When I got home from work today, I opened the door to find a box tucked inside ... and inside the box was this amazingly wrapped birthday present.
I am always in awe of people who have the skill of wrapping gifts... because I do not ... I'm lucky if my gift is delivered in a gift bag that's actually appropriate for the occasion (evidence ... yesterday I gave my four year old great-nephew his birthday present in a Christmas gift bag I got on clearance last year ... in my defense, it was covered in snowflakes and not specifically "Christmas" ... but I think you get the picture).
On the front was this super-cool card featuring clouds, a jeweled buckle, ledger paper, and a pretty little bird.
And inside (wrapped in a very cool map) was this fantastic, inspirational book. I can't wait to relish every single page.
Thanks Lauren for thinking of me ... can't wait to go on an art journal journey with you.
ooooohhhh....excellent!! I was wondering if it was a Lauren original:)
Happy Birthday!!!!!
