Jenny, i'm not making any offenses on my nick name for you, but you really do make FABULOUS calenders!! ;D anywho, she sent me this bunch of goodies for my bday with that CUTE CUTE CUTE monkey card!! i forgot to take a pix of the inside which was creatively done, but please check out her blog for a peek! Thank you Jenny for the surprise of goodies, so SWEET of you!! my dear friend, Joy U. sent these great yummies for my bday... LOVE the CC Designs stamp (i have to put that on my list to use, hehe) along with the pretty paper pack and BEAUTIFUL bday card!! Love the sweet Belles 'n Whistles image and the hanging charm on the card!! Joy was one of the first girls i've actually got to meet in person after starting my blog and since then the friendship keeps going strong! Thank you Joy and Taelyn for the yummy yummies!!! next up is from my partner in crime, Kim Y.... hehe, jus' kidding Kim! but she is my partner in crime, with our Lollipop Crafts Challenge blog... she sent this bday gift filled with fabulous things... beautiful flowers, leaves, rhinestones, ribbon and that ADORABLE card!!! i just LOVE the monochromatic colors!! Thank you bunches Kim, i can't wait to use these goodies! 1LuvnMama out did herself with this AMAZING bday card! my fave color(s)... the earth tone with the blue is just, WOW! i love the border edges she used and the way she popped the flowers... with this card came these awesome supplies!! oh oh oh, can't wait to use them... Thank you Mama, for thinking of me and sending a fantastic bday gift!! i actually got to meet Mama in person too... she was one of a few wonderful friends that came to visit me and the lil' man in our battle of survival... Thanks for that too Mama!! Karen sent this RAK to me for a March swap.... new papers to play with and these AWESOME hanafuda magetic pin holders... the holders are great for me to pin up important notes to my filing cabinet... and she made this WONDERFUL card... ugh, the pix didn't really capture the embossing, but she used a embossing folder from SU! and added rhinestones to the middles... simple and very elegant... Thank you so much Karen for all of the goodies!! (i did order that embossing folder, hehe).... and this bunch of sweetness is from a local sister in heart, Colleen! the card on the right along with the sweet treats in the middle was a RAK for Vday... and the card on the left that i ADORE (yes, because of the monkeys) is my bday card... wondeful, wonderful gifts... oh, i don't have a pix but she sent me my bday present waaaaaaay before my bday.... and that was a HUGE surprise... Thank you my dear Colleen for my CINCH!!! i'm loving it, even though i haven't used it much i am planning to for mother's day gifts!!

i am very fortunate to have ALL of these ladies in my life... their surprises, friendship, love and endless support holds a place in my heart... they all play important parts of who i am as a crafter, as a person, as a mother and as a friend... THANK YOU ALL OF YOU!!! Please check out their blogs and give them some LOVE... their creations are FANTASTIC and will never disappoint you... hey, you just might learn something from them.... =D
