My Birthday Was Amazing!


My dear friend, Johnna, put the word out that I needed some birthday blessings, and I didn't realize it, but she was right! To my complete and total surprise packages started arriving in the mail for me, from women I don't even know! The cutest, most adorable trinkets came one right after the other. I received vintage necklaces (which everyone wants to steal when I wear them), an apron, a crocheted purse, handmade candle, birds nest on a cake plate with glass dome (so adorable in my livingroom!), cutest clipboard ever, vintage floral pics, mary jane's farm magazine subscription (yea!), paper crafts that are stinkin cute hanging all over my house, pin cushion, coffee cozy, cutest handmade doll that is adorable on my livingroom couch, an amazing handmade hook rack that is cuter than anything in my kitchen--I cannot express how completely surprised I was and how completely spoiled I feel! I received exactly the kinds of things I would want to buy at my fav shop! Thank you, all of you wonderful ladies, who I don't even know, for taking the time to bless someone you don't even know. You have truly touched my heart in ways words cannot accurately describe. You are totally and completely amazing!

Roses are red...

Spring is springing, just a little bit, in our backyard! I am fired up and ready to dig, dig, dig new gardens! My inspirational friend, Johnna, has encouraged me to start a veggie and herb garden, so here goes...the dirt is almost ready and the seeds are here too! I can't wait to see what happens.
