Monday started with my favorite day of the year….my own birthday! My birthday is always a time to reflect for me and look back and just celebrate all that has happened over my now 46 years. Like any celebration I like to drag it out a bit so here are a few favorites from my birthday week!
{Birthday Post}
I wrote a post for Grateful Heart Monday about why I am grateful for
One More Year!
{Birthday Surprises}
Surprises are definitely my favorite!
My friend Holly knows my love language includes snail mail and fun pens and I was so surprised when she showed up at my office with this fun gift! These pens are the perfect fine point and I can’t wait to use them!
My friend Kelli & her husband made this for me!! Love a homemade gift and I seriously cannot wait to fill this one with Christmas cards soon!!
What’s more fun than shopping with someone else’s money?!! I received a call on my birthday letting me know my sweet friend Ginny in California arranged for a gift card to be waiting for me at Tres Chic, a local boutique. I paired it with some of my birthday money and bought this great crochet and fringe cardigan!!!
{Birthday Dates}
Lunch on Tuesday with my beautiful mom….seriously y’all she will be 70 in December! Good genes are something to celebrate!
Dinner on Wednesday with these lovelies!
And then we joined my sister and mother-in-law for Beauty and the Beast! I knew we were going but they made the tickets part of my birthday gift which was such a treat!
And then drinks that turned into dinner last night with this beautiful friend!
{Snail Mail and Sweet Words}
I loved receiving cards in the mail from sweet friends! Every text, Facebook message and blog comment was a special treat! Thanks to each of you who made my day special by taking a moment to think of me!
{Family Time}
This moment right here….all my babies in one spot laughing and having some fun family time! Y’all…this is my very favorite! I love these babies and it is the biggest gift when they will take time to spend with their momma!
{Birthday Gifts}
I know I showed you
this purse on last weeks Friday favorites….well friends it arrived on my birthday so happy birthday to me! It is fabulous and I’m still thrilled it was $38!
My new
Farmgirl Paints cuff also arrived this week and I love it! This is the first I have ordered for myself in black. For the record…I was completely safe in this picture….turn lane and at a complete stop on red. If you are interested in a personalized cuff she is open until November 2nd and you can still use the code FANGIRLSHELLYJ for 15% off.
Quick prayer request…my Mamaw fell on Wednesday night and hit her head so she has been under observation the past two days at the hospital in my hometown. I will be heading to check on her today.
