I had a very nice weekend despite our plans getting rained out. It is incredible how much rain we’ve received here in Central Texas and I really feel for those families who have lost so much. It looks like we have more rain in the forecast so wishing safe days ahead for everyone!
I celebrated a birthday on Monday and we went out for a yummy lunch and I had this mini cheesecake waiting for me when I got home.
My husband treated me to some wonderful goodies. I got Gelli Plate Printing by Joan Bess. I cannot wait to try out some of these techniques. He also got me a box of Faber-Castell Gelatos. Love these and I only had two, so yay, I now have a collection. And, I also got a a very lovely necklace.
I had many birthday wishes from friends and family. Thank you guys for making my day so sweet!
Of course there were more books involved as it was a birthday weekend. Half Price Books was having a 20% off sale and I snagged a few books: Wings of Fire by Charles Todd, Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter and Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes.
And, having a three day weekend was the best. I hope you all had a very nice weekend. Tell me what you were up to.
A very happy belated birthday to you! Glad you didn’t wash away in all this rain. Hasn’t it been amazing and awful in turn? Good for the lakes and drought, bad for the poor individuals who have lost homes and even lives. And more to come. Sigh. Wish it could just spread out the rainfall a little. I visited the 20% off sale as well. I mean, why wouldn’t you? Got a few nice things and found some great bargains. Have a good week!
Happy birthday! Sounds like you had a lovely time celebrating. All the rain you’ve been getting is astonishing. It’s been in the news about flash floods and houses being washed away. I hope your area isn’t one of the flooded ones.
Happy belated birthday, Iliana! It sounds like you had a nice birthday overall. Into the Darkest Corner is so good! I hope you enjoy it.
I’ve been following the news about the flooding and storms. It really is terrible. My heart goes out to those impacted.
Belated Happy Birthday!! Love the gifts you received – they do sound plenty of fun. Hope you enjoy the books – I have Beautiful Ruins as well and have high hopes for it.
Happy belated Birthday, Iliana! Sounds like you’d a wonderful birthday and I hope you enjoy reading all the books you’ve got! 🙂
We’ve been getting lots of rains lately over here; it’s weird considering it’s nearly to June and we usually have very hot and humid weather. I suppose that changes like everything else.
Happy Birthdaay! Great gifts–wonderful to have a husband who knows just what to get!
Happy belated birthday!! It sounds like you had a lovely one and your new reads all are ones I have in my TBR list. I can’t wait to hear what you think of them. Happy Birthday again 🙂
Sounds like a wonderful birthday–Happy wishes to you on the forthcoming year! The weather has been awful in TX this spring–I hope it is drier now. I think it has been a weird spring all over. It’s very cool that you and your husband are both so creative–and he always knows the best present to give! Your book finds sound great, to0–I read an Elizabeth Haynes novel last year and really enjoyed it!
Can’t wait to see what you do with your new paints.
