fill-in-the-blank friday

{one} giving is...my favorite.  I love picking out the perfect gifts for everyone on my list.

{two} receiving is...fun, too.  especially when you know the other person has put a lot of thought into the gift.

{three} the best gift I ever received was...ugh...no idea.  the most unique: my grandmother had some of my great aunt's autographed black & white photos of old Hollywood stars enlarged & framed for me a few years ago.

{four} the best gift I ever gave was...I made a lapboard for my cousin a few years ago with TONS of pictures of us from the time we were born until that year.  I don't know if she loved it as much as I did, but I was real excited about it.

{five} something intangible that I wish I could receive is...a great voice.  you know...sort of an Ariel/Ursula transaction, except minus all the evil.

{six} something intangible that I wish I could give is...love...isn't that what we're really trying to do with tangible gifts anyway?...show people how much we love them?

{seven} the one gift I always wanted as a child, but never got is...a pony...duh.  but let's be honest...I would not have really wanted a pony.
