And I just love your dresser, before was nice too but I have just done the 'reno' thing and that white one would look lovely in my new space.<br />My 'top nice list person' would be my friend Avril who doesn't need a reason to just turn up and help out. Just like a mind-reader. Cannot imagine what life would be like without a friend like that.<br />Happy Christmas to you and your family and I wish you (and WMS) great happiness, good health and success in the New Year.TrinaRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069243521216547989.post-76703003275921883952011-12-21T01:27:59.785+00:002011-12-21T01:27:59.785+00:00At the top of my "nice" list is Rachelle...At the top of my "nice" list is Rachelle M., my lead volunteer room parent for my kindergarten class last year.

When i asked him why he replied 'well you can't do all those Save The Dates by yourself and I want to get them just right!' bless him!

She has been taking care of my widowed father for about the last 4 years without any complaints. He has Asperger's Syndrome so he can be hard to be around, but she does it cheerfully and is always looking out to protect him and looking out for his best interest. Her care of him has taken a tremendous load off the rest of us siblings!!!Helen Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11262129294254896564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069243521216547989.post-29434578647012924082011-12-20T17:10:49.419+00:002011-12-20T17:10:49.419+00:00The dresser looks amazing!

Even though I may be biased, she is one of the nicest people I know and her caring and thoughtful nature is recognised by everyone who knows her. She now teaches and this year has had a most challenging class in her inner city school. In spite of the difficulties, she provides fun and interesting lessons and is gradually winning them round. I hope this little testament encourages her to keep at it next year.Inkyfingershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03726907612383132666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069243521216547989.post-3272400678492544072011-12-20T11:14:45.148+00:002011-12-20T11:14:45.148+00:00Claire, Wow! what a beautiful dresser.

You are so lucky to have an amazing neighbour who lovingly transformed your piece of furniture.<br /><br />Top of my Nice List without having to bat an eyelid would be MY DARLING DAUGHTER MICHELLE :) who incidently introduced me to paper crafting :) Although married and living quite a distance away, when we visit each other, we still find some qaulity time to craft together. My DD phones us up almost every day. We chat about daily goings on, what crafting projects we`re working on and she checks if i`m ok due to my ill health, her Dad with his back problems<br />and has a chat with her Brother Steven who has special needs.<br /><br />Not only am i BLESSED with a TRULY SPECIAL DAUGHTER, this Christmas is extra special because she is pregnant, and our first Grandchild is due Christmas week.<br /><br />THANKS CLAIRE for a chance to win this amazing give away.

She has had quite some challenges in her life this year which were not easy and which brought many changes for her.<br />But in spite of all that, she always found the time to challenge us in the forum with new (weekly or monthly) inspirations and she always is a true source of inspiration for me.<br /><br />Another person on my 'Nice List" is, of course, my husband who supports my hobby and very often fullfils me a specialy wish in form of stamps or supply material. But he is on my 'Nice List' every year, not especially this one *lol*.<br /><br />Claire, thanks for the chance to win this big prize and Merry Christmas to you and your family.<br /><br />Kind regards<br />CarolaCarolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532806541945084352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069243521216547989.post-73598017648115351372011-12-20T04:03:42.419+00:002011-12-20T04:03:42.419+00:00I really have to put two people at the top of my n...I really have to put two people at the top of my nice list this year: my friends Erinn and Serah. We've been singing together for the past 1-1/2 years and have grown really close as we've performed all over the country. They are just like sisters to me now and they love me, flaws and all. Some long-cherished dreams have come true because of these two wonderful girls. :) But their friendship is the best part of all.Annheidelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00252752877526728814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069243521216547989.post-66800006496531910752011-12-20T01:25:03.549+00:002011-12-20T01:25:03.549+00:00I have to nominate my lovely blog pal and crafty s...I have to nominate my lovely blog pal and crafty shopping angel Yuki in Hawaii. As well as WMS I'm also addicted to a certain stamp company in the US whose shipping costs are astronomical! Every month Yuki orders my stamp fix and posts it on to me at a fraction of the cost I would have to pay otherwise. And not only me, she also orders for half a dozen other addicts too. Yuki certainly deserves her place at the top of my crafty nice person list. It would be lovely to win her some stamps to repay her kindness a little.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07549006313944585453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069243521216547989.post-53186611321694909762011-12-20T00:36:59.850+00:002011-12-20T00:36:59.850+00:00Love the idea of the Nice List!

I can't tell you how encouraging, kind, and just plain fun these gals are. So glad to have met them! <br /><br />And of course, I would be remiss if I didn't give a shout out to the guy who is perpetually at the top of my nice list, my husband Dave. This year has been very difficult for me with an sick parent and super busy job. Without him, I'd be lost. <br /><br />Happy Holidays!JJ Boltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17587368847645390054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069243521216547989.post-72163493447448375182011-12-19T23:37:31.463+00:002011-12-19T23:37:31.463+00:00My mother is at the top of my Nice List.

