Gifts from the Mint Chocolate Ranch...

Dana over at Mint Chocolate Ranch is a good gift giver!My birthday present from her showed up in the mail this morning and it was just what I needed!You know that depressing feeling when all your bills show up at the same time?Well,its a proven fact that is a present shows up at the same time it voids the "ew,you again?I just paid you LAST month" feeling.

I opened the box to a pretty fluff of red tissue paper and THIS birthday card.Yes,it is a velvet Elvis card.So awesome.Even if you don't like Elvis you can appreciate the kitsch of velvet paintings.Don't like Elvis AND kitschy velvet paintings?I can't help you sorry.

Next was this delicious bar of chocolate from Moonstruck and some Burt's Bees almond milk cream love that stuff it smells so good!

Lastly a TUK shoe box.Hmmmm,was it shoes?Or was it something else in a shoebox?Never assume in such situations.Opened the box to find these 4 inch bad boys!They fit which was such a relief!So when I'm wearing these pretties I am a whopping 5 feet an 4 inches now!

Thanks Dana for the awesome gifts!Another year where you rocked my socks.And unlike me you actually send birthday presents promptly around said birthday date (unlike me who usually will mail a present within 3 months of birthday)

    Wowza! I want to get on Dana's birthday list too! Lovely gifts! And happy belated birthday. Thirty is a great age & guess what? The best is yet to come - really. Till you hit 60, then, well, I won't go on & be depressing ;- )
    Sounds like your house is coming right along & will be looking forward to more pics. Love the light fixtures!
