Birthday week

I'll be celebrating my birthday this week, so I've got a few things planned...

Several years ago, a friend of mine told me about a great idea you can do during your birthday week. You basically choose one thing to do each day for the few days surrounding your birthday. Your birthday can be at the beginning, middle or end of the week. I will start my week tomorrow and will end it on Saturday. I've got most of my things planned for each day. I chose things that I either haven't done in a long time or have never done. They don't require a lot of time, but they're all fun and will make my week special.

So, you want to know what's on my list? You'll have to wait to find out what I did. It may give you some ideas for your birthday week.

In the meantime, here are a couple gifts I've already received in the mail from family:

My in-laws sent me this Lenox candy dish. It sits in our dining/living area for guests to enjoy. The only thing I need to do is fill it with sweets!;)

My sister-in-law, Abigail, sent me this book that we saw at a craft store during my trip to CA. I promised to make her an apron in the near future. No doubt, I'll be making one for myself, too! They are so cute.

Stay tuned for more on my birthday week...
