Color me sparkly.
Sparkle.
I’m not a very sparkly person.
Persons who sparkle have energy. They have light down on the inside. That bursts forth.
Every now and then I might glow as a weak florescent lamp in the bathroom of some school room that hasn’t been remodeled since the 1970s.
But I went to a party tonight were I was to bring something sparkly and go home with something sparkly.
We were all sparkly.
I sat next to my daughter Kelly who I sat next to last year.
And my other daughters . . .
No they aren’t my daughters. But why am I always the only one at these things wearing cheater glasses?
And no I didn’t say Depends, either.
We had to draw out these clues to see who we would switch our unopened gift with.
And I ended up with a bunch of different packages.
This was traded to:
To get this.
Which was traded to this.
I got a cute little red clutch purse, that I can’t show you because the picture didn’t come out.
Here is Monica opening her gift.
And here’s Erin who gets us all together every year. Young and the old. Or well, the old one.
That is the great thing about having younger children. Younger mom friends are usually included in the package.
Young and sparkly ones.
Linking up with Greta @Gfunkied and Julie @Mamamash for another Wednesday’s iPPP.
Do you sparkle or no?
That looks like so much fun! I do like to sparkle, although I have been sparkling less lately. It takes energy to sparkle that I just don’t have.
It does take energy for me to sparkle. I used to worry about it when I was younger — now, not so much.
Seems to me like you have enough sparkle 😉
And your daughter? Gorgeous (just like her mom!)
I always enjoy looking at your pictures very much.
You’re sweet Kerstin. And yes — my friend Kelly is gorgeous.
HA that is a cute post and although you don’t think you sparkle I am positive you do…at least on this blog you do! But upgrade that camera phone! haha
I don’t know. I don’t think I sparkle. I think I have an annoyingly incessant halogen glow that never stops until it burns out. I have to because the boys demand it. Glad you had a fun party- and at the holidays everyone is sparkly!
Ha Kerry. If you could see how shattered the front of my phone is. I need to start convincing Santa, what I good girl I’ve been and maybe get a new one. Or at least take the time to drive to Athens and get it fixed.
I know Farrah — I need to find my sparkly attitude. If I ever had such a thing.
I love the picture of you and your daughter – this does look like fun, but I’ll admit…I’m not a sparkler 🙂
You and your daughter are gorgeous.
We had a party somewhat like that and I ended up with the gag gift which was a garbage can full of used toilet paper. Talk about buying stocks in hand sanitizer. Gross
hahah! I am on my 4th phone in 3 months! My hubs and Santa are done with me:)
I’m not really sparkling right now, but then, I’ve only had 1 1/2 cups of coffee.
Looks like a great evening. And I love that your daughter hangs out with you and your friends. She’s just lovely, by the way.
How fun!! I’ve always wanted to join in parties like that. Sadly people who actually live near me don’t want to visit me because we have a huge pet spider….or so they say. AND the majority of my really good friends live states away. We end up sending booze to each other. That’s about as sparkly as we get.
That looks so fun! I have my annual Christmas gift exchange with friend this weekend. I’m so excited!! 😉
That party sounds like fun. I think we all have a little sparkle somewhere. I am not loud and boisterous. I am an introvert who usually enjoys quiet conversation. I love to smile, though.
I totally sparkle. I love sparkle!
What a fun idea! And now I want to see that purse 🙂
What a fun party! I want to go! or I just want girl time, without kids! I have defiantly been sparkling less lately, just darn tired!
Oh, some things never lose their sparkle dear. 🙂
Oh, what FUN!!! And you and your daughter are just GORGEOUS – so jealous 🙂
