Birthday Eve

Saturday's a work day for me, but this morning I was able to sleep a little later because one of my poor kiddos has chicken pox. Here's me driving to work:


It was overcast today, which made for a nice drive:


By the front door when I arrived home today...happy birthday to me:


and inside the box was this adorable bag from Jessie, made by Andrea:


I hadn't changed my office calendar until this afternoon:


My messy desk, full of in progress paperwork, billing info and some to do in Photoshop projects:


Scrapping a bit this evening and doing my new favorite thing, sewing on pages:


Strawberry milkshake to celebrate my birthday eve:


Another night with a gorgeous sunset...my photo doesn't quite capture the bold yellows and oranges:
