Windfall...a very long post

Having a December birthday always meant very little birthday gifts for me...
too close to Christmas I guess..
Don't get me wrong I have had a couple birthdays that were great.
But this year!
Wow, I have never ever been this blessed, not only did I receive goodies, but I was wished wonderful sparkling tidings from so many of you!
I hope it's not in poor taste to show the gifts I was given..
Here they are in chronological order:)
From My love...(there's also a set of slipper boots and a fuzzy hat with ears that I'm wearing, so they aren't in the pic)

This is from the amazing Anna from Frosted Petunias She sent me one of her scrumptious paper dresses along with a lovely card with her incredible artwork on it... a gift from the Faeries,
Some warm fuzzy socks, enchanting ornaments, silver nail polish, a ring!
She also included these cigar boxes, they are too pretty to alter don't you think?

This is a surprise gift from the very talented (Victoria)Bear's Mom
A beautifully crafted shawl,

And one of her exquisite hand made cards!

My daughter got me this because she knows how much I love perfume! There's a Michael's gift card and something she created for me...

She used an unfinished doll head from Lisa Kettel's AWESOME shop!
she used real candy sprinkles!

My best friend flew out for the weekend from San Fransisco to surprise (and spoil) me and she brought me this,(and more perfume!!)

On Saturday morning the post dropped off another surprise gift! From the beautiful Carrie at cottage cozy
Look at how she wrapped it up..

This is what was under the lovely wrappings:



I know this was a very long post and I applaud you if you have actually stuck around to read it all...I just want everyone to know that I love and appreciate every word that was written and every gift that was sent.
You have made this one of the very best birthday memories ever!
Thank you so much!
