Goody, Goody, Birthday Goodies!

I recently celebrated a birthday and received many awesome things
of which some came under a tree wrapped in lovely nature embellishments! We went camping for my birthday and my sneaky friend Dez used what we had around to wrap these while I was away from camp! Imagine my surprise and delight when I stumbled upon these when walking to the tent!
within one of the packages was this adorable!!!! dog!
Embroidered turtle cocktail napkins!

I also received a birthday package in the mail that contained these items
This is one of Karin's masterpieces she created for me! What a lucky girl I am!
Sweet Karin purchased the above notebook at a store called bon in Tucson, AZ.

Not only did Karin's package arrive in the mail Amazon was there too!!
My cousin gifted me a hefty card and I spent it in a matter of 2 clicks with the mouse!

Now, the rule for birthdays is you always have to treat yourself right?
After taking Amy's class I had to find some tin types to make jewerly, however I don't have the patience to look through photographs and tin types.
I was delighted to find this old album at a antique store in Cloverdale when we stopped to get gas.

full of photographs and tin types!

Oh did I mention we went wine tasting on the way to camping?
