And the lucky winner of my Birthday give away is ~ 
It has been a great birthday!
Today is my Mom's birthday and she would have been 66.
As far back as I can remember my mom always spent her birthday baking my birthday cake and making preparations for a birthday party that was guaranteed to be better than the last one. And every year she had the same story to tell of how she spent her 21st birthday in the hospital waiting on me. When I was little I didn't think much of it because I was always slow and often ran late (still do). When I was a teenager I interpreted that as I was probably an inconvenience to a mile stone birthday that she missed out on. As an adult and a mother myself it is all very clear; she would have loved nothing more than to have shared her special day with me but as it was we would always spread the celebration over two days.
It is so amazing to me that as moms (and dads as well) that we sacrifice so much and do so much for our children unconditionally and with out thinking.
She was my mentor, my educator, my protector, my friend and my guardian angel on this earth. She loved me unconditionally and without thought. So on this day, her day I spent it with good friends, eating birthday cake and doing the one thing she taught me to do very well and that was sew.
With loving thoughts of my mom Linda,

She has blessed us with 7 years and 9 months of wet kisses and late night yappy barks; tons of hole digging and dirt moving. She makes every attempt to ward of all evil and good being the furious schipperke that she is (not).
By day she can be found lounging with the girlfriends watching the day pass by
(pay no attention to the hole in the background; you won't get a confession)
And by night she turns into a Princess!
Happy Birthday my little furry friend!
Another happy day!

We spent the afternoon together like two wild women on the loose!
When I picked her up she said "where are you taking me Grandma?" I was sure she already had her itinerary planned out so I was kind of taken back by the question. I replied with "well where would you like to go? We can go anywhere; shopping, for ice cream, the moon, Chicago...." After a brief pause she replies...."Let's not go to the moon today Grandma I want to be back by dinner; let's go to Chicago!"
Well we made a compromise and went to IHop ;) She loves pancakes!
After a little shopping and a whole lot of giggles the day could not be complete without some ice cream from the two story McDonald's
My day was completed with a big hug, a kiss and "I love you Grandma, thank you for a great day"
Oh my heart be still....but seriously ~ I'm going to need to call Jenny Craig by the end of the week!
