Then if you are signed up for your birthday with Simon Says Stamp they have a birthday gift for
you as well, you do have to place an order to get the 'free' gift but that is not a hardship.
Here is this years gift:
Pretty nice gift I'd say!!
Then Art Impressions sent me a $10 gift code to use
and The Greetery added 250 free points to my rewards.
Nice gestures from all!!
And to add to the fun I won a $50 gift card from Whimsy
Stamps, a $25 gift card to Stamp Simply and a $20 gift
card to Taylored Expressions, so had a lot of shopping to
do on my birthday as well, how FUN!!
I spent my day working outside in my gardens trying to get ready for
winter, then we went to granddaughter's college volleyball game (they won)
we left there and went to the casino to eat and play a bit
I cashed out $100, $70, $50 and $245 tickets.
I'd say I did pretty good, but I paid back hubby what he lost,
we always do that, if one loses and one wins we always
pay the losses back, if we both lose, now that is a different story LOL!!
Saturday night my daughter and SIL took us to a restaurant of my choice
for my birthday and I chose a Italian restaurant I love at the 100 Center in
Mishawaka, Indiana
They play Frank Sinatra music and my hubby loves it
so it was a good choice for both of us!!
Our after dinner picture:
Left to right, my brother, (we laughed as he had stepped out of line
and the picture makes him look like he is inflated lol!!)
Then my hubby, me, my oldest son Scott and DIL Heather,
SIL Carey and daughter Lori!! Lori works for Notre Dame so she had on a very glitzy ND sweatshirt,
it lit up the whole room when the sun hit it!!
That was my day, another year around the sun as they say!!
