Some things.

I believe little things like this make days perfect.

Speaking of things that make days...here are a few that have made my day recently: 

1.  Receiving a surprise Christmas gift from my BFF

 She sent me socks, slippers, made me a wire knot ring and made me button magnets! How adorable is she? 

2. So, randomly I mentioned on Maggie's blog blog how I was SOOOO jealous she could knit because it is something I wish I had the patience for.  She emailed me and told me how stress-relieving it was for her and how she would make me something special. Just like that. I was blown away by her kindness and generosity.  Well, I just received my items and let me tell you they are BEAUTIFUL.  I have gotten SOOOO many compliments on my things and I cannot thank you enough, Maggie.  You are so talented.  I believe she is going to be selling her items (correct me if I'm wrong) and I think you all should check them out.  

3. I was the winner of TWO different giveaways

     1. The Short and Sweet of It hosted a giveaway from Charonel Designs and this girl (pointing finger awkwardly at myself) won!! Thank you to both of you for this awesome giveaway. I can hardly wait to use my gift tags <3 

Pretty sweet, huh? 

         2. Isavirtue hosted a giveaway a few weeks ago to celebrate a birthday week...and I won that too! Which is ridiculous because I'm not really one to win things.  I got awesome stationary and a little notebook from this and I'm thrilled :) 

   Looking at the positives is a good way to start a Monday :)

REWIND

Wow, time flies.  These pictures are from about TWO months ago and I'm just getting to posting them now.  After Megan's wedding, Amber and I ventured around Bellefonte to see what the town was made of.  The town is quaint and was just what we needed after a celebrating the night before. 

...after a night out the FIRST thing I want to do is eat. So, we went to this cute little cafe and got coffee and food. Essential. And why yes, funny you should mention it...Amber and I ARE wearing the same boots and skirt. No big deal. We do what we have to and act like it's ok :-D

We then got on a train and took some photos...

Acted like rebels and decided to walk the tracks...

Housed Elegantly ate cupcakes, since Amber is obsessed with trying new cupcake places.  These were delicious, by the way. 

It was the perfect day to just hang around and have best friend time.  I wish this happened more often, but distance is a bitch. If I'm being honest.

Beautiful.

One of my best friends sent me this this other day.

Think about people in your life who are beautiful; you know...those who have real, true and unsurpassed beauty.  What makes them beautiful?  I believe and have found that surface beauty can only go so far.  I've met plenty of people who lost their "beauty" and others who have become the most beautiful people I have ever seen after getting to know them.  What do you think defines beauty and makes a person beautiful? I think the quote above points out a lot of key points <3
