Yummy Treats...Check.

Heartfelt Cards...Check.
Sweet Surprises...Check.

Moments Spent With The One(s) You Love...Check.

What if you have all that...and so much more?

How do you possibly say Thank You?
Even though it's way past ♥ day now...I wanted to give these little Angels...proper credit & extreme love & gratitude!
This is how I spent mine...

Starting with this box of love from the beautiful, Susan from Ava Grace's Closet!

Are you freakin' kidding me me???

How glam & gorgeous is this?

I could not LOVE this purse more & your card...as sweet as it gets! 

I ♥ what you wrote & can't believe how well you know me...without ever meeting me! GREAT JOB, Sister! And my makeup...you know how much I love me some "Union Jack" & so cute of you to remember. I love the colors & I love the gloss! But most of all...I love that I have something to look at every day to think of you! There are no words. I am so so grateful & so so blessed to have you in my life...and in my heart. Until we meet one day in person...I will always live in your computer & I am always always here. 

I ♥ you, Beautiful!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Dolce thanks you too...for her new home!

 

And next from this beauty Jenna, who was the winner of my Christmas Giveaway (here) & will soon be Blogging here! (Stop by & show her some love! She'll be excited!)

Who sends me my own Giveaway in return?

This adorable girl does!

Jenna, Jenna Jenna...you have no idea how big my smile was & still is...and how surprised I was & appreciative I am!

Your card touched my heart & this box of goodies...I can't believe the sweetness/thoughtfulness!

From my personalized mug (I LOVE my name/initials on things),  to yummy smelling goods (Adore those things too), to my Headache kit. I think that one made my heart smile most. So so thoughtful & so so sweet. Cuffs are my favorite bracelets of all time, & this girl LOVES to bake...and eat! LOL. Love my yummy candies as well! The packaging, the cards, the love, the surprise...every single thing...touched my heart....far beyond measure. 

I will cherish you & all of my goodies...always. 

Thank you...with all of my heart.

So blessed to call your my Friend. 

Oh don't worry...there's more.

Next is from my beautiful friend from High School, Julie.

My very first Valentine of the day!

LOVE.

And inside...

The most adorable words & the most adorable little envelope & earrings to match!

SO SO sweet & SO SO unexpected!

You are a Doll, Julie, & your kindness knows no bounds.

You're as warm & wonderful as it gets & now that I know we're Armenian Sisters...we're meant to be friends for life! 

I love you & appreciate you...to pieces!

Thank you, Julie Jan.

And my last delivery of the day...

This mug of heaven from the only other "Boo" in my life besides my Hubby...my beautiful Brittany!

Girl...your card made me cry & this yummy-ness made me grub like a motha! LOL!

YOU, my amazing friend...have touched my life, and my heart...more than any words could ever express, & I know, without a doubt...we'll be friends for life!

No matter the distance, even if we never get to meet (please...we so will)...you are such a beautiful light in my life & I'm so so blessed to have "met" you & so so blessed to know you & love you. 

Not only are these my very favorite...I was so surprised...I smiled on the outside and the inside.

And truth...I haven't stopped yet. 

You're an Angel & my Soul Sista forever.

I love you to the moon & back & can't wait till the day I get to hug you!

Thank you...with every beat of my heart.

Love you, Boo!

All of your cards & words of love are kept in a very special box & whenever I need some extra sunshine...I know exactly where to go! You girls...& ALL of you reading this...make my heart so happy...I often run out of words to truly express my gratitude. Just know that some of the best moments of my days are those spent with you, & I truly do...carry each one of you in my heart. I am forever grateful, and forever blessed. What a beautiful world we live in...to be filled with so many Angels. La Vita Bella & so are all of you! 

I hope & pray that you felt as loved as I did on Valentine's Day & that you'll continue to feel that way...every day. If no one told you they love you today...I did...and I do. 

Thank you for being SUCH a joy in my life & by far...one of my very favorite parts!

And if you haven't yet…

HUGE Love & Hugs to you ALL!

Have a beautiful night, My Sweethearts.

A VERY Blessed & Grateful Girl,

Need A Little Pick-Me-Up?

Hi, My Angels.

Just as I was about to take a shower a get ready for bed, I plugged my phone in & saw a text from my Sister. What was attached was as beautiful as it gets & I just had to share it with all of you. If your sad, struggling with anything, or just need a little sunshine in your life right now…this is for you. And if you're as happy as can be…you'll still appreciate this! It's definitely one of the most beautiful I've seen! Thank you so much for sending it to me, Sissy. I love you very much.

