Hi peeps and friends in Blog-land! Today is my birthday! I can't believe I'm finally 30! Just kidding (totally kidding)... No card to post for today, just some thoughts. I get very nostalgic and sentimental around my birthday. I don't get like that on New Year's! To me, the start of a new year always feels like this season - Fall and my birthday. I usually take time to reflect on life and where I've been and what I've accomplished (or not) and where I want to go in the coming months. One of the great things about this past year is my blog! It has been the source of so much fun, creativity and positivity! Truly the highlight of 2010. Thanks for coming along for the ride with me!
Today I'm reflecting on how blessed and grateful I am. I've been receiving beautiful cards in the mail all week and feel very loved and appreciated. Isn't that one of the great things about being a crafty girl? Lots of homemade love coming my way. Last night the DH brought home a beautiful arrangement of red roses and a very thoughtful card. A couple of gal pals have already taken me out for pizza and drinks. I received the most amazing box of wonderfulness from The Netherlands from my sweet pen pal. And there's more fun to come later in the week. I am spoiled! I have such wonderful friends and just want to acknowledge that here. Really wonderful friends. The best! Thank you to everyone who makes me feel special. I can't possibly put it into words. Simply said - I AM BLESSED!
This is lovely, Wanda! Happy belated birthday! Your gratitude was SO well expressed, I swear I'm dabbing my own eyes and counting off some of my own points of celebration: you're such a sweetie! I apologize that it's taken me so long to get over here and give you some love - and NOW birthday wishes! How perfect! hee hee
P.S. I was near your neck of the woods in ELK GROVE when Mr. Tim Holtz stopped by {it was a BLAST!}... Do you ever get to Stamper's Corner? Seems like you have some mighty fine stores in Sac! Anyway, take care and keep cranking out your mighty fine card craft! Yipeee!
