scarfament

first of all i love swaps.
aren't they fun.

obviously 
i had to join danielle's 
scarfament swap

my partner was natalie from house with the yellow door

here's what i got

*please excuse my ugliness i have had tonsillitis and laryngitis all week.
i have the worlds worst tonsils
and they (the specialist) won't remove them because apparently i'm too old
and at this point the surgery will do me more harm than good. (r o)
for a child it would be easy breezy.
pfft!*

so here i am in my scarf. i love it and have always wanted an infinity scarf
now i have one.
 holla!!!
it's kept my neck nice and cozy all week

when i saw the ornaments.
{yes i said ornaments not one but three. actually eight. the snowflakes came in a pack of five}
i about peed myself with excitement.
i buy myself a new bird every year and write the year on the bottom.
this year i didn't have to because my partner got one for me.
how.did.she.know?
notice the snowflakes and bird house
amazing right.

here are a few of my birds.
i love them because my grandma had these really cool vintage glass ones on her tree.
when my grandma went to be with Jesus they asked me what i wanted from here house. all i really wanted was the bird ornaments. when my cousin found them they were smashed. i was broken hearted.
so i decided to do the next best thing and start a collection of my own.
someday i will order some cool vintage ones. i have seen similar ones on ebay, but i can't quite find exactly what she had. until then i have these.

You look great. I would not know that you are sick. I hope you are feeling better SOON. Bummer on the surgery. It would be a perfect excuse to enjoy unlimited ice cream.
