Today I turn 43-whopeeee!
My daughter gave me the sweetest card that I had to take pics of it and share it here!
I admit it–it brought tears to my eyes! (multiple times! In fact, every time I read it I cry!)
just click the images to see/read what the card says-it’ll open in new window
and then the gifts she got me!
and she was so proud of getting them and making them for me!
She put a lot of thought, effort, energy into these which is probably why I cried even more and again multiple times!
1)Mascara-(dont laugh those who really know me…I asked for this particular mascara-Beyonce sure sold me on it via the commercial LOL marketing DOES work-for ME to want mascara!)
2)Butterfly finger nail decals (that’s more my hippie natural peace loving self–should be interesting combining it with the glimmer shimmer of the above mascara!)
3)iTunes gift card (because Christa knows I wont buy any apps, but now I can!)
4)Target gift card (love the butterfly design-accented with hand drawn hearts that Christa added–I love Target-as everyone knows!)
5)Hand made “I heart U” clay wall hanging with glass beads (Christa made this last night without my knowing what she was doing!–I’m going to attach purple ribbon and hang on wall next to my desk!)
6)Hand made coupon book–and the coupons in there are excellent! ๐ She may regret offering some of them…like “one day where I will do anything you tell me to do, when you tell me” and “one day where I will do whatever you want to do”–that one could be really sacrificing for her since I like doing things that she doesn’t! I’ll be merciful though ๐ She put a lot of thought and time into this!
7)and money to go to the movies and dinner today (we’re getting there, just waiting on UPS to make a delivery and working all this around my Holy Yoga training class tonite too)
I have to say this is one of my best birthdays ever!
and of course I was laughing and enjoying my dad and Lynda (stepmom) calling to SING me happy birthday like they do every year!
It wouldn’t be the same without that!
and to all my facebook friends wishing me a happy birthday! Thank you thank you!

Aww, how very special Tara! I’m grinning for you…..obviously your daughter was raised by a wonderful woman to be so thoughtful with the gifts she got for you! ๐
P.S. The reason you got the iTunes gift card is the same reason my kiddo got me one for Christmas. LOL – Still haven’t even used it yet!
