if only EVERY day was my birthday.....
Jan. 7th, 2013 10:27 amI had an amazing birthday in part thanks to you guys! I feel so lucky and blessed by all of my friends here, some that I've met and some that I haven't and those that transcend all of it, it's an amazing amazing thing.
I had a lovely breakfast where Wendy baked all of my favorite sweet yummies for me, strawberry jelly muffins with a buttery sugary crust on top and apricot creme cheese crescent rolls, and she got my favorite herb bagels from our bagel shop and made green olive creme cheese, and she made a giant fresh fruit salad with pineapple and grapes and strawberries. It was delish. All of Wendy's family came and my 5 nieces and nephews and I received ton's of hugs and babylove and gifts galore.....new boots, Lily Pulitzer notepad and magnets, gift certificates for my bookstore, the art store, my favorite fabric store, a sweet new journal, and the BEST BEST BEST THING EVER.....
A signed copy of my favorite book that was just specially rereleased in limited edition for the 10th Anniversary....Neil Gaiman's Coraline!!!! I picked this book up at my son's bookfair at school when it first had come out and before I knew who Neil Gaiman was.....oooooo....I just realized that means my original book is a first edition, cool. AND I completely fell in love with the story. I read it over and over, it was just magical and scary and sweet and tapped into some girlhood sense of adventure that I have. I made myself a Coraline doll, I use an aspect of the story (where Coraline peers thru a stone with a hole in it to see spirits) for my business art( hang tags and business cards and such). I really love this book! So now I have this amazing beautifully illustrated hardback in an equally beautiful dustcase, signed my both Neil and the illustrator.....gasp. It actually had to come across the Atlantic to get to me you guys!!!!!
And we went to the jeweler and officially got our bands and my engagement ring....it's getting sized I will show you all soon.
OK the part where I gush about my flist and how I went to sleep the night before my birthday barely able to sleep, wondering how many happy birthdays I would wake up to, and what my birthday post from Junie might be, for real, I don't know what is wrong with me. Well flist you didn't disappoint, you made me whole birthday! Thank yo![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
