Yesterday I turned 28. Gosh. Time is flying by. Sometimes I can’t even begin to fathom all of the blessings that have come my way the short time I have been on this earth. It is almost magical the way everything has fallen into place. Last year on my birthday I wrote THIS POST on how I got ot where I am today. I went back to read it again, and it all seems a little surreal. Just a year ago Julie, Jane and I began forming Papertrey Ink with the intention to design & print fine stationery. Here we are today with an ever-gorwing stamp company. Who would have thunk?!?!? I’ve begun to notice a pattern with my life, one little event seems to lead to the next BIG turning point. It makes me wonder where I’ll be one year from today.

sweet birthday wishes to you!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
You’ve only just begun.
Happy Birthday, Nichole! You’re so talented and deserve all your successes!
Happy Birthday Nichole!!
You deserve the success you have achieved. I love your stamps and am thrilled you went the road your talent took you down as oppose to the path you thought you should originally go!
You are so right with how much things can change in a year. I loved your “how you came to be” story a while back, and I feel the same way with my own life. Things this past year have really come full circle for me-in a good way!!
You never know where one year to the next will take you.
Last year my daughter was very ill with Cancer in the hospital, this year while still getting treat ment she is doing amazing! I am thankful for my children and family. You never know what life will bring, and that taught me so much.
My career and stamping has just exploded as well! Im just so happy with where I am in that respect, and continue to set higher goals, and challenge myself.
Life is good.
Hope all your dreams come true
Happy Birthday. =)
Happy Birthday – wow, I wish I was still 28 – LOL! I hit the big 40 this year! Congrats on all you have accomplished this year! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
Happy Birthday! Wow! You make me feel old! You are an inspiration to so many! You truly have blessed my stampin’ life this past year!
Happy Belated Birthday to you! Hope you were able to celebrate a bit. I love your products & enjoy seeing what comes out next! Keep up the good work.

Happy Birthday and congratulations! What an amazing year for you. Your words have inspired me, because I’ve been thinking about starting a handmade invitation business. I want to design and make mainly wedding invites, but also birthdays, holiday, etc. Now, I’m ready to stop thinking and starting acting!
Happy Happy Birthday from me too.
Hugs,
Pat

Happy Birthday!! I’m so glad you included a link to last years post…I live in CT – just outside of Waterbury, in Newtown and of course, am now wondering where you lived!! Small world! Love your work – have been following it from the start! What a dream come true for you! Did you leave any good luck here?! I’d love for it to rub off on me!!! 😉
Best of luck in the future!
