I put a butterfly pin on the back since I know Lisa loves butterflies. I also enclosed a couple bright red maple leaves I picked up in the yard since she commented earlier that she doesn't get to "see fall" like we do up north. I figured I'd share a little bit of my fall with her on her special day. Pop on over and leave her some birthday wishes.
I "met" Lisa last year during BeckySC's Pumpkin Challenge. She had stitched the incredibly cute BOAF freebie called Halloween Costume and I fell in love with it. She shared her copy of the freebie chart with me and we've emailed back and forth ever since. Along the way we've discovered several "Lisa things" and shared numerous giggles as a result. She's a kindred spirit for sure.
Happy birthday girlfriend! I hope you are rightly spoiled today!!!

Now for something completely different....
Our office has a tradition of dressing up for Halloween. We go all out. We even parade to the other floors "Trick or Treating" but mainly just to show off our costumes. This year two of the main people who really get into it weren't at work today so I carried on the tradition with the two other folks that did dress up.
The real Hamburgler
Me as Hamburgler
Yep, I see a resemblance here! Needless to say, we had a ball and made lots of people smile today.

I hope you have a Happy Halloween wherever you are and remember, there's a little kid in all of us!
Until next time,
The Inspired Stitcher aka The Hamburgler (just for today)!
