I’d mentioned before that the girls were hanging out to celebrate my birthday with me
And they did not disappoint
I came home to flowers
Balloons
Chocolate cake
And my favourite?
The homemade gifts
Diamond takes then to a pottery place not far from our house
And they pick a piece of pottery, paint it
And pick it up a week or so later
I can’t get enough of the stuff they make for me there
They’ve tried buying me all sorts of other presents over the years
Clothes
Returned them
Shoes
Returned them
Handbags, jewelry, perfume
Returned it, returned it, returned it
I’m the first to admit and Diamond always tells me that I’m a fucking nightmare not the easiest person to buy for
But the homemade stuff?
I love it all
And I’m starting to get quite the collection
I’m going to end up being one of those old ladies surrounded by cats that has a cabinet in the corner full of all these homemade gifts
I don’t like ornaments
I don’t like cutesy, cluttered houses
But if my girls made it for me?
I’ll keep it
It’ll be great stuff to keep for when they’re teenagers and hate my guts and we use them as missiles too cool to make their mum stuff anymore
It’d be the first thing I’d take with me if the house was on fire
After I’d picked it all up gently and wrapped it bubble wrap, so it didn’t break
Time permitting
Then I’d run
After I’d gotten the girls out of course
And Fluffy
Oh yeah, Diamond too
But isn’t he supposed to carry my arse out rescue me?
Anyhoo
I had a great birthday
The end.
Gifts made with LOVE are Priceless! They are all beautiful…You’re one Lucky Mother…and your Hubster is truly a GEM! 🙂 HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY in one year!!! CJxxx
