My Bliss List

It's Friday!! Sooo many things to be BLISSFUL about today:)


See that amazing boy right there in the suit?? That's MY Jacks! What is that medal hanging around his neck you ask??

So PROUD of Jacks!!  He places 1st in the Optimist Club speech contest last night!! Whoo Hoo!! He now moves on to Regionals April 14th. Scholarship money is at stake here so we are excited:)

This sweet little doggie gives me so much bliss every.single.day.

This is our mini pom Gizmo. I adore this dog!! He spends his day following me all over the house. Love you, Giz!!!!

It seems like our bedroom is rarely 100% picked up. There is always laundry to put away or a pile of papers and books I want to got through. Giving me Bliss today is this part of my bedroom....

Our bed!! Love my country bedspread, bright, happy pillows and Hurkey, my favorite teddy bear. He is nearly 30 years old!!

Soooo happy I found THIS a few days ago at our local grocery store!!

I used to drink a pot of coffee a day. Loved the stuff...but since becoming a member of the LDS church coffee is off limits. This yummy drink tastes so much like coffee and when paired with my favorite creamer it is pure Bliss!! The best part is that before I've had to buy it on-line...now it's available right here in Maryville!

The last thing making me blissful this week is my NEW AND TOTALLY FREE e-course!!

"6 Weeks: Mind.Body. Spirit" I hope you'll join me March 12th for 6 weeks of inspiration and healing through art. We will have our own FaceBook group page to post photos, chat and inspire one another. All the details coming next week!!

Linking up today with Liv...love her!!

What is bringing you Bliss today?? Please share!

Joy & Bliss on Day 5

Yesterday was a creative one for me. Not only did I finish the wedding piece I showed you but I got the chance to hang out at Maryville's very own Art Experience. I have so much to share from that but am saving for another day:)

I was so looking forward to Friday...lots on my to-do list then dinner and a movie with my husband. A treat we've been doing without lately. However...life and all it's challenges has gotten in the way and we must deal with some ugliness today. *sigh*. In spite of that I DO have gratitude in my heart and want to share a bit of that with you today.

I am linking up with two sites today...Joy Jam and the Bliss List. Be sure and stop by to tell these gals hi. They are great.

1. I find peace, joy and bliss in my daily prayers. I am seriously so thankful for my Father in Heaven that is here for me every single day. What a relief to know I am not alone! {and neither are you}







2. Living on an extremely tight budget has taught me to enjoy the little things even more. It's been fun splurging on a Sonic drink during Happy Hour then driving around for 30 minutes or so to talk. Em and I do that about once a week and I love it. She really opens up and shares her day with me.

3. The fact that American Idol is back for Season 11 is enough to bring me joy. Hearing inspirational stories and great singers is why I love that show so much. Steven Tyler helps a bit, too. Talk about Bliss....:)








Speaking of JOY and BLISS...CREATING gives me both of those feelings!! How are you doing, girls? Are you making the effort to do something creative?? Here's a bit of inspiration to keep you moving through the weekend...Enjoy!

Prompts:

1. Take a favorite stamp or two, a stack of cards or tags and try to use the stamp in various ways. Somedays this is what I need to get my mojo grooving right along.

2. Read a creative magazine or book that's been sitting on your shelf awhile. I have a whole creative library right at my fingertips. It seems when I go back and re-look at them I always find something new to try.

Links:

1. Here is another blog with free blogger backgrounds. They have a very vintage/edgy feel to them.
2. If I looked cute in this hat I would so buy this...darling!
3. I need all the support I can get these days and Brave Girl's Club gives me that!! This piece of art is speaking to me right now.

Linking up with Joy Jam and Bliss List.

Happy Weekend, girls!!

Happy Creating!!
