Gifts From the Mint Ranch...

I am a horrible procrastinator but thankfully so is Dana!Her birthday was back in December but I didn't her her gift out until early February and mine is in January but didn't come until a few weeks ago.Luckily we both felt each others gifts were well worth the wait.I thought I'd share some of the fab gifts she sent me.

I am in love with bows so anything in bow shape or print chances are I'll be an instant fan of,like this rhinestone brooch!


I know Ouija is taboo with some people.I remember during slumber parties as a child my mother wouldn't allow it in the house and would make my friends and me play outside,far away from the house inside a circle of salt.I'm sure she wouldn't really be fond of this bracelet but I love it!


Every piece I unwrapped made my heart skip.By the time I got to this,which was actually the last thing I opened,my tears of happiness spilled over.Oh my that face!!Too cute!And the all mighty patch I'm not sure if I'm going to put on a purse or jacket yet...probably a purse of some kind.


Last but not least is this table runner.Combining 2 of my favorite things:Hearts and bluebirds!

Nothing of Significance...

I am going to make an attempt to blog 3 times a week...but that also means I need to have things to blog about.As of right now I am already blowing it as I have nada,hence the title.What do we do then?We ramble.I can do that.2011 has been pretty mellow.

New Year was ho hum and the second was my birthday.It was also uneventful,no cake,no happy birthday song.I am 29 which I am well aware is still young but it was a slightly depressing birthday for me as this isn't where I saw myself at 29...I'm sure a lot of people do that to themselves though.Most goals set in life aren't reached or we fall short but its just a matter of picking yourself up and keep chugging along.I think I do that pretty well.This is my year though that I'm going to make myself be where I want to be come Hell or high water!


Also chugging along are my bangs.I will not cut them,I will not cute them.I will not cut them.


Ollie turned 2 back on the 23rd if December.I told him this is the year I get him neutered,he didn't like that idea.


You'll forgive me for being a tad morbid but despite it being heartbreaking to find a dead humming bird in the drive way today it was also beautiful so I thought I'd share.The fact that it's dead isn't pretty by any means but normally we don't get to see humming birds so close and they move so fast you miss the detail but isn't he/she beautiful!?


As a child I always though they had fairy like wings because they moved so fast.I remember the first time I ever saw one sitting still I was surprised to see they had wings just like any other bird.I found a duck dead in the drive way a few weeks ago.I hope this doesn't become a pattern.Apparently my dads driveway is where feathered creatures come to die.
