My best friend turned 50 on June 26th.
BUT
We couldn't get our schedules arranged to have her birthday lunch
until yesterday.
This was my birthday gift to her~
and also added brown paper shred in the top ~
Embellished it with seam binding ribbon
and
a homemade flashcard along with a sticker or two...vintage style ~
This is the pottery piece that I purchased at
my favorite store...
HOME GOODS ~
folded them up
and
put them in a jar.
(Pookie don't look at the next picture unless you have read every slip of paper in the jar)
I used different fonts for different adjectives
and also added the definition of each adjective
along with my own thoughts on a few of them.
I had a lot of fun doing this.
A birthday to remember...the big 50!!
I also want to say a most heartfelt
THANK YOU
to all of you who read my post yesterday
and emailed me to offer encouragement.
I feel so blessed to have your support.
I love the land of blog.
Blessings ~
