Bet they could come up with a cup cake if a mini pumpkin and snow man can be made!

Now that's a good idea. A safety pin beaded birthday cake would definitely be low cal.

Hi  all,

Today is my 61 year old birthday! So, as a birthday  present from me to all of my safety pin beading, knitting, crocheting and  other crafting  friends here on this list, I want to tell you what I  just discovered.

If you type in, free birthday stuff, in  Google, you find all sorts of free things you can get on your birthday. I  haven't looked at them yet, but I am going to do that right  now.

I love my birthday. I just love to celebrate it all day  long in little ways starting with my very own special birthday air that I  breathe when I wake up. I guess part of this all day special birthday  feeling comes from when I was a child. I attended the Illinois Braille and  Sight Saving School, they have changed there name now, but that is what it  was then. Anyway, on my birthday I would get a phone call from my family  and a gift in the mail, but that was usually all, unless I was home, every  now and then. So, I decided that instead of feeling sad because nobody  really focused on my birthday in the manner to which I would like to become  accustomed, I would do it myself.
I have now developed my birthday  celebration into an art form.

This  morning, I got up,  loaded the dishwasher and pretended that the loading just didn't happen,  poured myself a diet coke into a cut glass tumbler from my china closet,  got out a delicate small hot chocolate china cup and saucer from the same  china closet and am now looking forward to having some luscious, creamy  decadent hot chocolate later in the morning. 
Of
course, I am also going to  peel some birthday carrots and wash and wrap some birthday potatoes for  twice baked potatoes for a birthday meal with the family later this  evening. I also told my cat that he has already given me
3
birthday  presents because he jumped into my lap 3 times this morning without me  trying to coax him to do so. I will try to celebrate the entire birthday like this. It will be lots of fun!

So, if today is  someone else's birthday on this list, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Come and celebrate  with me! What do some other people like to do on their birthday? Let's just  make this a double celebration! Let's celebrate all of today's birthdays  and, let's have a happy unbirthday celebration for everyone else! Does  anyone have a pattern for a safety pin beading, knit or crochet birthday  cake with  candles?

Paulette
