Thankful Thursday and "Pay it Forward"

  

Dear Chomps and Kirby,

I am so thankful for you. You help me stay happy and positive. Your sweetness melts my heart. 

Dear Kirby,

You are so sweet in your little trusting way. You love your head scratched and you love to preen while getting your head scratched. Your silliness makes me smile. You are very adorable and I'm so thankful that you have been a part of my life.

Dear Chomps,

You're so sweet, especially in the morning. I love it when you're tired. You look up at me with sleepy eyes and start to purr as I'm petting you. Your fur is so soft and I love to pet you.

The stress relief I receive from these two furballs is amazing. It has been work and at times frustrating to take care of the kitties but they take such good care of me. They deserve the world!

Please join me in Thankful Thursday and share what you are thankful for.

Make a Difference Monday

Its make a difference Monday and all over the blogosphere, bloggers are posting a little give away. I am excited to participate in the fun. I commented on Samantha's blog 3 - Oh - 1 Grace St and I look forward to what she might have in store for me. Here are the rules for this fun exercise:

The first three people that comment on my post will get a gift from me within the next year. All you have to do is follow the rules below. It's pretty simple if you ask me. 

1. Within the year, I will create something unique to share with the first 3 people that comment on this specific post. I love giving gifts! (I may share something special that is not hand made and there's a good chance I will do it within a month instead of a year.)

2. ...but, in order for your present to arrive, you must play along as well. Spread the love on YOUR own blog promising to send a little something to the first three that comment on your blog post.

3. You get 72 hours (that's 3 days) to re-post this SAME post, or I'll move on to the next person.

In other news, I was blessed to participate in a scarf swap with my new bloggy friend Heather at Thirsty World Designs. It was quite a blessing to have received two scarves and I hope she enjoys the scarf I sent her. There's a good chance I'll be heading back to Target to get it for me.  END
