"Look with your special eyes" I have the nicest friends

It happens every single year ....yup I had another birthday, I celebrated my birthday in Portland Oregon with my sister and her husband. Now I am back and some of my friends really went all out for me.
One on the nicest gifts I got was from my friend Colleen Myler, she just had major back surgery and should have been taking care of herself and resting but instead she brought me a great home cooked meal of chicken tortilla, soup and salad with the best Cesar salad dressing that I ever had and she threw in a few frozen margarita's and 2 cute margarita glasses to finish off the meal. And if that wasn't enough (and it was) she bought me my favorite lipstick ....thank you Missy you went way overboard.

Anyone who really knows me understands my love of baking cupcakes and Ronna found me this beautiful cupcake mug ..too pretty to use for drinking...check out the bling on this beauty..Thanks Ronna I will find a special place for this and every time I look at it I will think of you.

Jackie is so sneaky! She knew that I had been bidding on this Brighton Bracelet for days and couldn't seem to win- This is last years Power Of
Pink bracelet, Every year Brighton comes out with a new bracelet to bring awareness to breast cancer and they sell out really quick and once they are gone...they are gone. I loved this bracelet so much and really really wanted one and thanks to Jackie ...I have mine. I love everything about this bracelet...thanks a million Jackie.

Jerry and June ...all I can say is "you girls out did yourselves" How cool is this mosaic patio side table? Jerry and June got really creative when they made me this table, the work is just exquisite and the pansies are perfect for me...I love it, love it , love it.
I can't imagine how long this must have taken you two....and I wished I had a video camera of the process I am sure there were lots and lots of laughs as you worked together. Can you say Lucy and Ethel?

You can't even know how surprised I was to open this beautiful apron that I received from Tanya.... this girl can sew and pick the most perfect fabrics. This picture just doesn't do it justice but the apron is reversible one side is a  Rodeo print and the other is really pretty print with all cowboy hats....Perfect for me since my sister and I are trying to start a business called "The Irish Cowgirls". So I opened up my apron and inside the pocket was a cute little business card holder ...do you see it?? it's the little pouch shown on top of the apron with the cowboy hats.
So just when I think I couldn't be more spoiled Tana tells me there is more....she made a matching apron for my sister ...whaaaa??? that's just too sweet! Thanks Tanya you are so creative and very very thoughtful.

Some months ago I told my sister that I needed a cute functional bag to take to the gym, I told her I needed a place for my gym pass, a place for my IPhone and IPod and a place for my car keys and glasses and that it had to be cute. Check out this really cute bag she made. She hand stamped on the front the guitar and the skull and wings and check out the bling. On the back of the bag there is a small pocket for my gym pass and on that pocket she stamped "backstage pass" and on the side pocket there is a stamped guitar pick. I love this little bag I used it for the first time this week and it was perfect. Thanks Dennie for the perfect gym bag and for being the best sister and friend a person could have...I love U.
