Having dear and loving friends and family members who remember you in thoughtful ways is a great gift in life.
If one of the friends just happens to be immensely talented and artistic, it's extra special!
Jana, who fits the above description, sent me a birthday gift recently from Georgia.
This is the festive contents I saw when the box was opened!
Jana had cross-stitched a pillow!
Knowing I love lambs and pink roses, the pillow has both!
I love it!
She also made the birthday card that was enclosed!
It was the most beautiful card received and I have no idea how she could make it.
Yes, I have a September birthday and love to celebrate the whole month! ha!
She also tucked in a carry-all bag and a tea cozy.
What a sweet friend she is. Did I tell you she was talented, too?
It's so good to be alive and have another birthday to celebrate.
I am very, very grateful for life as well as for beloved family and friends.
p.s. I'll share a few other gifts with you, too, so, if interested, stay in touch over the next few days.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE TO DO TO CELEBRATE "YOU" ON YOUR BIRTHDAY?
What a sweet and thoughtful gift. I love that people still cross stitch. Hope you're having a wonderful birthday month. XO Laura
ReplyDeleteWell I think you need to make a trip to Georgia to thank her - fly into Atlanta - I can pick you up and take you there! LOL Those were very beautiful gifts. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
