Pretty Pink and Incredibly Blessed

Sometimes a very stressful day can end up with a special moment to make everything just a bit easier to deal with. Yesterday I was beginning to feel terrible--thought at first that it was allergies but came to realize that it was more like a virus. Not good when you are trying to finish report cards and work with first graders who are done with learning and ready for summer vacation. All of these together were making the day very stressful so I checked my blogs looking for a bit of "sunshine" from my creative friends. That is where I found that I had won a giveaway on Sheri's blog. I simply could not believe it and I was so very excited. I absolutely love, love, love her triple irish chain baby quilt that she made for the moda bake shop. I was so excited that I had won it. In this state, I stopped to check my mailbox--and I found some more "sunshine." A while back Sheri did a post about "pay it forward" and said that everyone who commented on her post that day would receive a small "gift." Look what was in my mailbox today--from Sheri! (yes, the same Sheri with the triple irish chain quilt)...can you believe it?

She also made cards like this for the moda bake shop. What an absolutely creative woman she is! And she brightened my day in more than one way yesterday!
Are these cards just the most adorable!?!



Oh, did I mention that I LOVE PINK?!!

This one is so sweet....my initial graces the front.....what a lovely touch!

Now you are probably thinking what I am thinking--with all of that goodness in one day, I need to make sure I am doing some "pay it forward" in a big way. Hmmmmmmmm....I'm wondering and I have a few ideas simmering.....just in time for summer!

Yes, Sheri, I will PAY IT FORWARD!!!! Thanks for brightening my difficult day!
