but she likes me and my blog
and
I feel the same way about her
~~
lisa is an amazing mom to two adorable boys
that keep her moving all day and night
and
somewhere in her busy days
filled with sticky hands and wet kisses
she makes jewelry
~~
really really beautiful jewelry
made from her heart
with words or pictures that are simple
yet say and mean so much
~~
I've been reading lisa's blog pretty much forever now
and
it seems like I ask her lots of questions
~which by the way she always answers~
~~
after one of my last comments to her
she sent me a personal email and I decided I just had to share her
and
her jewelry
with all my blog loves
~that's you guys~
~~
she sent me this necklace
with my word for next year
~remember I don't do a new year's resolution anymore~
~just a single word~
just because she's nice that way
and
when her package arrived in the mail
~which is as beautiful as her jewelry~
I was blown away
~~
I am in love with this necklace
and
in love once again
with how this blogging world
~in so many little ways that have filled my heart~
has changed my life
~~
the community
the tribe
the connection
that I feel and see
and
am part of everyday
continues to amaze me beyond words
~~
so today my blog loves
please visit lisa
and
fall in love with her and her family
and
her jewelry
all of which she is so incredibly passionate about
and
tell her I sent you
~~
you won't be disappointed
I promise

ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful and inspiring gift... Blog-pals are the sweetest. :o)
ReplyDeleteI love how you share with us. I love seeing you get the love you deserve. I love seeing how we all creatively express our love.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky are you, woman?!
her work is gorgeous and so simple but heartfelt.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful surprise.
That is just beautiful. I will check her blog out. Hope is what you have given to alot of us Beth, it is a very appropriate word for you. Take care.
ReplyDeletelovely post! That picture is very magical too.
ReplyDeleteI'm familiar with her site... even tried to win a piece or two of her amazing creations.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful, pieces like that call out for running your fingers over them, soaking it up. Congratulations to you for being the recipient of such a treasure, and for being one to us. I am loving this blog world more and more.
What a beautiful necklace...perfect for a beautiful person like you! I will look at Lisa site today, Miss Beth!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful necklace. it's a great way to usher in the new year that's quickly approaching, one word. have a great day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful friendship...
ReplyDelete:-)
(((hugs))),
love,
me
I LOVE her jewelry! I keep visiting thinking I will buy something and you know I think I will! I, too, choose a word for the year. 2010 will be my third year and I haven't chosen yet!
ReplyDeleteCourage was my first one. This year was Believe which by the way you have a photo (that I love) holding up "Believe" I always enjoy your posts!!!
This is beautiful -- I forgot about your one-word. This is the best one ever! I'll have to drop by and visit Lisa! Your recommendation is a fine tribute!
ReplyDeleteYou deserve this gift, Beth. I'm so happy for you, it is really lovely. I own some of Lisa's work. I had my "word" for 2009 made into a necklace and now you've got me thinking about my word for the upcoming year.
ReplyDeleteso so incredibly beautiful... how much do i love that i can go fall in love with another creative heart too... and that it is your sharing heart that is making that possible... thank you for opening your treasure and in so doing making it all of ours too...
ReplyDeleteBeth, I found your blog from Talk at the Table... usually I window-shop blogs, admiring but not actually wandering in and leaving comments. I just wanted to say, though, that I love the way you write--the combination of half poetry, half prose caught me off guard and I love it! (I also appreciate your pictures, but your writing is what caught my eye.) Anyway, thanks for the lovely blog, and I am so glad I stumbled onto it! Am happily following now. :)
ReplyDeleteThe necklace is beautiful and what a treasure to receive. I didn't know anyone else that chose a word for the year. My word for this year was create and now for next year is joy. I love having a special word to focus on for the year.
ReplyDeletelove your blog! thank you for an inspiring visit!
ReplyDeletelove + luck + bliss,
missysue
you are such a sweetie. thank you for the beautiful post. xxoooo
ReplyDeleteps the code is all one word 'beyourself'.
she does have an adorable blog.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful you've found yourself a friend like Lisa. Great post about her. I'm gonna check out her space after i'm done here. It's dangerous though because my family knows me a a crow so I might fall for her jewls too.
ReplyDeleteBeth, you are easy to love. I will for sure check out Lisa's blog. I also do a single word in place of a New Year's resolution. My 2009 word is Appreciate.
ReplyDeletejust beautiful, Beth. Perfect word choice, too!
ReplyDeleteHope is always a good thing to carry around your neck. And keep close to your heart. Love the necklace and the post! Hope all's well. :)
ReplyDeleteYep. She's wonderful. Just like her jewelry and her blog.
ReplyDeleteI do that word thing every year, too. Except that a few years back I was given the word "peace" and I haven't been able to let it go. So that's my word every year. I try to renew it and spread around a bit.
Simply beautiful
ReplyDeleteI love my blog pals (of course YOU) and how they bring so much to our worlds! I got to meet Angelica on Sat. How cool is that?! Love the necklace- will have to check out Lisa's blog~ Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteyou lucky thing that is a beautiful piece of jewelry.
ReplyDeleteHow funny... I bet it was a year or so ago I came across her blog, loved it, but never bookmarked it...her pieces always stood out to me... how luck for you to have a "hope" ... and we were just talking about that a few weeks ago, weren't we... xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou are a sweet pea. What a terrific blessing that necklace is. Not just the lovely necklace, but the relationship and the affection. Lucky you. Lucky her.
