You know what I love? When something great happens to my friends. Good things should (and DO!) happen to good people, and I love to celebrate that!
I was reminded of this fact when I went into Target (which, contrary to popular culture, I prefer to call "Tragic" just because it came out that way one day when I was saying I needed to go there yet again and knew I would end up spending about 10x as much as I had planned... I love Target, but it can be hard on the wallet! Anyway, I digress)...
Back to the Target story. I was cruising the scrapbook aisle (imagine that! Me!? On the scrapbook aisle? Who woulda thunk??!) when a few little things caught my eye. These:
And these:
Not only are they both ADORABLE, they are both created by women I love! Stephanie was a designer for Me and My Big Ideas and now is the founding editor of Homegrown Hospitality, a new quarterly pub from CKMedia, she runs all sorts of cool things at her boys' school, is a newlywed, and makes me smile!!! And Tia... Tia is simply Tia and that means she is AMAZING. She designs for Autumn Leaves, was a 2007 Simple Gal, and is just really, really cool. In fact, did you realize that TIA=
T his girl
I s
A mazing!
Hee hee. Steph, I will work on one for you. How about, She Turns Everything Perfectly Happy?
Anyway, I'll work on that. In the meantime, please celebrate your friends today. Choose them wisely, choose them well, and then celebrate them.
I celebrate my friends everyday!!! Especially you Lain!!! Loves Ya!!!

Canada has no Target. It's sad :( But the same thing happens in the LSS (and often Walmart).
Speaking of friends, I see that it is Angie Appreciation Day. I love how the "simple" gang all supports and uplifts everyone. I'm happy just thinking about you as part of that cool community. I celebrate you Lain!

Ok first of all every time I go to Target it costs a minimum of $500 (yes thats five HUNDRED dollars) - seriouly!
Ok, Lain - I Just have to tell you that I met Ali Edwards & Tim Holtz & Jessia Sprague & this really really nice girl representing Simple whom I keep forgetting her name (sorry) but she says most of her stuff is in Creating Keepsakes anyway, AND not only that I met Bo Derek today (ALL of whom I had no idea I'd bd meeting when I woke up on those respective days / and I just wish I'd had a little pod cast microphone w/ me like you do!).

Celebrating friends is a wonderful thing to do. Without them, we would all be wandering aimlessly through Target alone...I mean life. (unless of course you have children...screaming children...gotta run now...screaming children)

ME + Target = $100 minimum every time! Why, oh, why do they have so much stuff that I need there? Cute stamps, I will need to check them out today.
But, seriously, where is this week's podcast??? I am going thru withdrawl here. My dog loves it whenever she sees me get out the iPod because she knows she is going to get an extra good long walk while I listen to your fun podcast. Ella the yellow lab is sending you those big, sad brown labrador eyes saying "Lain...need a new podcast and a long run in the woods!" Can you help me out friend?
