Another Birthday Moment



Geeez, I'm sorry folks ... but I cannot NOT mention a gift I received today from one of my students. Just look at that photo and you'll see immediately why I had to share this news. The earrings are from Karli; she is a student and an English tutor. The earrings are actually paper! They're handmade Washi jewelry, which means:

"Washi is the Japanese word for the traditional papers made from the long inner fibres of three plants; wa meaning Japanese and shi meaning paper" (This information was on the box)

Aren't they lovely? I can hardly wait to wear them this weekend! GIIIIIIIIRLS WEEKEND only 2 days away!!!
