Happy Monday, Sweets!! Hope you’re having a great day so far! I am so excited to introduce you to one of my sweet friends.  Her name is Chrissy, and we met on Twitter awhile back.  We share a love for so many of the same things and often find ourselves “virtually” giggling via our emails and chats about just how much we have in common…and, how it is a MUST that we meet in person sometime {preferably sooner than later!}.  Chrissy is the owner and creative soul behind Hoot Designs and Hoot Photography.  She has an adorable Etsy shoppe so be sure to stop by to see some of her creations.  I just loved her personality and spark the moment we started chatting.  She is full of energy and has the cutest, bubbliest personality…and, she is REAL…I know that I can ask her opinion and get a straight answer or a sweet suggestion straight from her heart.  Amazing how well you can get to know someone through email chats and such!  And, I just love it that she puts some “stuff” in her email messages…she’s not a one or two liner…she’s like me…she writes a little bit ~ makes you feel as though you’ve had a fun chat with her!  And, if you know me, well, you know I kinda tend to write detailed emails so we get along just great! 🙂  Some of us chicks just have alot to say!

Chrissy designs fabulous camera straps, and I fell in love with her damask design and just had to order one a while back.  Since it was around my birthday time, and Chrissy and I were in this fun birthday club together {more on this in another post}, she included a few extra treats for me.  I knew I wanted to share these with you on the blog so I thought my cute ribbon plate was a perfect piece to show them off on…couldn’t have matched better!  On the left you’ll see my cute camera strap packaged up with such fabulous style, and then, you’ll see my PINK keychain that Chrissy created {I so love something personalized with my name because as you can imagine, my name is not one you often see on things}, along with a cute jumbo paperclip that is also in my favorite colors.  I just squealed when I opened my surprise because she had chosen such perfect colors for me, as I love PINK and GREEN.

As you can see, she is quite the CREATIVE CHICK!!  🙂  And, she also finds time to do all sorts of fun things with her beautiful daughter.  I just love reading her posts about things they are up to; they’re even taking an online art class together! Now, how fun is that?!! She is so involved with her daughter’s activities, and I just love reading about how much fun they have together.  Check out her “Back to School” post ~ they are having a back to school sleepover, and she made the cutest invitations for it!  Ooh la la…can’t you just imagine how much those girls are going to love those invites?!! Gosh, they are so stinkin’ cute!!

Here’s another close up of my cute camera strap, and yes, it even has an adorable black and white rosette! I just loved how Chrissy tied it up with PINK and white twine and topped it with a dose of cuteness.  I hope you’ll take time to stop by her pages on Facebook, and when you do, let her know I sent you.  And, be sure to visit her blogs ~ all the links are below.  I just know your creative juices will be sparked by all the fun things she shares!

Chrissy, many thanks again for my sweet b’day treats!  I am so excited that we met that day on Twitter and just have the best time being friends with you and watching our friendship grow!! 🙂
