Happy Day!

I am so happy today! I don't particularly know why....I'm just happy. I feel like I have an extra bounce in my step today. I'm working on fun assignments, waiting for fun things to come in the mail (like both of these) and cause I'm inspired...inspired to create, to live, to be happy, and to move forward. There are so many things that I want to improve upon in my life....things with my kids, scheduling, balance, spiritual, scrapbooking....so many things I want to work on. And it makes me happy to be on the road to doing that.

I just got back from Target where I got one of those Real Simple Address Planners....need to get all that stuff organized somewhere. It's such a great size and so cute....brown and pink. You just can't go wrong! LOL! Plus, I got some dang cute notebooks...I seriously have a fetish with notebooks. I buy them all the time. I got a cute cork one that has.......blank pages inside. Talk about the perfect sketchbook! Then some others....did I need them, no. But I seriously can't refuse. Cute notebooks are all that I'm about! :) :) ;)

I still need to put everything away from the Creative Escape. Amy and I didn't make it to a lot of shops - we were really bummed about that. But, we did go to Lucky 15 - loved it! Wish I could open a store like that in my backyard! :) I had them holding some vintage letter press stamps for me (Hudson and Family) that I need to use for an upcoming project! :) So, I was so glad I called ahead - everyone was grabbing them up! I got 'Robyn', and 'MW' too.

They had these cool metal stamps too - they are only about 1 1/2" tall or smaller - Amy and I fell in love. We both got family and 'Be Creative'. I also got my initials. I LOVE THEM! Love the words we got and I love how it inspires me! Good stuff!

Scrapbooks, etc. also had a store on site and we both spent way too much money there. I kept going back for the 'staple' type things that I know I'll use a lot of. I don't have a great LSS here so I have to buy almost everything online - so I spent quite a bit - got things that I know I'll use. We kept laughing about how much we were spending in that little store they had there! Too funny!

I still need to respond to the questions - I'll go through those and do that soon. Just wanted to share this cool photo of my 'Be Creative' stamps though! How is everyone?? Come say hello! I'd love to hear what you've been up to and what is making you HAPPY right now. I love this mental 'high' I am on - I hope it lasts! Hugs!

GASP! Those stamps are *amazing*! Who makes them? Where exactly did you get them?

Fun post -- it made me smile. :)

The new DW Color book I rec'd in the mail a couple of days ago is really making me happy! I love the texture & the creamy photos in the book. Can't wait to scrap again.

Have a great weekend!

Great banner....loving your stamps. I think I'll be a little creative today here at work...and probably at home. Thanks for the inspiration and the link to 2peas. I didn't get the 2006 calendar...but I'm getting the 2007 and the Color Idea book....I have them on my want list...there want #1 and want #2. :)

Have a great day :)

Hey Robyn! So glad you're feeling happy and feeling refreshed about life! I LOVE those "be creative" stamps! Too cool!!! :)

[Wendy Sue]

oooh, I LOVE those kinds of days. The kind when you feel like you could accomplish anything - wide open possibilities. Happy Days...especially the ones for no one particular reason...are the BEST! Glad you're having one! :)

K- Girl! Love that photo of the stamps. I really need to get mine out of the bag. LOL!! And all the other fun stuff. I am sooo happy you are feeling good today! Remember the first step was your address book, so you are on your way!! You always inspire me , and today you do it again with your upbeat and positive attitude. Thanks, I needed a little kick in the pants.

I totally know what you mean Robyn about being so inspired and happy! I'm feeling it too. Don't you love those stamps and that store is amazing. I got a "?" stamp that I can't wait to use. I haven't put any of my creative escape stuff away yet either, I just keep looking at it and get excited. So fun!

[Kirsten]

Wow! You really got your batteries recharged. Okay, you've inspired me to kick it into gear -I simply must get my creative space in order. No choice. What's making me happy right now? It's 1:30, I'm done with work for the day, and I have the house to myself right now. Must get off the computer!

I love those stamps
i have a friend whose father makes the coolest art with these. They used to be used to print newspapers that why they come in so many different sizes.
so cool to look at :)

ok robyn ... can you share some of your excess happiness? lol! i lost the bounce in my step about 2 months ago ... although it's health related (something wrong with my feet, i can barely walk). i have so much i want to work on ... but my body is too darn tired to do it! lol!

i just got my DW color book last night. havn't had much time to look through it yet ... but it looks awesome! and my calendar has shipped so it should be here soon ... love those calendars! and i do believe that i have the same address planner in pink and brown ... had it for quite a while and have yet to write in it! lol!
