Deadline is midnight Saturday (I believe that is also Christmas!)

Here's some gifts that meant a lot to me:

My son Michael shelled out the big bucks and bought me a bracelet with diamond hearts. When a teenager parts with that kind of dough, it's pretty touching.

My son Casey bought me two bunches of lovely wooden tulips last Mother's Day. I especiallytreasure them because I get so sad when real flowers die. I asked him why he bought two bouquets. He answered, "Because one wasn't enough for you."

My boyfriend bought me a purple Dell computer two Christmases ago.  If you know me, you know why this was so appropriate. I am the purple queen. lol.

Anna Pett - who runs the Facebook group "Peace, Love, Teen Fiction," made me a pair of earrings with the cover of The Girl Next Door on them. She used Scrabble tiles with "S" & "C" - my initials!!!

Your turn!

  2. Recently, my 9-year-old daughter wrapped a gift for me for Christmas. I wasn't allowed to see it, but when she put it under the tree, I caught a glimpse of it by accident; it was poking out from thr gift bag. It was something of hers, a dolphin statue that she loves. :)

    *Just a side note-- the other day, she got some cash for Christmas and her birthday, and insisted on taking that cash to school (40 bucks!) for the Christmas fair. With it she bought gifts for everyone in the family. Hmm, maybe one of the most precious and meaningful gifts i ever received is just -- her!! :-)
