In the summer of 2010, just before I started blogging, I took Kelly Rae Roberts "Flying Lessons" e-course. I wrote about it here and interestingly enough, the word "Believe" (my word of the year) worked itself into that post very prominently.
I still stay in touch with the creative folks I 'met' during that course through facebook. In December we had a holiday swap and my gift exchange partner was Kelly Warren from Happy Shack Designs.
Kelly and I sent many emails back and forth getting to know each other better - it was so much fun! The surprise I received from her was so kind and generous... A mounted gerber daisy print (which is now prominently displayed in my studio), and a lovely handcrafted pendant created from the same photo. Gerber daisies are my absolute favorite flowers, so this amazingly thoughtful present was perfect!
December was the final month of a very long, tough year for me, but Kelly's wonderful gift was a beautiful bright spot... Thank you Kelly!
You can find these fantastic gifts (and lots of other fun photo goodness) in Kelly's etsy shop.
Oh, you are very welcome! I'm so glad they brightened your day! I've had so much fun getting to know you!
