Blessings!

Saturday was my birthday...and I got some really lovely gifts...including the new flag I shared HERE. I want to share a peek at a few more of my birthday blessings!

Just look at this wonderful journal my dear friend Gail gave to me.  I love it because the cover is removable...what a great idea!  Gail hopes I'll use it to journal about a trip I'll be taking in the Fall. I think that it will be just perfect for that! 



It's embellished beautifully...tiny doily, ribbon, and leaves carefully stitched to a
little vintage doily.  So pretty!

My sweet Penelope gave me this cute little bar of soap...made from Goat's Milk. It lathers wonderfully!!  But it's almost too cute to use.  I also got another soapy sheep and some wonderful lotion from Penelope and her mommy too.

A new summer bag....I picked it, but Bill bought it for me.

Light weight and oh, so sweet!  It'll be perfect for an overnight trip I'm taking today!

I also got some things to put in  my garden and in the new playroom we're putting together for the littles.  I'll share peeks at those another time.

I got bunches of flowers too... (thanks Patricia, Sandy, and Jen!)



I have such kind and caring friends and co-workers, and the best family ever! 

That's the very best gift of all!
