Yes I know that the title has already used the Marina Ripa di Meana for a book ... but it's true: last week I turned 40! Yes I changed my area code ... and a woman is always an emotionally particular goal!
Forty years may be a good excuse to do budgets and projects, you realize that a good piece of road you have already done and you realize that time has passed, and this also watching your child grow, but in reality I feel like I was some time ago, in fact I'm still a girl, say a twenty years old (except for some ailments, neck pain, less elasticity hee hee ....) and so I prefer not to do budgets, I have never liked .... I like to live with emotions!
I like to think it through, with the heart, emotions, eventually the time I spent in this life I shall have lived still trying to understand and compare them with others, loving and looking for encouragement to go ahead without a second thought !
And speaking of excitement, last Saturday my men My friends and I organized a wonderful birthday party with lots of surprises, gifts, a song whose text "altered" was dedicated to me, they even made a wonderful video in which they have mounted mine, our family photos and of friends, all complete with background music: let me say that all this love I sincerely and deeply moved! THANK YOU, THANK YOU MY FRIENDS !
A great gift I have also done and Manu Anna who came to my party and I then had the great pleasure to celebrate with them too! Thanks to you my friends !
Now I'll show you some of Fotina night (fortunately there was Manu who took the photo ... although unfortunately Manu, Anna we have not even made a Fotina assiemeeee three of us!)
My friends gave me a parure a beautiful silver jewelry (you can see in the collage)! Instead surprise that I look at that face while I open the gift bag of her husband?? :-) :-)
you ever wonder what was inside? Simply amazing ... this 
is certainly not the "Ferrarini" by Simo .... but for me it's long, long since cucivo with a very old machine Sewing my grandmother's, 40's crank! course my friends "scrapbooking" did not attend empty handed!
:-) This is a collage of hand-made gifts and more, Manu
brought me over to the beautiful and original cards by hanging, a delicious bag of felt inside of which were contained a set of chipboard the robe and a wonderful mini-album in her bag ... I'll show you a few pages, the mini album, because it leaves the burden of showing honor to the author to complete this masterpiece (at the time ... but without a PC for a little ... I know that soon, very soon will be back among us!! ).
Manu titled the album "a friendship on the move and made it unique and special! Truly a gift that will warm your heart!
As if all this were not enough already, Manu also gave me the box with books collection of the "Shopaholic" by Sophie Kinsella!!;) Anna occurred at my house with a lovely card with a lot of dark-cake and two packets : One contained an issue of Marie Clarie Idées (exactly the December issue ... so much so that in the note he wrote that is a gift in advance to prepare for the next Christmas!;)) And the other two beautiful and useful bags door linen sewn by her journey as well as a beautiful brooch, felt, flower-shaped red (which is one of my favorite colors)!
Manu I also delivered gift ball here it 
A nice card-frame (actually a particular idea!) And a nice little mushroom felt! Thanks Paola! The card can admire also here in a previous blog post scrapbook!
