Priceless Words ~

cute little monkey~ watching tv ~

You are cute, but not that cute

I want to color

Eat your food mom

I'm stuck

Eat your lunch

Just some of the words spoken by Annika

Wednesday when she was here.

I just had to write some of them down

and share them with you.

She really is quite the little talker.

I wondered where in the world she got,

*You're cute, but not that cute*...

her daddy told me it was on a movie.

She absorbs every word said by anyone

just like a little sponge. I hope you have a wonderful day today. Blessings~

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 ~
