WELL!
I had NO idea that my last post sounded SO gloomy!
I'm so sorry about that...I am sooooo NOT gloomy!
See? :))))
So, let's get this Birthday MONTH party started today!
I received THREE separate packages from my BFF in Pennsylvania, Sandy of Sew Revived. But of course we'll just open ONE today. Oh I just love making you squirm! haha
Many of you have commented on my willpower. Trust me, it's hard. But I love knowing that every morning I'll wake up and open a gift from a friend or loved one and that just makes my Birthday MONTH so special!!! So enough of the talk...let's open it up!

OH MY GOSH! Sandy! You shouldn't have! I just love it!!!!! Isn't this just the cutest pendant? It's layered so full of silver goodies and I just love the "Free Spirit"...that is so me! And, I had to chuckle when I saw the Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer...do they still make that anymore? ;)

Oh geez...I don't know which one I love the most! Look at all these beads! I love the mix of gemstones and glass...it's beautiful!
**In case you are wondering...I'm in shock at this moment!**

Awe...Sandy knows me so well. Although I love all kinds of jewelry, I still love the vintage and sweet stuff the most! Isn't this little one a doll????

All of the fashion experts are saying that the color purple is "in" this season...and I'm in L-O-V-E with this bracelet. How does she know me so well?

And this necklace...it is TOO SWEET! Oh I am totally in LOVE with all of these!!! It's amazing how a friend across the states can know me so well! Thank you soooo much Sandy...you shouldn't have! I love it all! Thank you Thank you Thank you!
So while you are drooling and all jealous, I'll just keep flipping through my new book she sent me...
HA HA HA!
I bet you thought she sent me all of those beautiful goodies huh? NOT!
Those are just a few of the beautiful creations inside this awesome BOOK she sent me!
I hope I had you fooled and you were so jealous of me!!!! hahaha That's payback for you thinking I was gloomy yesterday! ;)
How could I EVER be gloomy during the month of October??? Shame on you for thinking that!
I'm sure June was really thinking that I am bi-polar and Debbie was about to come down to add some purple to my buttocks! I can't have that happen!! It's my Birthday MONTH! :)))
See...I am still my same old silly self (just 11 days older)

And, I was able to make it to the Antique Fair in Washington, LA yesterday. I got a little wet and muddy but it was worth it.
NOTE for the record: The weather was gloomy, but I was NOT!
(geez, I'll never let ya'll live that one down!)
I picked up a few items and took a few photos. I hope to post about it soon. (In between all of the presents I still have to open!)

Girl, you are the funniest! You had me going there with the jewelry! I can't imagine you ever being gloomy-you have too much joy in your soul! Anyway, I loved your last post and found it inspirational (I'm still trying to figure out where I can put an 'autumn tree' in the house:). I can't wait to see what you open tomorrow!
Birthday Blessings,
Kim
Jodie...you so had me going there. I thought, oh my, I need a friend Like Sandy...I wonder if I could steal her away from Jodie? So I started plotting it all out...and then I read the rest of your post.
What a gorgeous book! You are such a blessed Birthday girl!!!
Hugs,
June
I know your as sane as I am.HeHe
Ok, you got me. I was jealous as all git out. How could Sandi from up North send you all these wonderful pieces of jewelry. I was starting to think maybe you were going to have to share. And then you got me. You little devil you. Love the book already. OK, so now I'm jealous you have the book. My! My!
By the way, you are back in the groove. Hey!!!! Happy Birthday.
Sandi

Geeeez, you had me on the first picture! I was thinkin' did I not understand the Blogging rules...When someone is celebrating a birthday did I goof by not sending my gift? I need to get me some friend like Sandy who send you 5 gifts Plus a great book!
Ya got me , girl! So glad you perked it (the blog) up! Happy Birthday BTW!!
My Best

Wow what gorgeous gifts! I am totally in love with that necklace...is it a light lavendar as it appears on my screen or is it actually white? Beautiful!!
Laura
You are such a hoot! After the first couple of pictures, I'm thinking, man that Sandy went all out for you! HA! The book is more than enough to spark your imagination -- that I can tell by all the gorgeous photos! Happy Day 11 and many more! I can't wait to see what else is in store. Peace & blessings, Tammy

You are too funny! You got me! ;o) Hey, I joined the "Doors of Welcome" I didn't see you on that list????? I'm starting off small tomorrow with a week of celebrating! I'll be in Boston on the 17th for mine! Hugz, Z
Hi Jodie,
Your really made me laugh today!
.... you are always so bright and funny.
That looks like a great jewelery book you were given and what inspiring pieces you will be able to make yourself.
sorry I missed out on a few days, while I was away but glad to be back to celebrate with the Birthday Girl! Prayers for your Dad, I have been thinking of your family a lot.
Hugs
