I took the day off work. I always take my birthday off. I'm thinking it should be some sort of national holiday really. 🤣 By the time I got my coffee made and sat down at my computer to see how my net world was doing, I already had a Happy Birthday text from my brother and one of my sis-in-laws and a message from my sister Vicky that there was a bag on my back porch. What? A present had arrived before I even got out of bed and it wasn't from Amazon!
So of course I stopped what I was doing immediately and went outside to get it. How exciting ! Isn't this the sweetest bag?
The tag on the handle of the bag is a magic wand. I untied the knot that held the handle to the bag and took the wand off so I can take it with me and use it throughout the day. No telling what kind of magic is going to happen around here !
I opened the card first of course.
What a sweet sentiment, right ? I loved the cupcake stickers she put inside and look ! There is even a "It's my Birthday" sticker for me to wear ! 😂 .... and I'm going to too when I get dressed in a bit.
Sure was a lot of pretty tissue in that bag and inside, there were a few things individually wrapped on some of that tissue.
My Sis and I love good writing pens. Who writes anymore?? I do ! For work a lot, not to go on record, but jotted notes as I take calls, the caller's name and account number and key words about what they tell me or ask about. It helps me if I need to refer back. I also like to jot notes here and there that are not about work, ideas, thoughts, reminders. All that is lots more fun if there is a good writing pen to write with. These must be good writers, otherwise she would not have given them to me. I love all the different colors. Variety is the spice you know.
Next there were some Lindor Peppermint Truffle balls. Oh My ! I had never had any peppermint ones. After I finished opening everything else, I had to try one and it was very yummy. Actually, I've never met a Lindor truffle ball that I didn't like and this was no exception !
Burt's Bees Miracle Balm? Miracle ! For real, at 66 I could use a generous amount of miracles in all kinds of areas, so you won't catch me turning down one in any form. Funny... right ?
Whazzis ?? Some new fangled fun toy ! Ages 3+... why yes... I can see why I got this !
But putty ???
When I opened the can I found this very thick, pliable....stuff? Pliable but not sticky and it has all this little confetti type stuff stuck inside it.
When you take it out of the can you can stretch it in every direction.
Turns out it is a stretchy putty where the goal is to find these 6 characters. Kind of like Where's Waldo, but in a can of stretchy putty. Good gracious ! What WILL they think of next !??
I found one of the characters pretty fast, but I'm sure it will take a bit to find the others. I will get back to that later.
This was such a fun way for a birthday to start. My sister is always so thoughtful and she finds the neatest things, a great variety of useful and just for fun.
In a little while I will be going out to see my Mom. How could I deny her being able to see her little girl on her birthday? ha ha .... I'm thinking there will be some of her famous chocolate pie there. Oh yummy again ! I can't wait.
Thanks again for stopping by on my birthday. I know it's going to be a great day and I hope you have an awesome one too.
