{a birthday surprise}
Saturday, January 28, 2012 at 7:03PM
Just when I resign myself to the fact that the days of {birthday woo-hoos!} are a thing of the past, my sweet daughter's surprise me with a very special gift. ...
... there is no end to the nice things that these three {young ladies} have done for me as of late. They have stepped in and taken over the most undesirable chores. They have goofed and joked and hooted until I have no choice but to hoot along. They have gone out of their individual ways to make me {smile} lately and I love them even more deeply for this. ...
... for a long time now I have wanted this - {see below}
... a {kindle fire}. I am doing a major happy dance over here!
I {LOVE LOVE LOVE} to read and my {sweet girls} know it.
I decided to make a pretty case for it.
... you know I {LOVE WHITE} and {VINTAGE} anything,
so I dug around my studio and found some fabric
that was perfect for the job.Quilted. Antique white. Perfect.
... I ruffled four layers of antique gold tulle,scrunched silky floral trim, looped vintage pink seam binding, and vintage eyelet ribbon for a tie closure ...
Super easy...super pretty...and a wonderful birthday surprise!
