I was awestruck as I unwrapped a birthday package from my sister. First of all, packages
that come in the mail are always a treat. And then the unwrapping adds intrique
and beauty to the whole experience. I love this color theme! And the gorgeous oversized mug
just makes coffee (or soup!) an even better experience for my senses.
I am given journals because people know I love to write. I keep a house journal,
an idea journal, a sketching journal, a journal about stories my parents tell,
a journal about daily life, and have made "altered" journals ... and, ETC !
This states a good reason to journal ... or blog!
Exactly the sort of gift I like to open too! Enjoy!

How beautifully she carries the themes out, both color theme and activity theme. Who can write properly without a cup of coffee at hand? Sweet gift...
ReplyDeleteYour sister knows you well. The gift is one for the senses, in every sense of the word!
ReplyDeleteWell Happy Birthday!!! I have always kept journals too!!!

Just the sort of gift I like - personal and beautiful. Won't you have a great time sipping something while writing in your journal.

Podso,
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking if you fill that coffee mug full of coffee...you could have a whole lot of time for journaling!!!What a pleasant surprise! Loving the hue of your birthday theme!!!
Fondly,

Happy Birthday for whenever it is, or was! I am a journal writer too, and I also like those colours, for they look so pretty together~
ReplyDeleteI love the color scheme of those pretty gifts, too. Happy birthday to you! And many more. Have a wonderful weekend. Tammy
ReplyDeleteYour sister knows you well Dotsie and her gifts are all useful things. I didn't realize you kept so many journals; I have the small books but don't write in them all. I do wish I had written down stories from my Dad while he was alive, he was a great storyteller.
