My 100 mph birthday celebration!

Yesterday was another milestone for me.

I turned 52 years old.

I can't believe it...where have the years gone? I have been looking for them for a long time and

just can't seem to find them. lol.

My bff showered me with beautiful gifts again and

we had the best time together for lunch and laughter.

We even rode in her car at 100 mph!

{ I am telling everyone that , but something was wrong

with her speedometer. May have been set to kph instead

of mph. It really felt like we were going 50 instead , but

doesn't 100 sound much more exciting? ha!}

My bff told me awhile ago that she had been creating my

gifts and wow did she ever!! She made me two gorgeous

pillows and this is the first one.

{Made from two H&M shirts}

I was blown away when I opened the package. She

used up every little bit of fabric and utilized all the

buttons etc. The part at the bottom is a pocket so

I can add some goodies to it.

Love all the details! Buttons, plackets, cuffs etc.

She used it all!

This is the back of the pillow so depending on my mood {foofy or not} I can switch it up and one side is just as gorgeous as the other!

Here is the second pillow made from a sweater that had ruffles on it. I believe it is wool and oh so soft.

She used part of the ruffle to make the flower. I love it!

She is so so talented. She said she just started cutting

and these are what she came up with. She constantly amazes me with her beautiful creations!

Thank you so much my forever friend!!

I did tell her these pillows will be put UP when kids come

to stay. These pillows are not for laying heads on or

drooling on! {ha ha}

This is a very quick post as I DO have kids coming in

tonight and I need to get busy cleaning, but wanted

to show you some of my birthday goodies.

I did have a wonderful day...spend lunch and a few

hours with my bff and then when hubby got home

we went out to eat again and I shopped at Kohls too.

Got a black sweater {with ruffles of course}, some

of my favorite perfume , a rose pin and a scarf. All of it was on sale or clearance and then I had a

coupon to get an additional 30% off. Love a good sale... Blessings~

Last time...

...that you will see a glimpse of my Christmas tree this year.

I love seeing it peeking through this mirror.

We have another Christmas celebration this weekend

so I maybe MIA for a few days. I will be back next

week with some new finds for my booth...I hope.

I pray your new year will be as blessed for all of you

as much as you have blessed my life this past year.

I never thought the blogging world would be so

wonderful!!

Here's to a new year with amazing new ideas and

wonderful new creations!
