"Happy 1/2 birthday...or something" was boyfriend's line to me tonight as he handed me an envelope and ran out the door to work. Inside was I swear to good you are god at this from Holiday Matinee. Yeah, I had to read the title a few times too. It's a fun little book that presents 25 people and their creative projects in a fun, graphic coffee table-style.

After reading it I headed over to their web site for more. In the about section the minds behind the site each list their top 5 things. I like that.

Two years ago Boyfriend and I went to Costa Rica. Handmade treasures from street vendors

1. I love handmade things from others even more than my own. I'm an Etsy nut.

2. Saturday mornings and Thursday nights.

3. Cushy carpet after five years of hardwood apartment floors. Yummy.

4. A Kiss to Build a Dream On – Louis Armstrong. Thanks Pandora, for the new favorite song.

5. Casting-on and binding off.
