Happy Birthday Carissa Boo!!

Now in your old closet Todd built those shelves... and I just went and looked at my shelves that were identical. I think with the shelves they would hold 24 pairs. Although you probably have more now since you've had to buy cold weather type shoes. Hum.... I will guess 37 mostly black shoes!! So there you have it!!

I wish I could have sent you an R.J. Goodies cake!! With milk!!

noodle and lou said...

Happy Birthday!!!! If I knew how old you were I would guess that number for the shoes. I'm going with 34 because that is how many comments you have gotten before mine. Sweet new shoes by the way.....hope you had a great birthday and fun wearing your new shoes!

edie said...

Oh Carissa, First let me say "Happy Birthday" and I love your new clogs!!! I wish I knew you better....are you the clean-your-closet-every-three months kind of a girl...and send all the extras to Goodwill. Or are you like me and would immediately panic if asked to find and count all your shoes??? I don't know but I'm gonna guess you're more like me....

I say 47.
