So I have this friend named Stormie. . .

and she’s fabulous!  First, isn’t she gorge?!

But she’s a lot more than just a looker!  She’s creative and unique and incredibly fashion forward.  (I don’t know if she knows this, but she’s TOTALLY inspired me to change some things about my wardrobe.  I’m not so matchy-matchy anymore, all because of her.  She’s not afraid of mixing patterns and prints and colors and textures in ways that you think would never work, but then she puts it on and bam – she ROCKS it. And I covet it.  Ahem.)

I keep saying I'm going to steal this head wrap...

She has a ridiculous eye for all things hip, vintage and in (or about to be in.)  She’s adored by her family and especially her nieces and nephews.  (She takes each of them on a special birthday date – just the two of them.  Who wouldn’t love one-on-one time with Storm?!)  She’s a do-er and a dreamer and she might just be the most generous person I’ve ever met.  And not just with her money, but with her time and resources and brain power.  Did you know she’s one of only three Denver-ites that have been here more than once to see us AND she’s one of the busiest?!  Yeah, she’s cool like that.

Seriously, she wreaks of cool

I’ve had kind of a bleh day and the post-lady called to let me know I had a package that she’d bring down.  I wasn’t expecting anything so I had no idea who it was from or what it might be.  But lo and behold, I should’ve know, sweet Stormie sent us a box FULL of goodies!

Jackpot!
Jackpot!

Three things you must know regarding Stormie’s packages.

1.) They are BEAUTIFUL!  Look at all that color and fru-fru!  She makes EVERY thing she sends so exciting to open.  She takes such care to make sure it’s all just perfect.  The receiver can’t help but feel special because look at all the time she put into the wrapping alone.

SOOO pretty, yes?
SOOO pretty, yes?

2.) There is always something for every single one of us!  Told you she was generous…

Sawyer got a nursery rhyme puzzle set, which we had to do immediately.

Hey diddle, diddle
Hey diddle, diddle

Wryder got the CA-YOOTEST little train, which sister so selflessly helped him open.  🙂

And daddy got something, too!  We resisted temptation so he could open it himself.  Aren’t you proud?

He's gonna LOVE that steer head!
He’s gonna LOVE the wrap job

3.) She is a fantastic gift giver!  She knows her audience and always finds the funnest, neatest, chicest things!

I have an affinity for accessories.  Surprised?  I didn’t think you would be.  Fall, for me, pretty much consists of scarves, cardigans, boots and cute earrings.  She nailed it.

Yes, please
Yes, please

She just has this keen sense of how to bless someone.  I recently redid a section of our living room so I could have an official desk to do my blog/ministry/pre-school work and these super cute clips are killing me!  I am so in love with arrows right now.  I have one on my “need want Wrex to make me one” list.

My frown has been turned upside down!  Stormie, THANK YOU for being the kind, generous, hip, loving, beautiful friend sister you are!  Thank you for blessing us with your time and talents and for ALWAYS being up for a roadtrip to come see us.  Speaking of which…
