Here is Dianne, above, with her Purple Crown and this very sweet Glass Heart which you can hang on your Christmas Tree, or wherever......
And below, a closer look or two at some of those adorable little skinny Bear Angel's.....I thought these were so darling, as did everyone else, I might add.......
Above, Jacquie, holding her little Angel Bear......And you can see a 'heart' ring on her finger and these Red, White & Blue Bracelets, on her other arm.....
Here above, a close-up of one of those Heart Rings. Each one was a little different from the other, though all of them were very colorful.....
Lee is holding up a Star Necklace that has the wonderful Bubble Maker stuff inside.....These came in Red and Blue, in Honor of July 4th, which was a few days after our lunch....In fact, there were a few things in Honor of July 4th, like those three bracelets and there was a Necklace, too......
Above, you can see the Necklace and those Bracelets....plus a kind of cute Flag Pen and of course, the Heart and a Shell Whistle....
We had a lot of fun with these Whistles....In truth, they are really more like a one 'tone' thingy......
I asked Carol to hold her Shell Whistle up and didn't realize it was still wrapped in it's Bubble Wrap....lol...Then, Dianne took a picture of me, taking a picture of Betty, with her Shell Whistle......
After experimenting with each one of these, we figured out a little musical fun thing to do---going down the scale in half-tones---And I made a Video of this musical tone thing--it took a few tries, but we finally got it.....And here it is........We do have a lot of fun, as you can tell from this Video above.....
This was a really pretty Post-It-Note-Pad that I found somewhere else, on line. I thought they were so pretty that I decided we should each have one for our Gift Bags. They are not only pretty, but they are practical, too.....
I always like to have some edible things, if possible---Chocolate, of course...lol....Those little bite size dark chocolate squares are deeee-licious! And of course, you cannot go wrong with Tootsie Rolls---these being in Honor of July 4th.....
And above...that is a Flamingo "sucker", otherwise known as a Lollipop....It still had it's cellophane protective covering on it so you really can't see it too well.....But, it was another edible that was included in our Gift Bags.....And speaking of 'edibles'.....it was time for the Birthday Cakes......
Will brought in mine, first......It was that incredible rich dense dark chocolate one from Sweet Lady Jane, the one that has a slight bit of Cappuccino flavor that I love so much and that is decorated so very colorfully......Now, once again, you will have to wait till I can get the next bunch of pictures together......Bear with me, please.....More To Come........

Loved the video and the live action of the group. Think that should be a regular feature. When does the CD come out with that shell diddy?? LOL.

Just stopped by and I have caught up on all your latest posts and as ever have enjoyed this 'fly on the wall' view of a wonderful get together of close friends. You always seem to have so much fun awith your little gift bags and in each others company. And the flowers! Gorgeous! I really love thos eindividual rose pots Van made you. All that remaisn to say is this:
Happy belated Birthday Naomi. I remembered as it is just two days before mine and menat to pop by but sadly this didn't happen :( I have explained things a little more on my blog (yes I have actually posted something) but I have not been having an easy time of things and energy levelks have been low. The demands on my time at the moment are enormous and it does not help that I am very unhappy at work. Anyway, suffice to say, I have not been lost to FB as I prefer the relationships with my blogfriends. FB is far too impersonal.
Happy belated birthday again dear Naomi and hugs and purrs to you adn the beautiful Sweetie.- Thursday, July 15, 2010 at 4:59:00 AM PDT
