Generous and Thoughtful Gifts From the Heart

My b-day gifts have been sitting in front of my China cabinet in my dining room for the past few weeks waiting for me to sort them, take pictures of them, and put them away.  Last night after dinner, I finally had a chance to work on them.  Yes, as promised I am finally posting pictures of some my gifts.  I am always very grateful for the generous and thoughtful gifts that I receive, but for some reason this year I am even more amazed by what I received.  I feel like my friends went an extra mile this year to get me items in my favorite themes.  It's funny that majority of my gifts fell into three categories.  These are the crafty items that I received,

the super cute Hello Kitty items,

and the Hawaiian themed items that I received.

I also received several gift cards to my favorite stores along with money from relatives. I appreciate all the special people in my life for making this year's b-day an extra memorable one and for being such a blessing to me.  Stay tune for some creative cards that I received for my b-day.
