A Special Birthday and THANK YOU ~

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~

I wrapped brown craft paper around the gift (a piece of pottery)...

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 ~

I also typed up 50 reason I love having her for a friend,

folded them up

and

put them in a jar.

She can take one out every day and read it or read them all at once ~

(Pookie don't look at the next picture unless you have read every slip of paper in the jar)

Here are some of them.

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 ~
