A Gift & My Camera Update & Happy Birthday Jacque!!

I participated in Pay It Forward by signing up for it at Pea's Corner many months ago. I had actually forgotten all about it after I sent along my 3 Pay It Forward gifts. Then last week in the mail I got this:



A lovely refrigerator magnet Teapot made by Pea her self. Isn't it just adorable. It even has a tea bag in it!!! The tag on it reads:


The Christmas Teapot - On Christmas Day at half past three, Brew yourself a cup of tea, And I'll think of you, While you think of me, Sitting beside the Christmas tree.


Pea, you can be sure that I will be drinking my cup of tea at half past three on Christmas day. Thanks so much and what fun!!!!

Well, guess what????? My co-worker at the Klothes Kloset ministry at church on Tuesday's found my old camera!!! It was in the storage room. We had been working in there for about 4 hours last Tuesday. Thelma needed to find a small piece of paper and while she was looking for that.....low and behold here was my camera.


At first I thought I'd just return the new one I'd just purchased but........I just love my new one. Mickey wanted me to keep it so I made him PROMISE that this new camera would be my Birthday & Christmas gift this year. After some arm twisting he finally agreed and I could not be more pleased. I told him I'd give it back so he could wrap it up and put it under the tree!!!!


My blog friend, Chrystal, suggested that I could take a picture of it by using a mirror. Now I would never have thought about that. Thanks Chrystal!!!



So here's my new little camera and me!!! Get a load of the manicured nails from Saturday's birthday celebration. By the way, the shirt says "Jingle" and has a bell on it. A gift to all the girls from Suzette. She was wearing her's in the picture's at the salon & cafe.


Just sharing fun stuff from the blogging world we all participate in and enjoy.

************************

Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR DAUGHTER, JACQUE. As you know we celebrated all our birthdays on the 12th but today is her OFFICIAL day. Here's Jacque being greeted by her 1 year old sister, Suzette.


As a teenager.
WE LOVE YOU JACQUE!!!!!!
