Swappy Goodness & Other Surprises



I received my Wristlet swap package from Tami yesterday and it is AWESOME. (I will post pics later from home). She made my wristlet in this beautiful purpley w/greens mixed in batik fabric that is really rich and beautiful. She also, being from the Silicon Valley, embroidered this amazing "silicon chip" design on the top. It's really beautiful and I intend on putting it to excellent use.

She also put some goodies inside along with some purple fabric and some buttons. I just love it. It was sooooo fun to get the mail yesterday.

And because she ROCKS she also included a monogrammed wristlet for Miss M! I am so touched and I know Miss M will be thrilled. I plan on giving it to her tonight.

And then there's more!

Kelli sent me one of her awesome fruit bags! It's a wedding/honeymoon gift and I adore it. I cannot wait to take it to the beach with me or out to lunch on the island. It will be perfect!

You are both such incredibly talented and thoughtful ladies. Thank you SO MUCH.

I wish the mail was fun like that every day!

Ooh it looks like Miss M liked her wristlet. I can't tell you how happy it makes me when people like my handmade items ... it's such a good feeling! I'm glad you had a good first swap experience. Keep swapping, it's fun. :-)

I figured it out....

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Born 5:32am on Tuesday, April 27th, 2010 7lbs 11.5oz 21 inches long He came before the pitocin which made Mama very happy & he's 100% all natural. It was tough, but I admit I'm proud of myself for doing it! Labor story to come, but first I must eat a cinnamon roll....

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
