Day 78 

A picture of my happy space, it's messy, but it's where I can create and creating is a must!!

                                                                          Day 79
 Once again, a FB friend posted a pic that made me smile and brought back some really good memories, Bon Jovi was one of my first concerts, back in the 80's with the big hair, they played in Vegas at the Thomas and Mack Center with Cinderella.  I've seen them 3 times and they ROCK every time!

                                                                       Day 80
               New fun pattern papers from Amy Tangerine and Maggie Holmes, love the paper and happy that they were on a super good sale!

                                                                             Day 81
Ashlie graduates from seminary. Seminary is a 4 year religious program through our church where they learn and study from the scriptures.  Way to go Ash!

                                                                               Day 82

Minion Monday, had to find me a minion that made me smile and I love me some Wolverine, so this one did the trick!

                                                                             Day 83
Was looking through my art journal and found a page that made me smile and makes me want to get back to playing with paint and gettin messy!

                                                                              Day 84
                                    Tropical Smoothie run with my favorite girl.........yummy!

                                                                           Day 72
 A trip to the mall and Barnes & Noble, I LOVE books and love to read. I could sit and fondle the books all day!  I would be so happy to read all day everyday, there are so many books and not enough time!  I love reading so much that I once read 7 books in a week and two in one day!

Day 73

Had to make a cute container for my DIY laundry soap, I like how it turned out!!

                                                                           Day 75
               Minion Monday, I found this and thought it was perfect since it was 10:30 at night and I was crawling into bed, which after a long day really makes me happy!

                                                                              Day 76
                    This was in the package that I received from winning a blog hop prize! SO FUN!!

 I came home to a clean bathroom and the dishes done thanks to this sweet girl, definitely a happy moment.

Well, that's it for week 11!  Hope you all have a great rest of your week......go and be happy!!! :D

Dream Big

Hi bloggy friends, I'd like to invite you to join our new challenge that is up over at

Open Minded Crafting Fun, the theme is 

Use Ribbon

that is a nice easy challenge, so make up a card, tag, art journal page or any creation and come join us.  We have some awesome sponsors and some amazing prizes.  You will find that information below.  

I wanted to tell ya a little about my card that I made using A Random Fan's Moonlight Dream image.  I colored her with copics and paper pieced the moon and star. I added the ribbon at the bottom and did a little bow,  and then ran out of that ribbon so I couldn't do tails for the bow, which makes it kinda hard to see. I added a couple layers of paper for matting and some gems and sequins.  I hand stamped the "dream big" sentiment and pierced around the edge of the white panel for more interest.  I hope you like it and will come share your projects with us!

#100happydays week 10

Week 10 already...........wow, seriously I can't tell where the time has gone.  They say time goes faster the older you get and I'm starting to believe it!

Here are my moments for week 10 that made me happy, brought a smile to my face, made me laugh or just something I was really grateful for.

                                                                     Day 64
PSYCH!  I just love Shawn and Gus,  I haven't found a tv duo as funny as them for a really long time. I have only watched Psych on netflix and on day 64 got an email saying that season 7 was now available!  YAY!!

                                                                              Day 65
This man, makes me happy.....he drives me nuts, crazy and a little insane, but  I love him and am happy he's mine.  He's been working and staying out of town so it's nice to have him home on the weekend.  This is an older photo of us, but I didn't snap one of him on this day.

                                                                             Day 66
Homemade brownies using my Grandma Jones recipe.  YUMMY, I layered with marshmallows broiled them and then slathered with frosting.  SO GOOD!!

                                                                         Day 67
OH.MY.GOSH!! I was so excited to see this!  I won a $75 prize pack from Faber Castell!! I get to play with gel medium, gesso, chalkboard paint and gelatos! I've been wanting to get more into art journaling and this will be perfect!!

                                                                          Day 68
            Sweet Pork Nachos from Costa Vida....yes please!!!   Not cooking dinner.....yes please!!!

                                                                             Day 69
I did not know they were doing another season/mini season, whatever they are doing of 24....so to find this on hulu, made my night!! I love me some Jack!!

                                                                        Day 70
  So yesterday and the past week or so the weather here has been a lot windy and a little cooler and yesterday we got rain and dark clouds.  A dark rainy day is my favorite kind...probably because we mostly have hot and sunny!  I sat on my front porch this night and just enjoyed the evening and the clouds, it was nice and quiet and peaceful!

There is week 10!! I have to say that some days it's hard for me to think and take a pic of something that gives me a happy moment, even though I have them throughout the day, it's just remembering to photograph and document them. This has been a fun little experiment and I do find myself being happier and more grateful! So, so far the experiment is working!!  :)   

Go and be happy! :D

#100happy days week 9

Day 57

A new stencil, some cute wood veneer leaves and a few cute flowers!!  Love new crafty supplies!!

                                       

Day 58

Swig...our local drink place, they seriously have the best diet coke with lemon and sugar cookies!! YUMMY!!

Day 59 

I finally made laundry soap!! I've only had the stuff to make it for probably 5 months.  Love feeling like I've accomplished something! 

Day 60

Cute card!! Love it when a card comes together and I get to use fun embellishments and cute images!! 

Day 61

This is just about how I feel at work everyday....but especially on Mondays!

Day 62

Love my cute Minnie mug, and love the hot cocoa that was in it!! 

Day 63

I'm not sure about this, but I went the whole day without a diet coke.  I've tried quitting several times and then fall off the wagon and it takes me months and sometimes years to climb back on....getting through the day without one, tells me that at least I won't die if I don't have one!
