These are a few of my favorite things

One week later, as promised, the goodies around the house!

1. Pre-BBQ: I wanted balloons...so I blew 7 of them myself 

2. Commencement Balloon: the one that got away that came back

3. Post-BBQ: I mentioned how much I wanted balloons, right?

You know who you are, thanks to the thousandth degree for these lovely cards !

Note: These were the ones within distance when I did my little goody-photoshoot, call it laziness. I also got an amazingly thoughtful "goodie" bag from an old high school friend, in honor of our good old days. Unfortunately, I scarfed it down within the hour of receiving it, but I can give you an idea of what it resembled (thanks to Google Image) :

My reaction ? :')