Have a beautiful night, Sweethearts.

I love you & I am always here.

XO

From my ♥…to yours, 

TEAM ISSAC ♥

After reading this post & this one too...from the beautiful (inside & out), Erin from Living in Yellow...to put it lightly...I was moved.

With tears streaming down my cheeks...I read & I kept on reading. I read both Erin words, & the personal journal of Isaac's Parents...here.

I immediately donated, but felt the need to do so much more & of course...spread the word to all of you. I cannot even begin to fathom this amount of pain, and if I can do ANYTHING at all to ease it...I ABSOLUTELY will.

None of us know this little Angel personally, but in an instant...he invaded ALL of our lives...and our hearts.

If this story touches your heart too...please please don't hesitate to reach out. No matter how small...no act of love goes unnoticed, and EVERY kindness counts.

Let us all join in this movement to help make Isaac & his family's Christmas...one to remember. Because after all...THAT is the TRUE meaning of Christmas.

ALL the ways you can make a difference are right here.

Thank you...with EVERY beat of my heart.

In this life...we ALL gotta stick together & help each other...whenever we need it most.
THIS is one of those times.

I love & appreciate you all...SO MUCH MORE than words. 





We ♥ You, Isaac & We Are ALL Rootin' For You!

2. Favorite New Online Site!

Have you always wanted to try a new shade from MAC, but didn't want to spend a million dollars, just to see if you even like it? Well…now you can! This site is full of "samples" you can try before you purchase the full size! A lot of times…the sample size is even enough! Not everyone wants a full size red pigment! A lot of times we just wanna play for costumes & stuff! So…if this is you…play away! Just in time for Halloween! They have many other brands too! 

Clink on above pic for direct link! 

Here's what I bought so far & how they come!

I'm loving the "Vanilla" pigment for highlighting, brow bone, inner tear ducts, etc.

3. Favorite Halloween Costume So Far!

LMFAO!

I am literally CYRING!!!

This is my friend Amber's Son & the best part is…she made this costume!

Best I've seen…by far! 

"I pity the fool" who tries to outdo this bad boy! 

GREAT JOB, A!

You nailed this one & most def….got my award! 

.

4. Favorite Photo Editing Site!

When I heard the news the my long time friend, Picnik was closing…I had a mild heart attack!

What was I gonna do now?

All my creativeness had no where to live…until now.

I tweeted asking if anyone knew where to go next, and my sweet friend told me about PicMonkey…and I've been loving it ever since! 
Even better than Picnik!
So…thank you so much, sweet friend, and if you guys are looking for a editing site…check this baby out! 
Click on above pic! You'll love it!

5. Favorite "SHAKE YO ASS  & SANG" Anthem!

A Happy, Grateful Girl,

Another Year FULL of Love.

I turned another year older yesterday, and my heart…got a lot more full of love!

An overwhelming amount of Facebook/Instagram/Blog messages, calls, texts, Birthday songs, very special gifts & many surprises, very yummy treats, a day spent with nothing but love & laughter with my beautiful B…

a perfect day, indeed.

ALL of you were a part of it, and I thank you…with every beat of my heart.

Here's what I posted on Facebook…

"Some people are as bright as the moon; their hearts shine with the light of a million heavenly stars. * ALL of YOU represent this in my life! Thank you, with EVERY part of me...for your generous spirits and beyond kind hearts. To say that I

 felt loved on my Birthday…is THE BIGGEST understatement of ALL TIME! I am blessed, far beyond measure, and I have ALL of you to thank. You made my day, week, year, and most importantly…made me feel that the life I live is one to be proud of. You made me laugh, cry, say "Awww" a million & one times =), brought back so many wonderful memories, but most of all…reminded me how TRULY blessed I am, & how proud I am to call ALL of you…my Beautiful Family & Friends. Life is made up of captured moments, & the things we share and the moments we spend together have become gifts that my heart won't ever forget. Thank You ALL…for your unbelievable love & kindness. It will FOREVER be remembered. "Generous hearts are the accomplices of happiness." (Suzanne Cole) & at this very moment…I couldn't be any happier! =) I will reply to all of you individually, but for now…here's my heartfelt thanks! I ♥ ♥ ♥ YOU!!! XO"

Here's to a brand new year, a brand new me, and a whole bunch more lives I get to touch! 

Thank you for being here, and sharing in my journey.

I look forward to ALL that's to come!
