It's not unusual to ask for an early birthday present. But it is unusual to be asked for permission to be given an early birthday present.My husband just gave me mine, three weeks early. A digital camera! I asked if the fact of the matter was that he wanted a digital camera and was disguising the purchase as a present for me. ;-) That sweet man said it was mine and mine alone.Guess this calls for my quilts to start showing up in my posts.
