Some Presents to Me

Hello all!
I shamelessly published that my birthday was this weekend on sendsomething just to see if anything came through for me.  I did get a few cards which is better than I had hoped.  My family and friends are NOT good about sending birthday wishes and in this day and age of texting and Facebook - most people start and stop with a text or FB post.  It's better than nothing, but a bit of a cop out.
Anyway, I have long since realized all of this and no longer leave my birthday happiness to the stars!  Here are a few mail presents I bought for myself : )

the bunny suicides postcards- "when cute fluffy little bunnies just don't want to live anymore"

art postcards

And the trip to Colorado was also a present to me as well : )  I just had to time it a few weekends before because that's when my friend's schedule and mine best worked.  Here is a few images of the fantastic food we ate.  I gave my mostly vegetarian ways up to try buffalo (yum!) and elk (yum!) and quail (yuck!).

for dessert: tamarind creme brulee and prosecco gelee with white chocolate rose mousse and huckleberry compote!

Finally proof that I am evovling at another year older.  Today I let myself go into Marshall's with the intent of buying myself a birthday present.  Well I liked the Vera Wang stationery alot, but it was $8 a box on sale.  SO I opted for supplies instead- Something I never would have done a year ago!  Now I have to try to make something fun!

Anyway, I hope this all finds you creating your own brand of happiness!
My fondest wishes,
-Becky
