Goals...

One of my New Years Resolutions

is to send everyone a birthday gift in my family this year....

I'm good at remembering everyone's b-day's

but

let's face it, there is nothing better than receiving

a small token of love!

I have a big family so, I'm guessin' about 36 tokens of love...

I've always wanted to do alittle better in the

b-day department, and so this is my year!

but, I have a few exceptions,

it will be a creative/fun gift from my heart, and creative on the finances too ,

and there are no promises' that it will be there ON your b-day,

altho, I'm shooting for that too,

I just don't want to feel like I've failed before I've even gotten started!

So, Monday is my nieces birthday, she's my first gift receiver.

she is a college student and so of course, every cute college girl needs a pair of

"book ends"

to make her dorm room look cute!

Here's where my creativity kicks in....

I found these at my local thrift store for $2.

Used some cute paper I had at home,

Added a little personal touch, only on one side,

and Whalaa....

Book ends, these will help Lauren be so smart,

hey, anything I can do to help, right!

(little Lauren and I ..... 19 years ago)

Happy Birthday Lauren Lou!

P.S. Lauren doesn't read my blog very often and so I feel safe,

but

just in case she does, won't she be so freakin' excited to receive these in her mailbox!

pss. I bet the rest of my family is so excited for there b-day's this year....

Deidre, you're next!
