Early Happy Birthday to me

If you born near Christmas, you'll understand how I feel about gift receiving. As an adult I took matters into my own hands and buy myself a gift whenever I find it for myself for my Birthday. Sounds selfish but after years of cry me a river, double gift combo Christmas/ Birthday I decided to put on my big girls pants and make it special.

Everytime I do, I say out loud when buying it, "Happy Birthday to me". I have even got discounts doing that. I keep it to one item under $100 per year. And in most cases I have been stalking that item for years.

I also had one of my Birthday party's in August one year. Yes my 50th in fact. Everyone was able to make it. There were no snow storms or people exhausted from partying or not wanting to party b4 New Years. I loved it!

So this year's gift from my hubby and myself is a Sterling Silver bracelet made by Birks. I found it in a lovely roadside Antique store in St-Remi d' Amherst.
