One of the sweetest ladies in the world, my dear friend Chryssi, called me tonight to let me know she had mailed me an early birthday present and she ordered me to open it as soon as it arrived. Y'all know I don't like opening Christmas gifts early and my birthday is no different; however, this was an order, and she was kind enough to send me something in the first place so of course I'm going to do as she wishes. ;) Mikey just so happened to check the mail really late tonight, since we forgot to check it earlier, and my gift from Chryssi was in the stack! This is what my old roomie sent me:
The super sweet note that wrapped one of the gifts...
 |
"Never forget where you came from. A Texas girl at heart.
It's one of my favorite things about you!" |
And this is what was inside. :))))
2nd gift, wrapped in a lovely letter...
 |
| "Every girl should sparkle on her Birthday!" -- Agreed! |
glitter peter pan collar!!! I've seriously had this on my lovelist forEVER now!
This was the best ending to an already delightful Thursday. Thank you so much, Chryssi! You're my favorite crafty gal - always have been. Remember when you helped me make decorations for my squadron Christmas party in 2009? :) That was so much fun. I miss living with you. I miss your monkey bread. I miss Skyping each other when we were only a [bath]room apart! Ha! I miss our coloring book parties in our living room: Wizard of Oz on the tv, a crayon in one hand and a glass of wine in the other. We were so cool! Like little kids who can legally drink. :) Thank you for being so thoughtful. It's only one of my favorite things about YOU. <3
Friends, be sure to check out Chryssi's shop on Etsy. I'm sure you'll find something you like!
Welp, I better do my homework now that it's midnight.
Goodnight, dolls.
Love,
Roni
SO thoughtful, nothing beats friends like that.
ReplyDeleteNothing! :)))
DeleteSPARKLY PETER PAN COLLAR. That is pretty much the best thing I can think of! That is one excellent friend you have there :)
ReplyDeleteI knooooowww, I squealed when I opened both gifts, but I freaked out when I saw the ppc, because I was like, "how the heck did this bia know I currently have a picture of this saved on my computer under what I 'need'?!" I'm super in love with it. I can't wait to wear it with my glitter oxfords. And you should totally get yourself one; she sells them for the low low price of $8.50 on her etsy site. :)
DeleteThis is so sweet! And necklace plus the collar are a great present!
ReplyDeleteOh, they're terrific! She's a crafty gal, that Chryssi.
DeleteAww, what lovely gifts! <3
ReplyDeleteYes indeedy! Thank ya :D
Deleteawwww, roni-monster!!!! i woke up this morning to your list of text messages. :) I'm so glad your gifts reached you and that you like them!!! Funny story: I actually bought an individually wrapped oatmeal creme pie to put it the package as well..(remember how me and you could easily go through an ENTIRE box of those?!!)....however, I forgot to put it in there!! I thought about re-opening it and putting that lil snack in there...but then....I accidentally ate it! HAHAHA. but go get you one!! It is your b-day after all!!
ReplyDeleteHaha! You mean my LAUNDRY list of text messages?! I went cuhrazy on your phone last night. Between the gifts and my commentary on the videos you got me hooked on, I was totes stalker status over you!
DeleteOMG, I seriously thought about oat meal pies on my WHOLE drive to school today! I'm making Mikey pick me up a box (or two) ta-night! I need my fix, although they'd taste wayyy better with you here. Even though you "accidentally" (mmhm, yeah right) ate the one you were supposed to send me! hahahahahahahhahahahhaha Oh wellz, it would have probably arrived at mi casa squished como un pancake. <--Some Spanish for ya, since you're the whitest Mexican ever! LOL
I love you SO much. Thank you for an unforgettable birthday. I hung your sweet note on my closet wall, where I can see it everyday when I look in the mirror as I get ready. :)
Oh my gosh! Every detail is so perfect! I especially love the first.
ReplyDeleteOh, and these two items are So much prettier in person! They're perfect and the best bday gifts I didn't even have to ask for. :)
DeleteAwwwwwww those are really awesome gifts!!! I love the glitter peter pan collar..that would go perfectly with your glitter shoes!! :) I def wanna see your OOTD with that collar on..and that lovely necklace is so adorable too! She's quite talented..I checked out her etsy, soo cool!! So great to have GREAT friends :)
ReplyDeleteGirl, I KNOW! When I pulled the collar out I was like, "OMG when can I wear my glitter heels out?!?!?!" I'm definitely gonna wear this on my birthday, if I don't have a different outfit planned for that day. There's still plenty of time to set on a dress. If I don't wear the collar + shoes on my bday, I'll definitely be wearing them like every other day! haha Speaking of my birthday, I decided I just want a low key thing with my favorite Jersey folks. So, you're of course invited to celebrate with us at Clash on that Friday night, cause we leave town on Saturday and Sunday for a wedding. Please get off work and come!!! And wear one of your SUPER AMAZING pairs of JC's. That must be hard for you to pick and choose now since your whole collection is amazeballz. Oh, and thanks for checking her etsy site out, she's a big-hearted, wonderful person with a great talent. :)
DeleteHow sweet and thoughtful of her, those are great Bday prezzies. Handmade presents always mean the most. I am obsessed with peter pan collars and am really loving all that glitter!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I just wanted to let ya know I gave you an award on my blog today :] :] :]
Haha! Yess, I love your "prezzies" word. Might have to steal that. ;)
DeleteAnd I know, I used to love making my mom her Mother's Day and birthday gifts. I always felt like they brought her the most love and gratefulness.
Thanks for the award! I'll mosey on over to your lovely blog and take a gander! ♥
Awww! Very cute! But she's wayyy early, like two weeks! haha
ReplyDeleteTeehee, yeah she's two weeks early, but she insisted!! :D
DeleteThose are super thoughtful gifts. Awww! I love her as a friend for you.
