So I noticed one of my friends at church had a birthday this week, and I decided to take her a little treat! We are not super close buddies, but just have met and interacted a few times, so I thought it would be a nice surprise. Plus, who doesn't love a little attention on their birthday???Anyway, I saw Jody's tutorial on how to make a Boxy Bag on her site, and thought I would try it out. It was SUPER simple and the results are cute!! I took it to my friends door yesterday afternoon and she was shocked and I think she liked it. It wasn't much, but it just had some lifesavers and a lemonade flavored lip smackers in it -- but you know, it is the thought that counts -- the little things! I wished her a Happy Birthday, told her to have a good day and I was off to continue my errands, run to the post office, etc.
Weird note on karma -- M would say it is all a bunch of baloney, but when I got to the post office, there was NO-ONE in line at all, I just walked up -- and when I left like three minutes later, the line was at least 8-10 people deep, backed up out the door. Someone up there was looking out for me!! Seriously, the post office with two crazy kids in tow is not fun with a line up like that! I was so thankful that I got there when I did.
SO, my challenge for you today is to do something nice for someone. Make someone's day a little brighter!!! The world is full of enough negative, so try to counter balance it with your positive actions. Seriously, you could do anything -- just take a friend a little treat, or it could be even more random than that -- like doing something nice for your grocery checker in line. It's sometimes feels weird cause it is a little out of our comfort zone, but it is easy and fun! It made me feel happy! YOU CAN DO THIS! Then, report back here, I would love to hear your stories!!!Stamps: SU Family Phrases Paper: Pixie Pink, GP White, Making Memories Maddie Narr Stripe Ink: Onyx Black Versafine Accessories: Tangerine Square Brads, Clear Round Swarovski Crystals, Prima flowers - yellow and pink, Marvy Uchida Mega and Giga Scalloped Ovals, Fiscars Punch, Pale yellow ribbon (from my stash), red line adhesive tape, clear baggie.

I love the little treat bag. You picked great colors. It's funny you mentioned the cashiers. At least once a month, I buy a candy bar for a cashier - especially if it looks like she is having a bad day or is grumpy. I also gave a bag of miniature candy bars to the people behind the pharmacy counter at my Rite-Aid store. I use their services quite often and they are always so nice. I too, firmly believe in Karma, and I know how I feel when someone does a RAK for me, so I will continue this practice.
