Enter your name in the comments and tell us about something that makes you happy :)
I fell for Holly one dark and stormy night while i was hopping thru flickr... I found her
art journal pages &
embroidery and i was instantly like "eeeee"! THEN! IT HAPPENED! I saw the name of a small town near Winnipeg (my home), and I realized we live like--- 1/2 an hour from each other. That led to me stalking
her blog and emailing her saying "hi, can we be friends"! I totally admire her artistic range, style and passion! Thanks for inspiring me so much Holly! :]

Supportive and encouraging friends & family are making me really happy these past few days and feel a little bit better about a recent illness diagnosis. And...when my 4 year old insists on eating shock tarts and making a face EVERY time but he still keeps eating them. It cracks me up. And the movie Step Brothers because I watched it last night and almost peed myself, I was laughing so hard. And when you and Holly post new blogs...because I stalk you both...but only in a good way. :)
ReplyDeletemy family makes me happy :)
ReplyDeleteoh....and the oh so cute journal would make me happy, too!
My kids watching a movie with me on a Saturday night makes me happy ;)
ReplyDeleteI also live close to Holly but have never "met" her. I love the journal and her creativity. Happy weekend :)
Being a young mom of three (ages 5,4 and 2 all at home) days tend to bring me down more often then I would like. So I am constantly finding things that make me smile. The one constant are my kids. You can see why http://www.flickr.com/photos/oreofairy/3178104636/
ReplyDeleteOn another note the journal is lovely. Also I enjoy your blog it is inspiring to see your creations. (They are lovely too btw)
So many things make me happy these days... my growing like a weed baby smiling up at me, finding cute cloth diapers for him, having so many supportive family members, chocolate and using my creative mind.
ReplyDeleteRight now I am incredibly happy - I am home on break from college and just made a very late dinner for my basketball-playing high school senior of a sister. Now we are all snuggled up underneath tons of blankets on her bed watching my favorite movie "Pride and Prejudice." It's going to be a great night!
ReplyDeleteShe IS fantastic, isn't she? :)
ReplyDeleteBlasting music
ReplyDeletedancing in my room
I feel like a kid again

that makes me happy

ReplyDeleteone thing that makes me happy? karaoke!!! hehehe
wow how cute
ReplyDeletethe sun on my face makes me happy!
ooo a lot of things make me happy! =] my friends are over and we just made cupcakes. I'd say that sprinkles and frosting make me a very a happy girl!!
ReplyDeletelove love, em
holly is amazing! she even sent me that mermaid she had embroidered with the painting i bought from her, because she saw that one of my fave movie is the little mermaid. :)
ReplyDeleteok, things that make me happy: comments on my blog and when i sell something on etsy. :)
Finding new blogs that inspire me makes me very happy! If you hadn't found me on flickr I wouldn't be here. I love that it's so delicate a connection, pure chance. Now, are we allowed only one something? Really? Not a hope!
ReplyDeleteMy son getting lost in the giggles makes me very happy.
Crisp new bedlinen makes me happy.
Things children say make me happy - they are so honest and whilst it's not always what you want to hear, sometimes it's the best. On a visit my 10 year old neice announced "I love your kitchen, it always smells so good' - how to make your aunty love you all to bits! t.x
When I'm crocheting and one of our cats (could be any of the 5 we have but not all 5 at once)curls up on my chest and purrs under my chin and our lab is letting me use his belly as a foot rest.. now that makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to win this super awesome journal!

LOL, fabulous crafty give-aways make me happy?
ReplyDeleteNo seriously, sitting on Sunday mornings reading the Post Secret Blog with my coffee makes me happy. It's kind of become my church as my "real church" experiences have made me steadily more and more unhappy over the last ten years. -e
The last thing that made me really happy was taking my dog up into the mountains and watching him roll around in the fresh snow. He's quiet and never barks, so I was witnessing a quiet ecstasy. He looked like a puppy again.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat makes me happy? When my 3 year old sneaks into our bed while we are downstairs watching tv. Then when I go to bed I have to pick her up and carry her into her bed, and she's all warm and soft and sweet.
My wonderful and supportive husband makes me happy!
ReplyDeleteMy 10 month old's hearty chuckles make me SO happy.
ReplyDeletewaking up every morning and knowing my family is safe and healthy makes me happy :)and so do x and o's... like in that adorable heart :)

ReplyDeletehmmm things that make me happy - reading all the comments above - its heartwarming to see so many thoughts about family and friends. Its the little things in life that are important and make you happy I think. x ;0

What an amazing giveaway. I am enetering on my husband's behalf - he just doesn't know it. I fell in love with the poetry of his soul. He proposed to me in a poem! He hasn't written in his journal for a while now...maybe an incredibly organic one like yours may inspire him to write again. And that would make me very happy.

