~ Show and Tell Friday~ What I got for my birthday ! ~

I went the whole day wondering if I was getting my present on my birthday or was my family going to give it to me at the family party ?  I was very pleasently surprised.  I went to my room to get ready for bed on Wednesday and there it was....

 

I started to cry.  I had asked if we could get me a full length mirror and I thought we would get a cheapy mirror you would put on the bedroom door.  I remember saying to my hubby that one of these was soooooo nice but I didn't think I would ever get one.  Well my Handsome surprised me !  And he was able to sneak it in without me seeing !!!!  I still don't know how he did that ??? And he won't tell me, lol.

I think I would like to stain it to match my dresser. I guess I better get on it before summer is gone.

 

 

We are having SHOW AND TELL today.  If you would like to join please....

post your S&T.

Some how link me so others know where to join if they want to.

Come and tell me so I can link you too.

And then visit and comment on others WONDERFUL S&T's

 

God Bless and have fun visiting these Sweet Sister's In Christ

Jul. 6, 2007 - What I got for my birthday

Posted by bakerswife
Hi Mary,
Your new birthday mirror is beautiful. So much better than one hanging on a door. I would like one too, but will probably settle for the hanging type.
Blessings to you and family,
Karen aka Jenn4him's mom

Oh, I knew your birthday was coming, and I was determined not to miss it. Well.....Happy Belated Birthday. (That's what happens when you pass the 40 mark.) Sounds like you had a great celebration, and your family has been having lots of fun this summer. How sweet that your husband surprised you with the mirror you had wanted!! How fun.

Handsome and I




First , I am a daughter of the King almighty and a a wife to my Handsome of 17 years. A mom of 4 on the go boys 15, 13, 9, and 7. I grew up in the states but married my Canadian sweetheart and moved up north. We live in the southern part of British Columbia , Canada on our homestead. We have homeschooled our four boys from birth and plan to go the distance till all four graduate from our homeschool. I teach with a Charlotte Mason style and use the Heart of Wisdom Approach. I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
