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)
