These are things I think you should look at. Each and every one of them will make you happy.
Nancy Zimmerman runs the “Your Money by Design” website.
She helps you get control of your cash.
She also has a blog. And I found a really good, thoughtful video there from the Ted Conference.
Please watch it if you want to feel happy and inspired.
I have an obsession with platters, serving boards, bowls and mostly wood stuff you can serve stuff on.
I don’t care if it’s rough, or smooth or stained or natural.
Putting out olives, crackers, cheese and some salami becomes an EVENT when you do it on one of these.
It took me a while to warm up to it, but without a doubt,
the #1 thing I grew in my garden this year was the Dinosaur Kale.
I got the seeds from Laura at Cubits.
She has them again so if you want a Kale that’s has almost no bitterness (you can eat it raw)
and is cold tolerant to sub zero temperatures go order these seeds right now.
I was picking Kale from a beautiful kale plant in my front yard up until the beginning of January!
If these don’t make you happy, you’re not right in the head.
Egg and chick felted soaps from Denise at Iguana Make it.
Elizabeth from Compass Jewelry will be taking a short break from making jewelry in
March to build her second Habitat for Humanity House.
All the money from these necklaces sold will go directly to fund her next build which happens to be in Hawaii.
Yes. I know. I thought it seemed like a scam too, LOL. But it turns out Habitat for Humanity needs
people to do their builds all over the world and you have to pay for own airfare to get there.
You can read more about it here.
Pinafores!
Tricia Rose of
Rough Linen has branched out into ready to wear!
Ready to wear aprons. These pinafores are
made out of 100% natural linen and you
just throw them on over your clothes.
Sizes for girls, bigger girls and grown up ladies.
Ellenoire is one of the few places that carries Face Atelier make up. If you’re looking for the perfect blush without even having to try it on … get this. Peach Glaze blush. It has a tiny bit of gold highlights that make your cheeks glow. I’ve worn it for almost 15 years. And I love it.
Go buy these from Photo Jewelry Making Supplies …
… so you can make these! Jam season is coming up! One day.
Love yogourt but don’t love dairy? Fiona from Paris Hues (yes, she’s actually in Paris)
shows you how to make home made yogourt with no dairy! Soy Yogourt.
My best web design friends on the Internet are Wayne and Selina from Waylay. Every single person who has found and used their services through my website have gushed about Waylay. They know their jobs and they do it well.
And those … are the things that make me happy.

Thanks! I always love it when you share your sponsors. I’ll be checking them out, I especially am interested in the blush and the yogurt. Ann
Molly Ellis
Go Waylay! Gush. Gush.
Sandy
I am interested in the photo jewelry making supplies. Thanks so much for this post.

I like this post. So many things to make me smile.
toekneetoni
thank you!
Tina
I just ordered the blush and the apron – can hardly wait. Thanks!
Debby
Allow me to add to the gushing, then.
I found and used Waylay Designs through your website, reading a post like this. They are everything you described and more. Clever, thoughtful, and they answer questions and explain things without making me feel technologically incompetent.(Which I really am. But they kindly avoid that.) I love their makeover of my website http://www.streamlinedsolutions.ca
So thank you for recommending them!
Nancy Blue Moon
I was just looking at Iguana Make It the other day..It’s impossible to look at her felted soaps without smiling!
Kathleen
Do you have the botanical name of the Dinosaur Kale? I would love to plant it this year, and can’t get to Cubits.
Thank you.
Karen
Hi Kathleen – Cubits delivers their packets of seeds. ~ karen!
Tracie
Awesome Karen, you have great sponsors! I would love to gift a gourmet friend those dinosaur kale seeds, another the jewelry, another those adorable felted soaps….holy, and I would love to try my hand at the yogurt. Ok, I just want everything, sue me! I am in the process of getting a paypal account so I can do my shopping on line (I never have) I can’t believe I just confessed that…well, soon I hope.
Karen
LOL. Don’t be to embarrassed. One of my sisters still uses a bank book! The paper thing you update in the printing machine! ~ karen
Tracie
That’s hilarious! Ok, now I don’t feel nearly as bad!
Debbie
I have ordered from Cattails and what beautiful and yet useful items she has. If you need a gift for people to keep forever and then their kids fight over it after they are gone, she is your girl. Not only beautiful and creative items she is a doll to talk to. Check her out on her site, the pictures are beautiful but when you get them in your hand you can’t believe how they feel, and better yet work. I am planning on the make up, more cattails,the jewelry making and seeds. You have great sponsors.

Once again late to the party but want to say thanks for the shoutout and yes – really thoughtful vid. I think I’ll need reminding of that till the day I die.
