Happy Birthday gabrielsgarden!!!....I hope you had a wonderful birthday and Christmas combined....I know of others that have birthdays close to Christmas and they bemoan the fact they never got anything for their birthday as a child. Luckily I was a Leo, so I got a gift at halftime. :) Hope you have a great one.

All of our September birthdays have passed by. I hope each of you had a wonderful birthday. If you are in the exchange and had a September birthday, please make it easy for us and post on your thread if you have received all of your blocks. If you don't want to "name names" of people you have not received from you are certainly welcome to e-mail me about it. I think everyone has done well, but I will be checking soon because October is right around the corner! I hope everyone is doing well. Jeanne

Well, I was the one who added to the post causing it to drop, so I guess I will need to bump it to the top every few days. Sorry!

As you should already know, if you participated in 2010 and sent a block to someone in your group and did not receive a block back, Kristene (tinyteena) is trying to make sure all of this turns out right for you. Some were late getting blocks out for various reasons but are trying to get them out now and if that hasn't worked out, she will get a volunteer to make sure that if you sent your blocks, you get one in return. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Jeanne

I think this may be posted twice. When I first tried to post it and said to post the messsage, GardenWeb took me to something about astrology. Have no idea how that happened so I don't know if you will see this on here once or twice, but hopefully at least once. Also, hope you see quilting and not astrology! LOL Jeanne

Wow, K-J's right, what a special birthday! As Michael said, it probably would be kind of tough trying to carve out two separate birthdays, yours and that of His. But it's your day as well, so hope you were able to enjoy it. My niece was due to be born on the 25th but my nephew and his wife convinced the Dr. to let things go until the 26th. They kept her labor quiet, all the while monitoring everyone's health, and at 6:00 on the morning of the 26th we all marched into L&D and my sweet little niece was born. We celebrate her day as Family Day - my nephew doesn't celebrate Christmas but didn't want the kids to be isolated from their cousins. So the compromise was Family Day where everyone got together to exchange gifts and celebrate my niece's birthday. It actually has been fun and she doesn't seem to mind. I think she actualy likes it. When my niece started school, she noticed that everyone was celebrating Christmas and asked her Dad about it. So you know, the following year, they had a Christms Tree - something about a Dad and his girls.

Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to you!!

Happy belated Birthday Gabrielesgarden! Usually when someone has a b.d. on a holiday or close to it, they get short-changed out of gifts. But just think, one day when you are older, you won't mind this because you won't want people to bring up that you are having another b.d.. Well, I am 62 y.o. and still haven't reached that time, lol!

Thanks K-J and pris. Now if only I could write one worth publishing!! Seriously though, family gatherings are important to me, especially when the kids are young. So when my nephew didn't want to celebrate Christmas, I was devastated. But, as I said, his little one just charmed him into it.

Eloise - never thought of it that way - pretty smart thinking!! FYI, from your picture, you must be 62yy (years young)!

My husband's birthday (God rest his soul) was the 24th. The year we got married, I gave him his first birthday party ever. He knew he would get one less Christmas present because of it, but that was o.k. We started having his party in July, and it was a very good time!
