Congratulations on your wonderful birthday presents, Anita! If I knew what any of them were, I would probably be even more excited, but I don't recognize any of those names. I'm only just beginning to learn Latin names, and these aren't familiar to me...yet. But whatever they are, I'm sure they are interesting, indeed. Logee's catalogs have me drooling every time I look through one! Enjoy your new babies! Marcia

IMHO-Asking for money is not very well received. My DS was invited to a party last year that was worded"in lieu of gifts please give money. Sammy is trying to buy a pool table". And from a practicality stand point it makes sense (I have 10 unopened Barbies in the closet from DD various parties) But that was all the moms were whispering about at the party. Several gave gifts and money because their children wanted to pick out a gift. We have gone to 2 parties that had gifts for charity. One was a little girl DD is friends with who is an animal lover and asked for dog food and items for the local animal shelter. ((Huge Hit!!)) Another brought gifts to give kids at a children's hospital. Good Luck!

Thank you all! My birthday was last month. I'm at the point where things like thing are a fun way to remember a birthday, but I'd be just as happy if they just....stopped....coming..... :) It is made of "kitchen grade" stainless steel, and I'm not quite sure what that means. He does metalwork as a hobby. I cannot wait to put it up, but we need to mess with things a little to be able to hang it right. It is HEAVY.

Update -- right after I had posted that I was able to order three of the digital albums (on August 29), I got a confirmation e-mail from QVC saying that I had, indeed, ordered and would receive three. On August 30 I received an e-mail from QVC with the subject line "QVC: Your Order(s) Has Shipped." But, it showed only one item as having been shipped. Then, on September 2 I received another e-mail from QVC with the same "Shipped" subject line, showing that the other two items have shipped. I received the first one on Wednesday or Thursday (I think -- I put it aside and didn't open it so now I'm not sure what day it arrived). I just now got around to opening the box. This is so cool!! It has a nice weight -- not too heavy to be kept in a purse, but not lightweight/flimsy. And it's a really pretty shade of pink, too. :-) I told my sister that I had ordered this for my niece (her daughter), but didn't tell her that I had ordered one for her, too. I just called her and asked her to e-mail me some more photos of the baby, so I can load them onto the device before I send it to my niece. Little does she know that I'll load them onto hers, too! I just checked QVC and the item is available -- the pink and the silver can be ordered, but it says "Available On Waitlist." The blue (looks like a pretty shade of blue, too), is in stock.
