My parents surprised us, and bred our dog. I thought he was at the vets for a couple days. On Christmas day I noticed in my stocking a card that said my puppy would be born in January, and I'd get him in February. Ricky was the best present in the world. He was the best gift ever! :)Teal Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10320128780782863514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015467216981744703.post-9466746716008979992008-08-15T13:49:00.000-04:002008-08-15T13:49:00.000-04:00A friend gave us a sourdough starter ("the chef") ...A friend gave us a sourdough starter ("the chef") that was from the original one from San Francisco almost 200 years ago. (We're in Portland, Oregon.)<BR/><BR/>We work w/our hands every week (who needs a gym?) + behold the magic of "the chef's" work. <BR/><BR/>Each time we break away a piece of the bread from the two loaves, gift a loaf away, or give someone their own starter from ours, we are reminded that it's one of the best gifts of all: one that keeps on giving while nourishing the body, heart + soul.<BR/><BR/>And if anyone is interested in a quick, delightful read about a woman who leaves her life to start anew as a baker in Seattle, I highly recommend "Bread Alone" by Judith Hendricks. An unrelated gift from another friend after we provided them w/their own "chef".white^rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04608147749868091823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015467216981744703.post-31298278166594150832008-08-15T12:02:00.000-04:002008-08-15T12:02:00.000-04:00Oh I just did a post similar to this on my blog. ...Oh I just did a post similar to this on my blog. Sort of. I called mine show & tell, I featured a gift my mother made for my little girl then I wrote about a gift my Mother-in-law sent us.

Within the last year, I'd have to say my favorite was a stack of handmade cards my husband made (he's not crafty, but knew I would love it) for our anniversary. I will keep them forever ;)Krissy | Paper Schmaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00206511718442429461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015467216981744703.post-26219204334163046682008-08-15T09:49:00.000-04:002008-08-15T09:49:00.000-04:00most recently my surprise party that my husband or...most recently my surprise party that my husband organized.