:) Thanks Leigh-Ann!
ReplyDeleteI think it's really cool that you saw that journal page, to see we live close. Looking forward to meeting you for real one day. ;)
My dog's absolute joy when she gets a new squeaky toy makes me happy! :)
ReplyDeleteMy GPS, Lola, made me happy. I found out today that she had been stolen out of my van. I will miss her.
ReplyDeleteadventures. adventures definitely make me happy.
ReplyDeletethere is nothing better than breaking free of the everyday routine :]
What makes me the happiest is when one of my grandchildren tell me they love me. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a cool journal that I wouldnt mind having in my bag to jot things down in!!
ReplyDeleteOne thing that makes me happy is Winter weather. It gives you an excuse to be a lazy bum, watch movies, eat junk food and nap all day long:) And of course its beautiful. Hence the reason why I have to go move to like Alaska or something.

something that makes me really happy is when I was younger and I would visit my grandma, i would sit in one of the empty rooms and listen to the birds chirp and the wind blow through the trees and i would fall asleep with the sun hitting me in the face. I always remember that when i need some peace from everything.
Dreaming about my future as a Mrs. makes me happy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

What a gorgeous piece of handmade loveliness. As for things that make me happy, well, there's a time in the morning just after everyone else has left for the day and just before I settle down to doing the dishes where it is just me, curled on the couch, with a warm mug of chai and my cat on my lap. If I'm feeling really lazy and indulgent I'll turn on Mythbusters and snack on some cereal straight from the box. It's the very best way to start the day.

umm.....
ReplyDeletethis freaken* journal makes me happy :D
hahahahahahahaha
xoxox
something that makes me happy: Knitting while watching Seinfeld with the hubs...okay so TECHNICALLY that's 3...but all in ONE action :)
ReplyDeleteSarah M
PS--I totally stalk her blog, too :)
Cute journal!
ReplyDeleteWhat makes me happy??
Listening to Olivia and Kennedy play and talking to their dollies and the love the girls have for each other. It's SO sweet and they will always have a best friend.
Going to the cottage and relaxing, NOT working, just for a day at least.
Having everyone at the cottage together, even though its hectic.
Love Momma
OMG this journal is too cute!! :) *love it*
ReplyDeleteSoo many things make me happy!!! Spending time with my wonderfully creative boyfriend, working with colors in every imaginable way, curling up in the sofa with a good book and my cute little cat, and reading magazines, books and blogs that inspire me! Among a bunch of other things... :)
Love, Tea :)
your super cute woodgrained background on your blog just made me really happy :)
ReplyDeleteMy children being happy makes me happy.
ReplyDeletei miss my creative crafty classmates. this journal is spiffiness itself.
ReplyDeletethings that make me happy are often the simplest things: a huge mug of hot tea, a cozy blanket & a good book. sincere joyful surprise comments & letters. photographs full of light & ordinary things & human emotion.
Walking into the thrift store makes me happy - I feel a sense of calm and at the same time excitement of what I may find. I'd be happy if I could thrift every day. I usually manage 4 to 5 times a week which I guess is still a lot, but I have to make time for the other things which make me happy - my family and creating!

Love holly and that journal, so cool!
ReplyDeleteRight now, watching old episodes of Clone High makes me happy (remember that show?! If not check it out, it's very funny.)
Also, watching 30 Rock with hubs and hearing him laugh really hard at Alec Baldwin makes me smile. (Ok that's 2, but they are TV related!)
Hello! I'm happy about finding this new blog! I love everything I see so far, must explore more! Happy Monday to everyone! becky
ReplyDeleteOoooh such a pretty journal :)
ReplyDeleteAt the moment, getting things done makes me happy.
Something that makes me happy, especially in the wintertime when it's chilly outside, is a warm mug of peppermint hot chocolate. It makes my day just a little bit more cheerful.
ReplyDeleteToshimi
life makes me happy, my husband, my ned kitty, creating things and love makes me happy!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I found you whilst blog hopping and am adding you to my 'followers' list so that I do not lose you.
ReplyDeleteThe journal is adorable - never seen anything like it!
I would love to record happy thoughts in it on a daily basis. It is so easy when times are tough to forget all the little things that make one happy.
My little pet chickens scratching around in the snow bring such joy. Lots of simple things. Taking a tray of home baked cakes out of the oven. Sunshine on a rainy day - then a rainbow. Hearing good news about a battle with an illness. Children and grandchildren. Oh so very many things - I am not eloquent enough to convey them all here. Perhaps with a journal to 'confide in' I might just improve.
Off to catch up with more of your past posting and sigh over your amazing talent.
finding pretties like this in blogland definately is what makes me happy these days! especially since im trapped in a windowless office :(
ReplyDelete...sigh... wouldnt it be great to write about it in a yummy journal like this!?! xoxo bradee
What makes me happy?
ReplyDeleteInteresting college courses that are also challenging.. (brazilian culture, east asian women's literature, and the united nations system are the current ones this quarter). :)
I am so utterly inspired by my google reader (all the wonderful blogs I follow) / flickr (when I have the time I'll go browse around my contacts, friends, groups, or just randomly).. I wish I could play with artsy/crafty things allllllllll day.
I'd love to get this journal, Holly is one of my favorite chicks ...and you are too LA! :) (you are so lucky to live near each other!)
College makes me happy. There is always something new and exciting everyday and I am really enjoying all of my classes this semester.
ReplyDeleteThis journal is darling! I hope I win :)

there are a bunch of things that make me happy. online friends. finding new music. finger painting. fun sunglasses. f.r.i.e.n.d.s. fall. journalling. and the list goes on and on.
ReplyDeletei am just a pretty happy person i guess.
thanks for the give away LA :)
Thanks Leigh-Ann! Sometimes there's nothing better than lying in the sun listening to waves hitting the shore with a good book or a journal to jot down your thoughts. This would be the perfect journal to do just that.
ReplyDeleteAnother fun giveaway! Your blog makes me happy with so many fun smiles from you, your honey and pooches.
ReplyDeleteHomemade cake makes me happy. It must not have any calories if I went to the trouble of baking my own cake from scratch, right?
i love to journal..... i would use it for putting new house stuff in, doing my house up is what makes me happy right now!!!!
ReplyDeleteas a journal freak you know i want this!!!
