Birthday Shout Out!

Happy Birthday to one of the most creative gals I know! I am loving your designs! You are really inspiring me to get off my butt and get back to stitching. Thank you for your friendship and support...it means the world!

I wish you a very lovely birthday, full of sunshine, good people
and hopefully some cake!!

Love,
Niki


P.S. If you haven't already, you should really check out her darling vinyl creations as well as her kick ass iPod and camera cases. As soon as Lent is over, I'm getting this one!

Caution: Massive Cuteness Ahead

Spent a lovely afternoon yesterday with my sister, Amy, and my nephew, William. He's nearly 4-months-old and is getting cuter and chubbier by the day.

OMG, Cute!


Oh boy...the pouty face. I hear ya, bud. Sometimes the world just isn't right.



But then mommy kisses your toes and all is well once more!


*sigh* If only life could stay this simple. Although no one has kissed my toes in a while. Maybe I should give it a try, see if it helps. This could be the hidden answer. Quick, somebody write the President!

Pay It Forward

This is how it works..... The first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive a hand made gift from me during this year. When and what will be a surprise. BUT, in order for you to leave a comment on my blog, you have to post this on your blog first (if you don't have a blog, your myspace or facebook works too). That means that sometime during this year you will send a gift to 3 people as well. Get it? Let's spread some happy!

I was lucky enough to be one of the first three commenters on my friend Angie's blog. Along with her kindness, thoughtfulness and brilliant sense of humor, Angie is also super creative. She makes some fabulous bead creations. Just look what I received from her as my Pay It Forward handmade gift:


Wow! I absolutely love it! The color combination is so bright and uplifting. The silver beads say "harmony" and "balance", two things I am currently focusing on improving in my life. And now I have a beautiful reminder to wear every day, not only of my intentions, but also of my friend!

Thank you again, Angie!
