It's Still All About The Squirrel...

Today was "Friendship Funday"...I technically can't call it the usual "Friendship Friday", as we actually met on a Thursday - and what was even more special about this day...we had an additional guest, as our friend Kimber was able to join us! As always, we met at a favorite local restaurant for lunch and enjoyed great conversation and delicious food...we all had so much to talk about, we were there almost three hours (and I never looked at my watch once). It was a much needed break in my stressful work week and I definitely felt a tad more relaxed after some "girl time" with my best friends. I feel so blessed to have girlfriends that listen, provide honest feedback, and help me learn and grow...they always help me get things into perspective! I returned home this afternoon feeling refreshed and loved...

Now, on to the squirrel...
If you are a regular reader, than you know/have heard all my squirrel stories...and about the fun/unique squirrel gifts I have received from my friends across the country...well today, my dear friend Mary gave me this ADORABLE squirrel dish at our luncheon...isn't it the CUTEST?! When I got home, I immediately filled it with chocolates and put it on the coffee table in my stitching nest...it makes me extremely happy! I have never really searched out squirrel items when shopping, but Mary informed me that they are not easy to come by...so I was just tickled to receive this smiling critter...

Well, it is getting late and I still have a pile of things to tackle (that's what happens when I take a few hours off during the day)...I'm off to photograph my pink heart pin pillows (which I will blog about soon) and my little Halloween pillows, so I can get them listed in my Etsy shop in the near future...I also have some kitting I need to do, so I can start on some new needlework models...and the list goes on and on...
