Birthday wishes DO come true!!!!

I am always a bit shy about my birthday....but I sure wasn't quiet about my birthday wish this year!

It was ALL about IKEA.....so this past Saturday, Jim and I, and our neighbors too, all made the trek to where my birthday present was hiding in the warehouse.

The boys lifted the heavy boxes which would make my birthday wish come true.

My wish was that my sewing stash would stop looking like this ( all pulled out of the closet for THE transformation).....

To be placed orderly into my Expedit.....twenty four cubicles to hold all the fabric that I stash !!!!

Now it looks like this.....sorted by color and theme.....

....with bins opn top that hold my precuts just waiting for that moment of inspiration!!!!

But that wasn' t the only surprise. My students gifted me with the most wonderful "surprise" party.

The surprise happens each year (G) , but it still fills my heart to overflowing with gratitude for these wonderful ladies that come each Wednesday night.

Each week they inspire me with their projects and now even my Mom has joined our group. She wouldn't miss it for anything!!!!

I even have a furry student who knows to come for me for treats and goes to all the students for hugs.

I wish I had gotten a group shop...but THANK YOU girls from the bottom of my heart!!!!

You made my birthday SEW special, and SEW much fun!!!!