She is church secretary, Optimist Club newsletter editor and helps prepare the Optimist scrapbook every year. She and my father were looking after our two boys and dog in late November when my father took a heart attack. Not only did she manage to be with my father, but was also able to still look after our boys. To top it all off, our dog then had a seizure which she handled with expertise. Dad has since had a triple bypass and Mom has been there with him all the way...for encouragement and for telling him to slow down. I can see why their 45 year marriage (just celebrated November 12th)has lasted this long. My mother is my greatest role model...and I love her very, very much.Michie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14365487102811826829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069243521216547989.post-21918916623092037622011-12-19T22:07:29.435+00:002011-12-19T22:07:29.435+00:00Top of my list is hubby - he puts up with my craft...Top of my list is hubby - he puts up with my crafting, and doesn't say too much on my craft spending budget.

I have been made aware of so many wonderful people as a result of the community that has sprung up around Claire. One person stands out, though - a fellow fan. Deb Frings is always ready with a sweet, kind word, a generous compliment, and a willingness to cheer a fellow stamper on. I enjoy her blog and all her creations, most of which feature WMS in some fashion. The WMS world is a bit better place for her enthusiastic support. So ths year, my Nice List has a shining star atop it named Deb. :-)Charmaine Stackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02035694190265995283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069243521216547989.post-86574111470444634352011-12-19T19:18:19.608+00:002011-12-19T19:18:19.608+00:00Wow, Mr. G did a wonderful job!

We've been friends for 25 years now and we have seen each other through good times and bad. Even though we live a few hours apart, we've made a special effort the last few years to make time for visiting each other. My husband and I just recently spent a weekend with her in November. She knows that I'm currently on a weight loss program and she was SO supportive, cooking things that would not mess up my progress. She said that she "wanted to be mindful of my diet needs". How sweet! Such a good good friend.LaurieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05470679716074987855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069243521216547989.post-83792741875769070382011-12-19T18:19:34.183+00:002011-12-19T18:19:34.183+00:00What a gorgeous dresser (and such a *nice* neighbo...What a gorgeous dresser (and such a *nice* neighbour you have!:0) Congrats on the Moxie Fab shout out too! Top of my nice list this year would be my daughter. I always imagined the teen years to be a nightmare, not a time when you have these bigger and incredibly kind, helpful people in your life.

I've just recently discovered your stamps and to say I'm in love is an understatement! :O) <br /><br />Definitely top of my "NIce List" this year would be my other half - he's been an absolute star this year! In April this year my mum had a massive heart attack and he managed to get all 6 of us (me, him and the 4 kids) over to Belfast to be with her. Sadly we lost her in June - he not only took the time off work to stay at home with them while I flew over to arrange the funeral but afterwards he almost singlehandedly helped with the difficult job of clearing her house - endless trips to charity shops etc as well as putting up with me in my emotional state. Now I know this al may sound obvious - it's what other-halfs are meant to do at that time but he really did go above and beyond for me. And it's not the first time! 9 years ago he gave up his job to open a craft shop here on the island - because of his beleif and trust in me. He's sacrificed so much for both me and our children and although he's not really into stamping and such he did love your stamps as well and said he might even treat me in the new year. This way I could even save him some money ;o)<br /><br />Ooh and I love your dresser too - I've got a small one I've been thinking of decorating and you've inspired me to get the paints out in the new year! Health to enjoy!Beatnixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318050031485514113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069243521216547989.post-74664201146317158902011-12-19T09:15:50.330+00:002011-12-19T09:15:50.330+00:00Your dresser is wonderfully transformed into a bea...Your dresser is wonderfully transformed into a beautiful piece. <br />My nice list person is my elder daughter Poorvi, who turned 15 this year.

We met two years ago at a shoebox swap and quickly became friends after we discovered that we live right now the road from one another. She is the sweetest person I have ever met! For all kinds of occassions she makes me cards that absolutely brighten my day and she's always there to selflessly support me. For example, she volunteered very early in the morning for a lung cancer race that I organized, no questions asked...even though she has so many other responsibilities of her own. She is a fantastic listener and she's so fun! It's at the point where I can't imagine this life, especially this crafty life, without her.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00180024207625522143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069243521216547989.post-88363358679975526642011-12-19T03:23:58.350+00:002011-12-19T03:23:58.350+00:00On top of my list is my grief counselor who has be...On top of my list is my grief counselor who has been there for me every time I needed someone to talk to.

My family was not there when I needed someone and he was there when I needed to talk. I will never be able to repay him for all the times we talk. It's been 3 years but ever Christmas is really hard to deal with. He listens without any judgement even when I now I talk about Design Teams that I tried out for and don't make. He tells me I will be on a DT someday but I'm disappointed every time. So he really puts up with me now!Jacqueline Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168366519642596771noreply@blogger.com
