me!

My mother never wanted anyone to know her age and I sort of feel the same way but now that it’s out there, you know!

A couple of months ago I sent special Birthday Wishes to someone I know. Her birthday wass close to the beginning of the month so I found 15 small gifts plus a birthday card for her to open beginning 16 days before her birthday. Each gift was wrapped and labeled with the date to open.
Sorry that I don’t have a photo of all the wrapped gifts.
She is a knitter and needed some stitch markers so I decided to make a few for her.
Some were beads on a flexible wire that would fit over an US 15 needle.
And some were large jump rings with a bead glued over the seam.
All slid easily onto a large open ring to keep in her knitting bag.
Most of the items before wrapping:
Here’s the list of the items pictured above: small aluminum baking pans and pumpkin bread mix, Turbie Twist®, cake mix and Jello pudding, a set of spatulas, tissue packet, eyeglass holder, office supplies, planner sticky notes and flags, stitch markers, surfboard-shaped emery boards, Au Jus mix, sunflower potholders, coffee cup sticky notes, a small lidded organizer, and a sign for her office…
She loved each one.
This was on my front porch the other day.
It was from a very good friend of mine and I had no idea what it could be.
Inside was a note and lots of brown paper lunch bags with numbers written on them.
I send these types of things to my grandkids for Advent and a couple of years ago I sent some to her kids. We call them Christmas Wishes. And even though I see Christmas stuff in the stores, it’s way too early for Christmas.
These must be…
…Birthday Wishes!
For me!!
My birthday is the 27th and here is a box of birthday wishes/treats. One for each day. That’s twenty-seven little reminders that someone is thinking of me.
I have no idea how she found the time to do this. She has five children: six-year-old twin girls, a four-year-old girl, and two-year-old twin boys. That’s a lot of busy!
And yet she took the time and got this wonderful box of goodies to celebrate me.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ♥
