may is my month

Today was the last day of school. Summer is here! May is my favorite month of the year. It starts with nurses day, then mothers day, and ends with my birthday! I always loved having my birthday in May. The end of school always just sends a buzz in the air. Even at age 35 I get excited about school ending. I get my kids all to myself for two whole months. This year for the month of May, I started with designing a collage. On my collage, I put acceptable gifts for my three special days in May. On my collage I had a new toaster (ours only toasts one side at a time), a new ipod, (I washed one and lost one), and this most favorite new perfume called Daisy. I thought of the collage idea after getting several things that I don't really need. I thought I'd just narrow it down for Blake and the kids. Last year I got several trees. Now, giving a lady a tree is nice and all. But do we as women really get excited about a tree? My apologies if this is on my readers wish-lists. Trees are a needed item. They are a convenient way of getting what is a need, and classifying it as a want. This is not okay with me. Hence, the collage system. I must say, it worked great. I got the perfume, the ipod, and a bonus item, a camera. I also got the most beautiful japaneese maple tree!! Happy summer everybody!!
