my birthday 5 yrs ago

The other day I came across these photos of me getting dressed on my birthday in 2007.

If you look at my bed, you can see, I was trying to decide what I was going to wear, before work.
I used the crumbled plastic shopping bags to stuff my boots,
 when I didn't wear them. They help hold their shape.

My guy and I hand stencil painted the border
on the bedroom walls.

In my old house, my closet was so small.
 I covered the floor with my shoes,
but my shoes and boots didn't all fit inside it.

I wonder if I knew my husband
was taking my photo? 
I honestly didn't remember these photos.

My mom made my bed spread, the afghan, the square pillow, the blue quilt, and my purple purse.

My friend made the jewelry box,
that my bracelets are stored in.
My brother gave me the white fringed lamp.

Here I'm trying to decide what bracelets to wear.

My bedroom was my favorite room in our old house.

This is me in front of my closet of scarves, and trying to decide what coat to wear.
I painted the teddy bear with the pumpkin on the wall.

   That white framed picture near me with the blue ribbon was given to me by my great grandma Opal. 
It hung on my childhood bedroom wall. It was of a girl reading a book in a meadow. She had handwritten my name and the date inside the painting of the book. 

Here I'm trying to get the silly string
that my husband got all over me.

He was paying me back from getting him on his birthday.

Books on left I had checked out at library.
Books on right are the books I got for my birthday.
