They look lovely;so happy for you.Aren't these cuties wonderful?!!!Nothing like surprise gifts....

I'm so happy that you had such wonderful surprises on your birthday!

I am going to try to post as many of the gift that I can - in no special order - each was chosen by one of the Secret Sister's for me and because of that - I will treasure them forever.

1. I had a special gift sent to me to purchase anything I wanted or needed - so I bought these five tee-shirts - thank you Betty from Louisiana.

2. This is a special handmade card that came from a SS in England.

3. This is a group of wonderful supplies from Beth in Florida - she always knows how much I enjoy working with special fabrics and making ITH designs so she supplied me with enough for a very long while.

4. This is a birhtday banner and card that came to me from Belguim.

5. A lovely mylar butterfly scrap bag and pin cushion.

I received a wide variety of special gifts from Canada that I will put in several picture - so you can see the beauty of each one easier 6-13:
6. 2 Micro fiber kitchen embroidered towels
7. This is a lovely bag that has so many special details on it - that I can not do it justice in a picture - it has special threads and beads and sparkles all over it to enhance the material and make this the prettiest bag I have ever owned.
8. This is the inside of the purse with loads of goodies.
9. The puse insides - so you can see what some of the fabric on the outside had looked like and also how roomy it is with a pocket sewn in, too.
10. All the pretty sparkle thread that were inside of the bag.
11. This is a lovely applique and beaded sweatshirt
12. This is the top of the applique and beaded sweatshirt closeup
13. This is the bottom of the applique beaded sweatshirt.
14. This is the handmade card tucked inside of the next gift.
15. 3 adorable bears on the front of a lovely scrap bag and pin cushion - I have 2 machines so I am thankful - I have two of these now.
16. Miss Claude from France sent me these 2 lovely angels and card.
17. Miss Claude from France also sent me these 2 lovely embroidery towels and 2 sets of sweets - yummy.
18. Deb send me this lovely card and 2 angels
19. Deb also made me this gorgeous beaded necklace and bracelet set.
20. Earlier Deb had also sent me these 2 lovely beaded bracelets she made.
21. I received this darling cow with hearts on a plaid towel around Valentine's Day
22. This Heart Table Runner and pretty card came from Canada
23. This lovely Rose Talbe Runner came from Carol
24. Yvonne sent this set of wonderful gift that she picked out for me. A lovely handmade card with little shells - a shell key holder - 4 lovely threads in a wonderful re-usable container - and a lovely tea towel with a tea set embroidered on it.

I also received a couple messages from several members of the CUTE family - from the UK that they had collected some funds to send to me shortly and also from Iceland a gift via PayPal.com I received numerious virtual cards via my email account and messages posted on my facebook account - you honor me with your special friendship.

All I can say - this is the most presents that I have every received in my entire life - making this the best 'HAUL' I have ever made and what a special birthday surprise for sure - you warm my heart with your generosity and thoughtfulness. You have made me extra special and there really wasn't a need to do that - as each day I feel blessed to be part of the CUTE family and I have leaking eyes and can't say more at this time - I hope you all enjoy the sweetness of these gifts and know - that I can't express to you - how wonderful you mean to me - but you do. Unconditional Love, Shirlene

I'm so happy you had such a great B-Day. Couldn't happen to a nicer person. I do hope it cheers you up and makes life's burdens a bit easier. I'll try to connect with you, when I'm heading that way, or when you come for GFs embroidery, and we can do lunch.

I'm so glad your birthday was such a great success. Somehow, I missed out on the posting. I had been sick and wasnt checking every day for awhile.I didn't even get to post a birthday wish yesterday. So here is a belated birthday wish for you.

What a nice birthday you had

Shirlene, I think we are all so happy that we all could make YOU so happy. For sure I know we all were very nervous 'cos your birthday came closer and there was no -even not a single- post of you mentioning that your received a gift. Some of use where wondering if the parcels arrived or not. But I guess they all did. And what a lovely set of gifts. Made with so much love. I can understand well that you had a big smile whole day long. Even myself I had to look serveral times a this long list of wonderfull gifts. For sure a birthday to remember. Group Hug to everyone !

Happy belated birthday! I didn't realize your special day is the same as Mama's!! Now I can always remember your day and thrilled you receives so may beautiful gifts from around the world.
Thank you for sharing with those of us who didn't know.
Huggers!!!

Dear Shirlene, just thrilled to piecses to see all the beautiful presents you received. Aren't there some wonderful women/men in the world? Love and blessings Chris.

Well, I don't know what happened, but I see you have obviously had a very happy birthday. I'm sure now you'll have many more.

I know I am late, but a prayer for you.
Heavenly Father,
I ask you to bless our special sister very day with good health, and happiness that is yours to give. Bless very thing that she puts her hands to,keep her safe in your love. May she be blessed in mind, body and soul. Put your angels around her in the late hours of the night,to give her peaceful sleep and rest. May all her dreams come true that are in your well. May she always have money in her pocket, but not so much,that she doesn't need your help.
Let your Holy Spirit touch her in a very special way. These things I ask in the name of the Father, the Son,and The Holy Spirit. Amen.

Happy Birthday a few days late, Love in Christ, Brenda Lea

Congratulations on all of the gifts!

Happy BDay Shirlene and I pray you many, many, many more!!! *2U

Hi Shirlene, I have been away for over a month and just realized what our Cuties have done for you. I have you on our prayer chain and will keep you and your family in my prayers everyday. I have heard you are the guru for FSL? If so do you have a site I can visit?
