a kind gift & thank you

Since the last 6 months have been a little bit crazy, breaking my ankle and having to miss my trip to St. Lucia, getting pregnant and losing our baby @ 20 weeks, I have decided to get back to something I love.....rollerderby!

Now, yes I know, that's how I broke my ankle in the first place, but I must admit I am SUPER clumsy. And it really had nothing to do with derby except that it happened while I was at practice!!

Last week at practice, a few of the girls presented me with a little box. When I opened the box, there lay an adorable necklace with a sterling silver bean on it. Now to explain, when I told them I was pregnant, they asked how far along I was and how big the baby was. At that point the little one was the size of a kidney bean, so he was forever called "little bean".

It was such a sweet & thoughtful gesture! I had it engraved, and here's a picture.

Now it's hard to see, but it says "J.R. our little bean".

I absolutely love it.

Here is the card I made to thank them. :)

I was going to try to use our team colour, which is teal, but I couldn't find the right paper and yellow just went so much better with the star.

The sentiment and notes are Paper Smooches and the star is from a CTMH set.

Thanks so much for stopping by, have a wonderful day!
