Well today is my birthday…high 5 to me!
I received many cards and good wishes from friends and family and very special gifts of love…..My husband took me to dinner….My daughter baked delicious chocolate treats – my favorite…I receive beautiful flowers and cards from my sons and nephews too!
But then there was the unexpected……
One of the unexpected blessings of building this business has been the wonderful friendships that have developed. One very special friend, surprised me with this beautiful gift…. a fabulous handcrafted crochet hook!
She conspired with Kelli over at Sick ‘Lil Monkeys to send me a clay handled, Susan Bates H hook (my favorite).
I don’t even know how she new that it was my birthday! Wendy, words can’t express how touched I was by your gesture. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Neve one to let a good gift go unused, I gave myself a birthday gift too! I used my new crochet hook to make this super fabulous bag from A Crocheted Simplicity‘s new pattern (with a mod on the handles).
All in all, I’d say I had a pretty darned good day and am truly blessed.
