Things That Make Me Smile

Thank you so very much for your well wishes. I can't tell you how much they mean to me. I had to have unexpected out patient surgery and am trying to get back in the swing of things now but may still be a little scarce over the next few days. I'm going to try the pre-post option that Blogger gives you - type a post ahead of time and then it posts when you tell it to. We'll see if that works!

I have to share some wonderful things that really made me smile today. The super sweet Natalea sent me a package full of brightness and fun! I've been feeling a little down and to go out to the mailbox today and find this definitely turned my frown upside down! Look at the super cute way she packaged this - all wrapped up in an adorable piece of flowered fabric with yummy pink velvet ribbon.

Inside was one of her mini books! I had told her I loved this one when she posted it and now it is my very own!


She takes such care in making these - she even has her own seal on the inside back cover.


This is the back of the book. Inside are mint green and pink pages - perfect to fill with inspiration, photos, quotes, drawings. I think I may fill it with quotes - that way it will be a wonderful cheerful and inspirational book through and through.


Natalea also included these fun treats including an adorable pink popsicle eraser that I accidentally obscured in this photo.

Thanks so much Natalea! Your kindness means more than you know.

Another sweet treat that makes me smile - these adorable cards from Beth. I purchased these to use in my birthday/special occasion boxes (I have a fun announcement about those coming up!) but the two cards in the middle are so darn cute - I don't know if I'll be able to deconstruct them at all - they may be making their way to may favorite untouchable pile.

I hope you have an enjoyable rest of the weekend!
