birthday in a bottle 2

Today is my sister-in-law's birthday.

(How fantastic is it that we were friends

long before Ben and I were together!)

I thought she needed a little bit of birthday hullabaloo,

so I sent her some happy mail.

happy birthday balloon

bright pink nail polish

girly post-it notes (see the shoes?)

two pairs of earrings

tic tacs (because a cupcake would't mail well)

curly ribbon (not pictured above)

and a generous sprinkling of star confetti

I cut open a bottle, put all the goodies inside,

then finished the package with a sparkly pink paper band,

address labels, and tape.

Lots of tape.

Then I weighed it and stamped it

and stuck it in the mail.

Here's hoping it brings a smile to her face.
