It was one of the most memorable birthdays I've ever had, thanks to so many friends and family and especially because of my wonderful DT Coordinator-Laura Vegas-and team.
The girls surprised me with this awesome Birthday Card Blog Hop
Here are some of the photos I grabbed from some of the blogs......
ooohhhh....it's good to feel loved! ;)
All these girls keep me very motivated by inspiring me everyday! Now I have all these handmade keepsakes as daily reminders........
And they're all made with BELLA PRODUCTS! Swoon.
You might as well have just wiped the drool from my mouth!
.....and then later in the afternoon delievered the handmade gifts in a darling pink box!
When the box arrived it had Laura's return address on it----so I thought, "How sweet of her she must have sent me a gift...."
What would be inside this adorable pink modge-podge-fabric-wrapped box.....????
SERIOUSLY!?!!!??? Every single handmade card that I saw on the blogs that morning was inside...with hand written message from nearly the entire Design Team! What a moment! I loved every single tiny detail and touch...all the pink! and all the birthday wishes! Wow. This is SOOOO COOL!!!
I thought to myself Why have I never done this for any of my friends?! This is so cool!
It just made my day! While I was still trying to meet art deadlines for CHA it forced me to look away from my computer and enjoy the little moments from my birthday!
Robin wrapped my office door and jazzed it up with some fun pink ribbons...and I had plenty of visitors including local Artistas, my mom, my aunt and plenty of phonecalls. I even was surpised when Steven bought me an iPad! I had NO idea, honestly! What a GREAT DAY!
Thank you to everyone that contributed to making my birthday so special. I truly loved it! How are you possibly going to beat this next year ;) wink wink!
Ciao ciao for now....off to do some Christmas shopping.....
I'm glad you had such a sweet surprise! You deserve it, Stephanie!
