Birthday Gifts

I had a birthday last week and thoroughly enjoyed it.  I have the best family and friends ever.  My DH wanted to know what to get me, and all I could think of was a trip to Dick Blick to pick up some art supplies I'd been wanting.  We made a day of it, stopping at several places and ending up having dinner at a great Asian fusion restaurant.  It was a lovely day. 

Here's what I got from Blick.  I love the Derwent Inktense pencils.  They are great wet or dry and fun to use in journaling or on fabrics.  The inks are new to me, but I saw them on Judy Coates Perez's blog and had to try them.
