Prayers and Positive Energy

Back on February 13th I wrote a blog post asking for people to pray for Sydney. 

She goes to my son's school and was in a 

very serious sledding accident on 

Sunday, February 10th.

I asked for love, prayers and lots of positive energy. Prayers and positive energy are

helping Sydney. Please continue praying

 and sending positive energy to her.

Today Diane, her mom updated us all with wonderful news. 

"Syd laughed today. What a powerful miracle to her friends and family. Thank you to all of you for continuing to pray. We are so blessed and fortunate to have so much love."

I believe in prayers and positive energy. 

I know that it helped me when I needed it 

and I know it is helping Sydney. 

Let's continue to help Sydney and her family. 

She is a miracle girl! 

Let the miracles keep coming!

35 Year Old Crush- The Meet

Part three of "the man" and his "crush"

They finally had their adventure in the Big Apple.

Here is what “the man” had to say:

“ABOSLUTELY AMAZING! We had the best three days! If you saw a movie with this story you would think it was fabricated as "just a feel good story". We went to great restaurants, a Broadway show, a few bars, walked, talked, laughed, and even cried a bit! It was spectacular! ...and even though we live nowhere near each other we hope to experience this again. It was truly a special three days.”

So happy to hear they had an amazing time. Whether this works out for them or not at least they have these 3 days. We hope for a fairy tale ending and they live happily ever after.

I am a sucker for romance so I am hoping that I get an invitation to their wedding one day and dance the night away with them.

To romance......

Guess what we found .....

The past few days we have been cleaning out our storage warehouse. You never realize how much you have till you decide to clean it out.

We found lots of yarn, needlepoint threads and needlepoint kits. All of these items are from Collectors Crafts which is a crafts division of Jodi's Gifts. 

So, what do we do with all these products? 
1. Do we donate them?
2. Do we sell them below cost?
3. Do we throw them out?

Of course #3, throwing them out is a big NO, NO.
We like #2 selling them below cost. 
We like #1 donating them. 

Looking over the stock we have decided that we are going to donate the odds and ends. The question is where to donate them? Any suggestions? Would love to donate them to a school for children to use them. Anyone have a school they could recommend that could use them? We called a few libraries and they all said that is very nice but we have no use for the yarn.

The stock that we are going to sell are bags of yarn, needlepoint kits and of course needlepoint thread. We are going to sell them at huge discounted prices so everyone can get a great bargain. 

I personally am so tempted to keep all the yarn and start to knit like I used to. Unfortunately I don't knit like that anymore but once in awhile I surprise myself and pick up my knitting needles and start knitting.

Look out in the next few days we will be adding the yarn, needlepoint threads and needlepoint kits to our website to sell.

If you have any recommendation of where to donate the yarn please email us at info@jodisgifts.com.

35 Year Old Crush- Part 2

This is a continuation of my blog post from February 13th about a man and his 35 year old crush. If you have not read that blog post please go back to February 13th and read my post. You will get a chuckle out of it.

I am in contact with the "man" and he and his "crush girl" would love for me to continue to report about the adventure in the Big Apple. 

I got a kick out of it when he told me he told his "crush girl". I was shocked he did, but was flattered that he did. He is such a nice guy and he really seems to like her. I think it took a lot of courage to tell her about telling a bunch of strangers at a networking party all about her. Also, letting her know that I wrote about them in my blog.

They will be seeing each other for the escapade in the Big Apple next week. 

In his email he told me: "I have a bunch of things planned, like, dinner at some nice restaurants, seeing The Book of Mormon, walks around the city, shopping, late night bars, etc…   We’re really excited to spend some time together after so many years!  Trying to not have any expectations…but that’s sort of tough."

Romance is in the air. The two of them seem to have gotten the "bug". They should have a great time in the Big Apple. Can't wait to hear about the escapade. 

                         To the "man" and his "crush girl" wishing you a incredible time!

Personal Post

Tonight's blog is more of a personal post. 

My town needs help with prays. A little girl by the name of Sydney that goes to my son's school was in a very serious sledding accident on Sunday. She needs love, pray and lots of positive energy. So, I am asking if you could please take a minute out of your day and pray for her and send her positive energy. 


She is in an induced coma after her 1st brain surgery. She is improving and she is stable but in critical condition. She is still in the coma but they have taken out a few tubes. Each day her family waits to see what is going to happen next. The unknown is there and the doctors don't know what to expect when they do bring her out of the coma. They are taking baby steps and watching her closely after each little thing.


So, please pray for her. Thanks for doing this.

35 Year Old Crush

For the past few days I am been attending the IRWD 2013 Web Design and Usability Conference in Orlando. It has been very interesting. Lots of information to grasp. Networking with various different people. Trade and non-trade. Meeting some new friends.

Tonight was the Networking Party which I happen to be a lucky person to sit at a really fun table. Some networking occurred but mostly lots of laughing. We all talked about the conference but mostly about ourselves. We actually were the last group of people to leave the party so you can tell that we were having a great time together. 

At the table was a guy who was telling us about a trip he was going on to the Big Apple to see a very special woman. He has had a crush on her for 35 years. Yes, I did say 35 years. We sat around and gave him suggestions of where to eat, what to do and where to go. 90% of the table were woman so he was getting lots of advice. 

So, how do you impress someone you have a crush on for 35 years?

What kind of gift would you give her? 

How about a personalized ice bucket with champagne, cut up strawberries served in crystal champagne glasses?

How about milk chocolate carmel marshmallow heart chocolate , warm milk in personalized mugs with a dusting of cinnamon on top?

How about a monogram candle, funky wine glasses with a bottle of wine?

How about a personalized heart bracelet and or a necklace?

Impress her by personalizing the gift. It makes her think that you didn't do this last minute and that you put a lot of thought into it.

Wishing him lots of luck on his reunion and hope it turns out the way he wants.

Stay tuned as we wait to hear from him of how his romantic getaway went. Don't miss out!
