Wednesday's wrap! the month of May and a care package for Jay!

May is a big month here on 34th street.

it starts off with a birthday that's "in sync" with Cinco de Mayo.

next, we celebrate another b-day on the 12th, (which just happened

to be Mother's Day this year.)   our anniversary is on the 18th, 

and the finale,

Jay's day, and three days off in a row!

:: ici ::

 it's a party or a picnic every weekend!

my sister in law, Carol and her husband Gary decided to

take an impromptu drive to Boise just in time for Jay's birthday.

 we sent a B I R T H D A Y  C A R E  P A C K A G E  with them!

he's the one with the cool shoes! ...very "façonnable"!

you all know that Jay is a SPORTS GUY! in fact...let me brag a little,

( i am his Mom!), he was very recently promoted to Sport's Director at KTVB!

"The Catch" May 26, 1995. R.I.P. Kingdome. Never forget.

Chrislyn and Jason's contribution to the package was two very cool 

Ken Griffey Jr. retro t-shirts that they found at Nordstrom, 

and...

she loves her little brother!

...some precious pics of his niece and nephew.

sweet little dreamer!

you may have guessed that Jay's fave baseball player ever is Ken Griffey Jr. 

i could write a book about the joy and inspiration"The Kid" brought to 

our house. when Jay was 9 years old he read over 50 books in the 

Summer reading program for a chance to meet his baseball home run hero! 

 Mr D and i most likely purchased his last Griffey t-shirt when he was twelve, 

so this was a sweet gesture from his sister and Jason.

( i will let you in on a little secret, Jason bought a t-shirt too!)  

if you were a child that grew up in the Pacific Northwest in the late 

80's and early 90's and loved baseball, you undoubtedly loved 

2 "The Kid!" 4

without saying anything other than,

"we are sending a C A R E  P A C K A G E to Jay via Aunt Carol

and Gary", it's amazing how bit of a theme evolved!

last month, Antique Farm House featured the metal distressed

numbers above.  i thought that they would look awesome in Jay's

bedroom and ordered a two and a four. they are about 13 inches

tall, substantial and a bit heavy...i am so thankful that we didn't 

have to mail them! thank you Aunt Carol and Gary!

 here's the wrap!

i decided i would try my hand at the little fork pom poms that i have been seeing

all over Blogville!  i used baker's twine!

i smushed them onto a gift tag!

the next gift to go into box was two very cool drapery panels from Hobby Lobby.

 ( have i mentioned how i love that store?)

they were 50% off on a grand opening special! 

perfect, for Jay's bedroom redo!

a little more of a challenge to wrap...

...but it turned out nice!

i tossed in a few keepsakes from his baseball years!

Mr D parted with a selection from the Spring release.



the package was wrapped, loaded, and ready to be

sealed...

...withLove!

(i hope that your week is running on time. with the holiday, i am still a day
behind! see ya Friday!)
