Happy Birthday!

Today's my sister's birthday and lucky me, it's mine, too!  You know, since we are twins and all.  She's older, though, just in case you are keeping track, four whole minutes.

My sister means the world to me, and I'll save the mushy stuff for her birthday card, but I will share that I am so, so, SO excited we'll be living only four hours away!  This is the closest we've lived since 2000!  And now that she has the cutest baby girl ever, I'll get to see my niece a lot more often, too.

My sister had inspired me to be and do a lot of things and here's one of her ideas that anyone can do:  keep a notebook in your bag to write stuff down.  It's not really a journal, just more of a list/idea/planning book.  Mine has all kind of random things in it.  It's the place I can rid my brain of those mental things that bog me down.  I save the books when I'm finished, because years from now it will be fun to see  how I planned C's birthday party, the measurements of that skirt I made, or what my Ikea shopping list was.

So, in honor of my twin sister's birthday, I decorated one for her.

Happy Birthday, Sis!

  1. What a beautiful and thoughtful gift. I'm a long-time user of the notebook in bag. I sometimes worry if I ever lost it it would look like the ramblings of a mad woman to whoever found it!
    LOVE hearing about the relationship your sister and you have. I so hope my girls (not twins but sisters nonetheless) might have something similar.
