A couple of weeks ago I received my first birthday card from a Shackie. Over the next many days, I received a few more. I was thrilled with each one, but I didn't feel satisfied. Here I was, opening this incredible GIFTS -- with no one to share them with but my DD and DH (who, although they oooohed and awwwwed -- probably didn't appreciate them as much as I did!).

So I decided to save them all and open them during our big family celebration (my extended family celebrates ALL birthdays!) We celebrated my birthday (and my DH's birthday from earlier in the month) yesterday at my sister's house.

I opened each card one at a time and passed them around in a circle to admire your cards. My 18-year old nephew asked, "Aunt Nancy, how do all of these people even KNOW it's your birthday -- and how do you know them anyway?" I told them all about the Shack and all of my wonderful friends.

It was such a special treat to share all of your cards with my family -- thank you so much! I am planning on PMing each of you to thank you personally (probably not until tomorrow!).

BTW -- for my birthday, from my family, I received the new circle cutter from EZ (I'll let you know how I like it!) and the paper cutter from Making Memories. My DH tells me that I know own about 7 cutters and that it's time to reduce my collection. (These are straight line cutters -- like the Fiscars, Dahle, and more). I think I have two I can part with -- none of them do it all!!!! :confused:

You guys are the best! Thanks so much! :notworthy:
