Birthday Christmas!

Imagine my surprise when I opened up a box yesterday and saw all of this:

A very sweet blogging friend probably had to sell one of her kidneys to put together these goodies for my birthday: Three sets of Nesties, a Sizzix label die, gems, flowers, alcohol ink applicator, a Hero Arts Friendship Message stamp, and R20 Copic pens! I'm most excited about the Copics because now my Greeting Farm images will have nice, rosy cheeks and not look so anemic. And the Nesties fit perfectly with what I already own. She's so sneaky smart!

But now, the pressure is ON! When I spoke to her and thanked her for all the wonderful goodies, she closed with, "I can't wait to see what you do with them!" {Gulp!} Me too!


Another sweet friend sent me some gifts which included this adorably cute pincushion! 'Bye bye generic tomato pincushion; hello cute little daisy pincushion! It's sooo cute that I want to keep it in its box and just admire it. I'm so blessed to have such sweet, generous friends...

I will post pics of some wonderful cards that were sent to me, too. So this year, turning 40 wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! {wink, wink}

  5. Wow Donna!! You have some generous friends!! Love this little pincushion! I know about that pressure! A wonderful generous lady sent me a whole package of alcohol inks and supplies, only because she wanted to see what I create with them!! She didn`t even know me! You do not want to disappoint such lovely persons :) I am still not satisfied with my results...But you`ll never fail!

    Hugs,
    Vanessa
