KUDOS to Diane for her willpower and dedication! You are an inspiration! Today is a very special day for her!
Unbeknownst to me at the time, I too made a lifestyle change nearly a year ago, due to health reasons. I lost a total of 70+ pounds, and look like a different person. I actually had to gain a little back to keep my pants on :D
Diane is a sweetheart, and through our 'conversations' found out when my birthday is. Yesterday, I received in the mail from her, this beautiful little handbag she made!
Her stitches are perfect, and isn't that button for a center detail on the flower just divine! I love it!
Look! She included her card!
My pictures really don't do this pretty bag justice!
Thank you for this special gift for OUR special day Diane! You are a wonderful friend, and I think I'll keep ya!
August 4th is Diane's 1 year health-o-versary, and my 46th birthday!
My daughter is here to spend the day with me! She wants to take me shopping :D
Until next time....
Love,
Del
Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday best girlfriend! OOoohhh...shopping! Sounds like fun! I wonder where you'll go...wish I was there! And you need to go back in your post and make some of your print LARGER....I know you didn't mean to make it teeny tiny like that! You have so much to celebrate today...with pats on the back, big hugs and some fun shopping! I forgot to tell you that the button is from a small supply of vintage buttons that were my Grandmother's. It makes the bag even more special...and perfect for YOU! Have a WONDERFUL day! Eat some CAKE so your clothes with fit better! ♥♥♥ Birthday HUGS coming your way!!! ♥♥♥
