Paul's birthday is this coming Saturday, so I re-instituted the celebration of birthday week! Every day (theoretically) in the mail he receives an envelope from me--they may have additional directions about how to access his "gift" for the day, or the envelope may contain it itself. Sunday's gift was the introductory letter kicking off birthday week with a bang, and it led him to a small box (formerly a ring box :) ) wrapped up in a special-to-us blue ribbon. Inside the lid it said, "Ways my fiance Paul Fernandez ROCKS my socks!" And in the box were 24 ('cause that's how old he's gonna be) yellow decorative gems (leftovers from our wedding decorations) where I had typed up tiny things that he does or has done that make me crazy about him, and adhered them to the bottom with scrapbooking clear tape. (P.S. Clear-ish marbles like that magnify what you type or write, so it looks all fancy and storebought!)
That was day #1. :)

Hey! (This is Kerstin...new blog name)...that rock idea is AWESOME! Do you mind if I steal it??
ReplyDeleteHa! Of course not. Any ideas I ever put out there are up for grabs. (I'm a teacher, sharing ideas is how we survive!) Besides, I'm sure someone somewhere thought of something like it before me. :)
