I want to share something that Mr. DIY did that was so sweet, thoughtful, creative. and awesome! I love that my husband understands my passion for design, decorating and DIY.
This pretty box was all wrapped up (future use = tool box!):
Inside were these 3 inspirational books! (See Ki from FleaMarket Style on the cover of the first one?!)
Then, inside this one:
was this card. It looked like something that came with the book….
Here is the message closer:
Mr. DIY actually wrote the message, printed it on the envelope and attached it professional-looking with plastic velcro! What a surprise!
Inside was this touching card with a message that brought tears to my eyes
and inside that was $$$ to spend however I want! (Still undecided. Dining room chairs? Bedding? Laundry room makeover? Hmmm…)
As if that wasn’t special enough, 40 tulips…
And an almond cake with raspberry filling!
He’s a keeper! Thanks so much honey for making my birthday extra special. I didn’t want the day to end. I stayed up pouring over my books because I just couldn’t wait to open each one and look at all of the beautiful pictures. It’s going to be a gorgeous sunny week and I can’t wait to plan my next project and to go shopping!
What a sweetie! You're a lucky girl! Glad you enjoyed your birthday!
How sweet is that, Roeshel! I can't not read that post and leave without saying, "Awwwww!"; he's definitely a keeper!
You lucky girl you! It sounds like a perfect wonderful birthday! Does he have a brother? 😉
great gifts, but even better presentation! He is special, isn't he?
Glad you had such a wonderful birthday, can't wait to see all the creative projects you'll be inspired to make from those fabulous books!

Oh yes he is definitely a keeper, obviously he knows what you are obsessing about in life, haha. Great obsession I must add, know that from experience.
Have a very happy birthday and enjoy your sunny week. I wish I had a sunny one too, but mine is not even literally sunny, that is not even mentioning the figurative side…Oh well…But at least I can be happy for you, and that shows a little sunshine over here too, haha
