Month of Friendship, Day 21: Make a Girlfriend Gift

September 21, 2010 – 2:39 pm

friendship girlfriend gift pillow from tinaActually, it’s much more than just making a ‘girlfriend gift’ …

It’s a thoughtful, creative way to express your girlfriend gratitude, to make her day/birthday special, to be an ongoing reminder of your friendship.

All this, and it’s pretty simple girlfriend. Today’s Month of Friendship ‘challenge’ is to make a girlfriend gift. It doesn’t need to be a six-month project, it can be very simple and you can even do it if you feel you’re ‘not crafty or creative.’ We’ll get to how easy in just a bit.

For now, you might be wondering WHY it’s so important to ‘make’ a gift? Wouldn’t a store-bought gift be just as well received?

Sure, you can be Read More »

Top Ten Crafty & Creative sites you’d recommend to a girlfriend!

October 10, 2008 – 10:03 am

Friday Top TenIn my experience, crafty and creative women ‘get‘ girlfriends. They love hanging out together, sharing their creative skills and latest projects, and making gifts for their favorite female friends. Also, in the industry, they share contacts, business ideas, techniques and a whole lot of support.

Personally, I wouldn’t have made it without my girlfriends for the five years I worked in the craft industry. Jill, Katie, Lisa, Vicki, Tammy, Julie and so many other amazing women welcomed me and helped me acclimate to the industry with their suggestions, connections and support. Some of these women Read More »

Have a dream? Start a Girlfriend group! | Entrepreneurs, Brainstorm Group

May 3, 2008 – 6:35 pm

Friendship NAMS GirlfriendsBig or small, dreams are passionate goals that can transform our lives. Thank goodness I have my Girlfriend Group of Entrepreneurs.

And, the people who help us in reaching them, are indispensable mentors and cheerleaders. In many cases, girlfriends are the ones who help us see and reach our dreams. And, when you bring a group of girlfriends together, with the goal of challenging and helping each other, magical things can happen.

I know. Several times in my life, as I was following my entrepreneurial goals, I found (or started) a gathering of like-minded women to help each other. Like my WE (women entrepreneurs) group. Each have different skills, experiences, personalities and passions. Our dreams and businesses are diverse, but our friendship and support for each other keep us together and actively stretching ourselves.

WE meet monthly to discuss our updates, challenges, achievements and goals. WE hold each other accountable and offer grace if we were not able to Read More »

Just a quick Thank You to a Girlfriend

March 14, 2008 – 12:08 am

My Girlfriend Tina DeLorenzoAt the very end of the work day today, something happened that really hurt me. I packed up my stuff and headed for home, still playing over the scenario in my mind. Normally, I would have arrived home and blown off a little steam by telling my husband the situation but today I had somewhere to go and somewhere that I needed to be mindfully present. My afterwork plans were very important to me on a personal level that warranted that I be completely engaged.

On the drive home, I called Tina. My friend Tina gets me. She knows my dreams and believes in me (and them). She maintains focus on the important things in life and helps me to strive for them too. Although she’d never believe it, she mentors me when I deal with important issues and cares about even the silly, little things in my life.

All in the course of a five minute call, I had a better outlook on things and an understanding of how petty the event was that happened at work. So many things are so much more important. Things like love, friendship, caring for others. Things like friends who believe in me and who listen and care.

Thanks Tina. On my drive home, you helped me steer clear of the petty issues and aim for the big stuff that matters, like dreams, hope, love.

Do you have a friend that can cheer you up and remind you of the important things in life? Are you that kind of friend to a girlfriend? Be a girlfriend. Call a girlfriend. Show how thankful you are for your girlfriends!

p.s. If you’d like some designer pillows, check out my girlfriend Tina’s shop: Casa DeLorenzo.
