Birthday Goodies

First, my colleagues treat me to a BANNER cake at work:



Then, Dear Husband tracks down THE Kim Caldwell crafting tote of my dreams:



The gorgeous fabric, lace, and silk flower are such a treat!



What you might not be able to tell is that each different pattern of fabric marks a new pocket on the outside, with large compartments and additional pockets on the inside:



I know, it's hard to tell, but inside those pockets? MORE pockets!



I can't wait to fill it up!

Visit Artistic Bliss if you'd like one of these for yourself~

Remember the necklace I wanted:



No, no, it didn't arrive in a box next to my birthday dinner, but Dear Husband gifted me with a brooch earlier:



Isn't she pretty?



It's **GOOD** to be 39!

Having a birthday so close to Christmas means December is one of my favorite months of the year! The baking, the giving, the smiles, the carols, the snow and twinkle lights~ it's magical every year. Happy Holidays to you and your families!
