying all the balloons. There is a quote about birthday's that I always write in cards to people that are somewhat discontented about another birthday. I'll never forget and I always think about it when I sometimes feel a pity party coming on: "Never regret growning old, it's a privilege denied many". When I think about that way, I know I'm lucky. I still have my health & my happiness. I have a wonderful family, an awesome Husband, a terrific Son and 2 of the best dogs in the whole entire world.

And so, now I can share what Wayne, Ozzy & Lita gave me for my Birthday, besides lots of hugs and kisses and some really sweet cards:

I've been wanting a small camera that I can carry around with me all the time. I hate having to bring my Kodak to places like restaurants, or weddings, etc. You know, places where something could get spilt on it, or knocked off the table. Plus, I can't even count the times that I have been somewhere and thought, "gee, I wish I had my camera". Anyway, this is a great little camera and takes awesome pictures, as indicated below and I bet you can tell how many Margaritas I had:

Oh and today is Ozzy's birthday! He is 4 years old. We will be having Ice Cream tonight ~ his favorite ~ Bluebell Homemade Vanilla. I just buy the little cups and he thinks he's in heaven. Of course, we all enjoy the special treat. I'll take pictures later and share them tomorrow.

Anway, I also wanted to share this awesome little bag that I bought from SuperbKitsch. I had bought a turtle one a while back to use for my external flash for my camera. My new little camera fits perfect in there, so I bought this one today for it:

Isn't it sweet. I can't wait to get it. Plus, I thought I would share what I made today. It's for sale in the shop, if you want to see more pictures:

Isn't it awesome! I named it, and most appropriately I must say, "Flora ~ Fauna"

And now I must go get dinner started, so we can eat early and enjoy Ozzy's Birthday treat. I hope you all have a wonderful evening & a most enjoyable Friday. xxoo ~ Kathy
