More gifties........


My bff Glenni just came up with the best gift, and it will keep on giving for years....she made us...she and I...an album called The story of Life.....and shes going to send me a packet every month to make pages to add to the book...pages for Jan, Feb , March and so on.....such a great way to capture our year. I cannot wait to get started!!!!!!


When I was back in New England last year visiting Glenni and my daughter, I went to this awesome nursery called Hollandia in CT....they had the most awesome ceramic mushrooms, red ones, but alas, I do not trust my packing enough to bring any home with me. Well, look what Glenni sent me!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!!!!!

In keeping with the fact that I LOVE red.AND I love birds..my sister got me these darling bird plates, and little bird salt and pepper shakers.......I love them, thanks Linda!!!!!

And I so apologize Miss Polka Dot that its taken this long to get this adorable gift posted....Cheryl made me this darling little spray cover with pressing spray, thanks sooooo much!!!!!!!

I have joined a PIF over at Cupcakes...this is my first one....so if you want to play with ME, email me and let me know you want in...theres room for 3 gals......and I will email you and let you know, I will take the first 3 emails. Then.....you continue it on your blog...you will have 3 gals to send a handmade gift to by June.

Here in Cali we had a pretty good size earthquake last night...funny because it was an odd time for an earthquake, I was in the kitchen and I almost had to grab the counter to keep from falling. At my sisters house, about 15 miles from her, stuff fell off her shelves......she lives right on the San Andreas fault, which is the biggest fault in Cali.....
In keeping with my new word, GRATITUDE.......Iam grateful it wasn't the BIG ONE!!!

LOVE those birdies! And I too am a red nut!
I am intrigued by the PIF thing. Sharon explained it to me. I think. I am a tad reluctant to join, but I do want to!

I do love those red plates Deb. They are sooo cute. And the mushy room too. And of course I saw your neat journal that Glenni gave. That's such a neat gift.
Let's not forget about Miss Polka dots giftie too. Love it. I have one you know.

I too am intrigued by the PIF thing! And I've been thinking about it. I've been reading your blog - found through the awesome Sharon of course - for awhile. So if you want me as a PIF buddy I'll be happy to join in the fun. I'm glad we would have until June to complete, because I am a habitual procrastinator! So - I'm in!

This is sounding like so much fun now! I'm looking forward to my gifty! Now I've just got to wait and see if anyone signs up for my PIF. Looks like you've got another buddy - welcome Toni !
