My birthday fell on the weekend this year--and my "old" college roommate celebrated her birthday on Friday--so it turned into a weekend-long birthday celebration when she came to visit on Thursday. I thought that I would share a few photos of my presents from the kids as this week's Wordless Wednesday Link-Up.
The Group Shot...
The tall "basket" was a carnival/art glass knock-off that I found discounted for $5 in a local shop.
The girls say, "Why do you like grapes so much?"...Most of my carnival
glass is Indiana/Fenton/Northwood....most with grape patterns.
Macy's Presents...
Our home has been overtaken by rubber band looms--but, I thought the little cupcake that she created from her loom was really cute! The mint makes me smile--because it is her favorite candy. The card read, " I love You!!!" and was decorated with heart balloons.
Madelyn's Presents...
Madelyn opted for a rubber band loom-created, "thumb" ring, a bead bracelet, and a choker created from silly bands on the band loom. The candy was color coordinated with my card. Inside, the card read, "I know I'm not always a perfect child--but, you are always a perfect mom."
I cried.
I always cry.
It was a really good weekend--and, I am ready for this year! (Okay--I'm actually just ready for Spring--but, I'm now officially
ready!)
Enjoy your Wednesday--and don't forget to link up your latest Wordless Wednesday posts!
