That’s right. I said Gal-entines Day. What of it? As you well know, I belong to a fabulous community run by Collective Bias called Social Fabric. And since February is the “month of love”, we’ve been doing all kinds of crazy fun things to build the community relations even stronger. There have been photos of the day with themes, there will be a Twitter Party tomorrow with amazing prizes, AND we are doing a gift exchange. Yesterday, I received my gift! Oh I do love gifts!
All gifts are special of course, but this one was extra-sparkly special. You see, one of my online BFF’s drew my name and she knows me very well (too well in fact, she knows where the bodies are buried). Amy from As the Bunny Hops made a Looks for Less picture frame about a year ago for an Elmer’s campaign. I loved it. I begged her for it. But alas, she never sent it…until NOW!
Yup, that’s right, I own this now and she’s not getting it back. Score one for me (and one for her for remembering how much I wanted this). I’m still trying to decide what photo to put in here. It has to be something really special to compliment those awesome colors. Amy’s going to say I should put a photo of her in there. Well she won’t now, but she would have if I didn’t just mention it.
But she didn’t stop there although that would have been more than enough for me. There was a card, glitter tattoos (because you can never have enough…trust me), and THIS….
That’s right. Check your jealousy at the door. It’s a pink sparkle ring that I will proudly adorn it on all of my island adventures and when I show up at SoFabCon to lead the #PinkSparklePants team against the #PurpleArmy (that Amy just so happens to be co-captain of).
I love days that sparkle. I love the Social Fabric community for hosting this month’s events. And I love the support, advice, and friendship that Amy has given me over the past couple of years. And I’m quite fond of the fact that she’s OK with me voluntelling her services all of the time.
Thank you Amy for the wonderful gifts, for remembering I wanted that frame, for embracing the pink sparkles, and for brightening my day! Happy Gal-entines Day to you too!
And to anyone reading this public thank you note, be sure to check out Amy’s website, follow @lilac_the_bunny on Twitter, and like her fan page on Facebook. She’s funny. Everyone needs a daily giggle and you’re sure to get one if you follow along!

Awwww!! How sweet is that?!?! I really think you should keep the frame empty until after SoFab Con! Then you can put a pic of you AND Amy in it!
That is an awesome idea Brandi! You’re so clever.
Aw! So sweet!!! Love it- so thoughtful!
Oh, the frame and the ring! You lucky, sparkly, wonderful woman
Very sweet! The perfect gift for you!
It’s nice to know somebunny loves me.
Do NOT bring that thing! You’ve gone too far.
Amy is so rad…I want to be her when I grow up!
