Happy Birthday Dear Friend!

Happy HAPPY Birthday, Dani!

This is my friend and her husband… Dani & ben and dani2Ben Montoya. They are amazing people! Dani and I have connected on a very deep level from the day we met over 20 years ago. We have been through a lot together. There have been fun times and not so fun times. There was the years Ben fried turkeys for the holidays! Oh my gosh! Forget the delicious stuffing and sweet potatoes… all we wanted to eat was the turkey! And Dani’s brisket was better than any restaurant! And then there was the Christmas Eve that we got together and made ornaments. I cherish that ornament and all the Christmas decorations she has painted for me! I am so grateful that she is in my life. I feared that we would part when they moved to Oklahoma…

Her home was filled with family and friends! I loved that Geoff captured this expression of love…

Dani is a hard worker, and extremely creative. When we first became friends, she showed me some

There was a day I could not spend much money, so it was at that time that she gave me pieces as gifts, but now that I can purchase some I feel like I hog them all! Shown here are some of my most favorite pieces…

 

In nearly every aspect of my life are the creations of this dear lady! She is the one who created my website, and we share in our essential oils business. I love that!

Let’s Celebrate with Her!

Dani… potter, weaver, painter, musician, web designer, Reiki Master, creator, crystal loving extraordinaire is happy to spend this significant birthday quietly at home without a lot of hoopla… so I say we bring the hoopla to her! It doesn’t take much but a text, or a Facebook message to let her know that you are thinking of her on her special day… but if you cannot message her on her exact birthday of October 2nd, just know that she is celebrating ALL WEEK! And if you happen to live nearby… visit her at her store in Poteau and buy a piece of her art! Let’s fill her week with joy, happiness and LOVE!
