I just got home from town. We hit the post office and I picked up my birthday week package from Karen...
can I tell you how hard it is to root through this box and search for the one marked "day 1" and not peek at the rest! Man, I do NOT have that kind of discipline, but at the risk of being 'docked' next year for not following the make-them-up-as-you-go rules, I thought I better not peek.
Good thing Karen included her very decorative disclaimer on this package...
What a treat! I love a good cup of tea and these look like they're gonna be a lovely (temporary) replacement for those evening glasses of wine...
and really what good is new fancy loose leaf organic tea without a new fancy Starbucks mug. Gee, Karen, I think we're starting a birthday-mug tradition. I guess I can retire my pink gerbera one from a few years back...
How fun! I love birthday week. These little treasures are so delightful to unwrap (even if they aren't shoes) and I swear, every week should be birthday week!! Thanks so much Karen. I'm sipping my new tea as I write this

It is deliciously fun to read this and know that each day it will give you a smile. I think it will be as much fun as it was to put the box together.
Yes, the mug was meant to be the beginning of a b-day tradition.
That is so much fun, yep, definately gonna have to try this for my b-day. :) Love that mug.
love the tradition too. Me and Monica are gonna start it for each other. Just gonna be a bit late this year
Happy Birthday Vanessa, can't wait to see what else is in there!
Wow, aren't you the lucky one lol. Even if they aren't shoes. Nothing wrong with a new pair of shoes every now and then! I'm thinking instead of birthday week I should go for "a present for every year I celebrate." That way with every birthday I will look more and more forward to aging ;o) and less and less happy about what box I have to check for my age bracket. Stupid little boxes.
Happy Birthday!!
Hi Vanessa,can't wait to see what you get each day. I wanted to make sure that you got my e-mail.
I totally love the idea of birthday week...my sister and I usually do something fun for each other on our birthday's but I am really liking the whole birthday week idea...so I am thinking of suggesting to her that we combine our tradition with the this new idea and come up with a new concept. Which always ends with either a family dinner or going out to a new restaurant that we haven't been to. This year it will be in New York and we are heading off to Gordon Ramseys's lead restaurant.
Happy Birthday Vanessa! Love the mug!
