Happy Birthday to me & Spreading the LOVE!

It’s my birthday and I’ll *smile* if I want to… *smile* if I want to! :)

(cuz I ain’t gonna cry!)

I’m not getting older… I’m getting better with each passing year!

I’m excited this morning for many reasons, so let me start telling you why without any further delays:

1. Today is my birthday, and this meant that following in my Kiva tradition, today, I have invested/lent US$25.00 to help another woman with her own small business.

Today I have selected to help Lidia, a lovely woman located in Lima, Peru. She is 38 years old and has 4 children, and she is raising money to help her with her new restaurant. Good cooked meals always sell, and from her story, I know she will do very well. So it makes me really happy to be able to help her with her restaurant that will enable her to support her family and make a living for herself. She has such a lovely genuine smile and good vibe about her. I’m really glad I found her on Kiva this morning.

2. I am also very happy to announce the TWO winners of my special birthday giveaways!

I had two parts of my birthday giveaway this month, the first one was for all my newsletter subscribers – just for being a subscriber to my newsletter, everyone on the list was automatically entered to win (no purchase necessary) a free ANORA sterling silver chainmaille pendant a value of US$39.00!

And the 2nd part was that buyers who shopped in my Canadian Rockies Etsy shop between August 1st and August 25th (up to 11:59 PM Etsy time), were automatically entered in a special draw to have a chance to Win their Purchase!

So, without any further delays, I am very happy to announce the two winners:

The winner of the  Newsletter Anora Sterling Silver Pendant giveaway is:

Linda of Nunofakind on Etsy!
