Husband says we can celebrate it in Belgium and will decide which of your suggestions he likes best by July 10 (I know it all sounds rather patriarchal, but otherwise the day will go utterly uncelebrated!). I am just saving up for my next big birthday, for which I shall demand a big celebratory trip to the Big Apple over the 2nd weekend of August.Jo H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13489890415848995136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-8894356108962083742013-06-28T13:35:06.540-04:002013-06-28T13:35:06.540-04:00Sweet!

I recently bought something from them, and to get it I had to paypal money to a friend so she could buy it on my behalf, have it shipped to her, then ship it to me. Its a whole lotta trouble.<br /><br />But on the positive, I just love the colour choices for Michael - he looks so happy in all those photos! I look forward to seeing what you make for him :)Beccie Leathley (Sew Retro Rose)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02088942931608827770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-12158474280849664142013-06-27T22:38:55.483-04:002013-06-27T22:38:55.483-04:00"a day of decluttering"....that *is* a g..."a day of decluttering"....that *is* a good way to celebrate for those who can't be there in person.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06074339341919661384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-78537561522958682452013-06-27T21:26:44.326-04:002013-06-27T21:26:44.326-04:00Hurray, MPB day is coming!
