Two years ago, I received a Target gift certificate as part of my birthday present from my parents. A few days later I couldn't find it after tearing the house apart, and wrote it off as being lost forever. Last week, while sorting through boxes of photos, cards, and letters in an attempt to get organized and reclaim a closet, I found the gift certificate... two years later! I immediately called my mother to share my good news and she was just as excited as I was, but a little more hesitant with her excitement as she reminded me that it had probably expired. Turns out, Target gift certificates don't expire! A running joke between my mother and I is that I always call her with my exciting (but otherwise boring to everyone else) news, because she's the only one who will 'get it' and be excited with me. Naturally, I had to call her yet again when I found out there was no expiration date. And, again, as I was shopping!
I bought the photo organizer I'd been wanting. I also treated myself to a new book by Memory Makers, Show It Off!: Scrapbook Pages And Projects To Display.
Happy (Extremely Belated) Birthday to Me!
