For the last two weeks, I have been struggling with the billing department of my dentist (note: As of Friday, the struggle appears to have been resolved in my favor. I am a skeptic, so, time will tell!). One day last week, one of the phone calls sent me over the edge…I needed RETAIL THERAPY on a budget! I ended up at Newton’s Nook…and I am am thrilled with the products I selected, the shipping cost, and the shipping time
I knew what I wanted to do with the flip flops before I even got the package open.
I used my handmade wreath building tool (inspired by GinaK Designs Wreath Builder Templates ) to position the flip flops perfectly.

Mike and I live in the same county, and we “met” through our blogs.
Here is the list of questions that Mike asked me to answer:
Do you look for the positive in people?
Do you love your family and friends?
Do you ask yourself how can you help someone less fortunate and do it?
Do you forgive those who may do something wrong and help them move on?
Do you vote?
Do you love animals?
Do you easily pass on and share your knowledge/experience with others?
Do you drive responsibly?
Do you tell the truth?
Do you treat people equally?
Do you know the meaning of life? If so, get back to me please, I want to see if it jives with my thoughts.
I printed the questions and have had them on my craft table for 3 days. They are very introspective questions, don’t you think?
Obviously, the goal for questions 1 – 10 is the answer YES. (Other than #4, I was born a scorekeeper (just the way my brain works)…I am working on it!)
And, NO, I don’t know the meaning of life!
Thanks to Mike for the nomination AND the kind words. Please go check out his blog, Threw Mikes Eyes .
I decided that I wouldn’t officially enter the contest.
I picked up a Hero Arts Ombre ink pad (Ombre Mermaid) a while ago, and never liked anything stamped with it enough to post. I pulled it out again..this I like!
