First off, some happy/supportive/joyful comments would be much appreciated....our car was broken into! A big ol meany smashed our drivers side window and stole my hubby's brand new Iphone 4 and his Blackberry. We both feel totally violated and my poooooor car! Her feelings are hurt. The thief will get their Karma though.

Now on to the fun stuff, after all it is FRIDAY! And life is too short to dwell on negativity. Its time for Fill in the Blank goodness hosted by the ever so lovely Lauren! This weeks theme is birthdays:

1.  Birthdays are:  fun now that I relax and don't expect them to be perfect   

2.  My favorite birthday memory is: when I came home from work on my 29th birthday and my family surprised me by filling the house with roses and candles and a table covered in prezies all wrapped with pretty pink paper! It was so sweet and girly and cute! 

3.  A birthday tradition I (or my family) have is: my hubby always makes me breakfast in bed!

4.  If I had to choose one birthday meal to eat for the rest of my birthdays hence forward, I would choose: uhm, birthday cake?

5.  My birthday is on: June 25, 1980 I am a cancer! 

6.  If I could take a birthday trip I would go to see the ballet in New York all dressed up in my best duds with my hubby in a sexy suit      

7.  The best gift I've ever received for my birthday was: The camera I got for my 30th birthday. Its a Canon Rebel and I love it more then anything else I own!

On another note I stumbled on this lovely concept: The Kind Hearted Blogger Pledge which I am happy to add my name too! Ahem..... AS A KIND-HEARTED BLOGGER I PLEDGE TO:
  • create, inspire, and admire rather than compete with fellow bloggers
  • be understanding of each other-- in the blogging community, as well as in the world
  • stay away from internet/blogging bullying
  • speak my opinion freely, while still being mindful of other's feelings-- be tactful.
  • make an effort--no matter how big or small the gesture, to spread kindness or joy to others
  • acknowledge that I will make mistakes, (I am only human) but remember to learn from them
  • know that at times I will post about the negative stuff in life, and maybe even some complaining (I am only human) but I will always follow up with something happy/positive too.
  • believe that this world is a good place, filled with good people.

I came across this lovely Flickr page and just had to share it with you all. I love this crafters style, and this photo in particular really spoke to me. Crafting, its a lifestyle.
 
I firmly believe that cute stuff alters our brain chemistry and makes us healthier. Happy = healthy and every time you smile you are sending positive vibes to your whole body. Watch this and not smile, I dare you! TOO CUTE!
 
Was a huge success! I had a lot of fun, met amazing people, sold lots and learned more! But the best part of all was seeing how excited kids got over my stuffies. These three sisters fell in love with my Bam-Bambi's and each went home with one. I was too busy to take many photos, but here are a few. More will follow from the Lynn Valley Craft Fair....August 21/22 B THERE!

1.  Today for breakfast I had a protein smoothie! Chocolate vegan protein powder, rhubarb, strawberries, blackberries, orange slices, almond milk, almond butter all blended up! Oh and with some cinnamon too. It was D-LISH!

2.  My go to/never fail recipe: a nice and easy pasta, always vegetarian, pesto tomato sauce and brown rice noodles. With some nice parmesan on top its a no-brainer!

3.  Something I eat that other people think is weird is: oh dear, lots. Goji berries, kale, swiss chard, rice pasta, nut crackers, quinoa.....

4.  My worst cooking disaster ever was when I sliced nearly through my finger, hit bone, and gave myself nerve damage in my finger....hence the "Kami is not allowed to use sharp knives rule"      

5.  If I could only eat one flavor of ice cream it would be classic french vanilla!

6.  One food I hate and avoid at all costs is Jamaican Jerk Chicken. Got a bad case of food poisoning from it once and wound up in the hospital. I will never eat it again.

7.  What is your favorite meal?  Breakfast, lunch, or dinner? Dinner because my hubby always cooks it and it is always yummy!
