I'd say celebrating my birthday with Creekside Quilting customers and staff was tons of fun!  Julia and I gave away a lot of prizes for those who participated in our Facebook trivia game!  I hope everyone that participated had fun and those who won, like their prizes!  I also was able to celebrate my birthday with family, including my son who lives in CA and his girlfriend...
  Justin and Amisha.  I also was blessed to celebrate my birthday trick or treating with this little prince charming....

  I had a very fun birthday!  And thanks to everyone who stopped in the store or emailed me birthday wishes!
