Surprise Giveaway...Creative Carmella



 "It is more blessed to give than to receive"
Acts 20:35

So, I wish to announce...


and I can't think of a better way to 
spend it.



As I reflect on the last year, I continue to learn more about myself and I'm surely loving the journey.  It's funny how so many of us, myself included, thought we knew it all in our 20's, but now being in our 30's, 
we're really learning about life.  
One lesson I continue to get confirmation on is, friendships.  When we were little, middle school age, we attached ourselves to one person, in which we labeled our best friend; she was (y)our everything.  Days, months and years were spent with this person through times of struggle, laughter, and personal lessons.  As I grow older, and wiser, I continue to learn that in adulthood a single best friend isn't the case.  As I look at all my girlfriends, close and dear to me (near and far), I call them all my best friends; the ones that know me and/or understand me.  Each fabulous lady in my personal story, has a special quality that was once found in that one person, that middle school friend.  I have girlfriends that I laugh with regularly, talk with deeply, reflect on motherhood with and are together socially.  I'm happy to have learned that in our adult years, one shouldn't put all their eggs (friendships) in one basket (one person). Because if we do that, we limit ourselves from knowing so many wonderful people, that offer extra richness to our lives, and you to theirs.  Some people don't like to get older, but I've come to learn it's a wonderful thing.  So, I feel blessed for this birthday and those down the road.



Along side friendships, I feel overly blessed by all the wonderful fans/customers I have, so its to you, I give away 2 of my favorite accessories.

1.  A "Blessed" Necklace from Creative Carmella

I've learned that Carmella is a sweet (& wonderful) person and am glad to say she's not an imaginary friend I made up, she real, we've just never had the pleasure of hugging or high five-ing. The internet brought us together, but I feel it's much more than that.  I can say, without knowing her in person, she's super creative, witty, funny, charming, and makes my heart smile.





So, it seemed fitting to share her BLESSED 
necklace with you.

{2011}, a year full of great things...{2012}, a year where great things can happen


So, Christmas is over...and the decorations are still up.

I'm giving myself until 1/2/2012 then all my decorations will start making their way into boxes until next year.  This seems to always result in a minor panic attach because my home seems so bare afterwards.  I feel so blessed because I have so many wonderful  Christmas Decorations and, I also have a Christmas Ribbon addiction.  It was a great holiday for me and my family. We couldn't all be together but shared our love through Facetime.

With Christmas gone, and the New Year right around the corner, I've started to compile my 2012 Goals, both personal and business.

Top 3 Personal
1.  Stop having expectations (this one is gonna be tough).
2.  Use fewer Paper Towels (I'm lazy about how many I use when a rag could be used instead).
3.  Workout 4 days a week, no matter how short or long.

Top 3 Business
1.  Invent 2 New useful products.
2.  Add 1 more Wholesale Retailer to the list of stores selling Handmade by Hilani
3.  Giveaway two Coupon Organizers to families that could really use one.



Up My Sleeve...Coming Soon

I've been doing this one with my 6 1/2 year old since he was 3.
2.  A great Football Party Dip - Cream Cheese, Brown Sugar, Caramel, and Crushed toffee bars.  Green Apple slices dip into this sweet goodness!
3.  Coupon Organizer Giveaway - I'll be pairing up with another blogger (details to come) and giving away one of my handy, dandy Coupon Organizers. Here's a story from a recent winner: Carmella, from Creative Carmella
