This it what I replied to it...

"OH MY TEARS, Beautiful Belle! =) I am DYING!!! This is THE MOST special & YOU....THE MOST BEAUTIFUL...in ALL the land! To say that I love you is an understatement & to say I'm so happy we're friends...is the very same. From my PERFECT "box of love" that I just opened & you KNOW I adore (EVERY little detail...heaven)...to this most beautiful, touching tribute...I REALLY DO feel like a Princess & I appreciate you SO SO much! I have to run out the door now, for my birthday "surprise", but I took pictures of everything & will post all about it...when I get home! =) Again...from the VERY BOTTOM OF MY HEART...I love you...and I thank you. Have a beautiful day, my FAVORITE Belle. XO"

This is how you KNOW it is AMAZING!!!
♥ you so so much & I shared this with B & my Parents & of course...they all loved it!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I will print this out & cherish it...always.



2. My Own Private Birthday Website, created with love from my Beautiful Bestest in Colorado, Tammi! 



"A place where wishes are wished & tears are created."

But...I gotta be honest...I loved every second of it! 

If any of you wish to leave a message...I will be saving this...forever. 

Tam...this is one of the sweetest, most thoughtful, had no idea it even existed, tug at my heartstrings...perfect in every way...lifetime gifts. I can't express how much this means to me & how much YOU mean to me! I love you with every beat of my heart, and I thank you...for one of the greatest gifts...I've ever received. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.



3. "Boxes of Love"

From my beautiful Sister, to beautiful Heather...I felt oh so loved! Everything, in every way...was perfectly me, and I couldn't love all my goodies, or my girls...more! 

From my Sister...with Love.
The bag's a little smashed because it was mailed...in a box.
The most beautiful card, a YUM-ME smelling candle, an adorable black shirt, the cutest note pads for my craft room table, & some candy! She's the best & I love her so so much, and...I love everything she got me! Thank you so much, Sissy! XO











And from Heather...with Love.
First of all...you have to notice the little ducky & candy stickers!!! So me & So VKKD!
 Absolutely Adorable!


Look at this oh so cute teal bow she made! So cute! Love the entire packaging!





The sweetest, cutest card.



OMG...fun, fun, & more fun!



The most adorable ducky soap! Love it!



She even wrapped a little candle like candy! Too cute! 



And this to die Betsy Johnson make up bag! Full of sparkles, teal leopard, and the most amazing goodies from Lush. LOVE me some lush! And the cutest gold, full of glitter soap, that she said her little Angel Avery picked out for me! How insanely sweet is that! I haven't met her yet, but am so looking forward to it! So so cute! So...if you're reading Avery...thank you...from the bottom of my heart! I love love love it!

Oh How Pinteresting..."Hanging From The..."



It's Wednesday, Dolls! Time to start pinning!!! If you've never heard of PINTEREST, click on my "peppermint" link, on the right side of my page, that reads, "PIN ME". It'll all make sense. It's just a place to store everything you love. Kinda like a virtual collage. Or many virtual collage boards. A lot of fun! So...every Wednesday we all team up with the beautiful Michelle from THE VINTAGE APPLE , and "pin" our favorites from our boards each week! This week I'm dedicating my post...and my pins...to my  love  obsession for Chandeliers.



































Stop by & show Michelle some love! She's awesome, and she's getting MARRIED in 9 days! YEAY! 
SO SO happy for her! 



Also...I'd LOVE for you to join me on Friday for my "Friday Favorites" Link-Up! A day where you share all your favorites you're loving each week. You can read all about it here!


Hope to see you there! 
Thank you, Sweethearts!
Love & Hugs to all of you! 
XO



Love & Chandelier Light,
