My Crafty Doctor Who Birthday!

There are only 8 minutes left of my 34th birthday, and I want to write this blog post while this amazing day is still fresh in my mind :) While of course we devote a lot of time to crafting for our business, we craft for each other, and our friends as well, and my birthday was no exception! My friends' put their VAST creativity to great use, and made the most outstanding birthday surprises EVER!
My very own Tardis!

Never in my life have I had such an amazing birthday, felt so special, or been made to feel so much love, as I have on this day! It started the minute I opened my eyes this morning and found a note that said I wasn't to do ANYTHING but let my best friends know I was awake! I knew then and there it was going to be a surprising day!

If I were to write down every single fantastic surprise that I had today, you'd be reading this until my NEXT birthday, because that's how jam packed full of fun the whole day was! I had to shoot Daleks off my stairs with a nerf gun, "moisturize Cassandra" in sugar cookie form (Doctor Who fans will understand this LOL), I got my very own Tardis (which my cats are in love with!), as well as several Sonic Screwdrivers to choose from (that were even usable ink pens), and so much more!
Daleks! They had to be shot off my stairs with a Nerf Gun!

I was treated to breakfast at a restaurant I hadn't been to since I was a kid, and while I was eating, all of a sudden my students starting showing up one by one, each bringing me a flower and wishing me happy birthday! It was the sweetest thing ever, and was the perfect start of the day <3

At Starbucks my drink was delivered with 34 straws (thanks Leeanna!), and was in a crocheted Tardis coffee sleeve (created by Sarah and Rachel at Busy Bee Stitchery, of course)! The Doctor Who stuff was just too awesome for a Whovian like myself!

We went shopping, and every store we went to I was given a gift by one of the workers, who'd been let in on the secret earlier by my friends. They loved being a part of it! Throughout the day I worked on a list of 34 dares and 34 crazy Youtube videos I need to complete while I'm 34, so if you're interested in watching THAT craziness, you can check out the ones we did today at the Youtube channel "34 to Life".


I even got 34 presents, which was amazing! It's hard to say what my favorite was (aside from the Doctor Who ones, of course!) I mean, how can you compare Archie socks with a scented Justin Beiber dog tag, or a Turkey tester that gobbles with a Chickens? magazine?? You can't. All 34 were amazing LOL.

All of the Doctor Who stuff in these pictures were CRAFTED by my best friends. That is so amazing! I'm so lucky to get to work with these girls, their talent is mind blowing to me!

Thank you Sarah and Rachel, for giving me a birthday I'll remember forever and ever, and for spending so much time making these AMAZING gifts that will always be at the very top of my "Favorite Gifts EVER!!!" list!  This day meant the world to me!
