happiness is...

shelia's theme for this round of the circle journal is "happiness is..." - sharing what makes you happy / what brings happiness into your life.

sampled colors from the photo. the green stitching is from christy lyle's deserted island kit (which is no longer available from the digichick). the brush on the right page is from the japanese foliage brush set from designfruit. i think i'm addicted to his brushes.

the journaling is small on the web...so here's the journaling, just in case you were wondering what makes me happy:

...talks that last for hours on end
...small world coincidences
...feeling like you have always been in my life
...the 2007 putt putt challenge
...fishing out my golf ball from the slimy putt putt river
...finding that my time around you makes me want to be better than i am
...eighteen roses delivered on my 3/4 birthday
...valentine cookies and rose bouquets
...five day long dates
...when all roads lead to rainier, life is just as it should be
..."and so she’s smarter, cuter, wiser, and more catholic"
..."and i really think he’s smarter than me. it’s a first for me."
...learning that my parents should be featured in ‘meet the parents 3’
...one of my mom’s famous quotes: “so did you get a lot of ash?”
...and the now famous response, “mom, he hadn’t been born yet when st. helens erupted.”
...learning that age is just a number
...happy competition rocks
...especially when i win
...knowing that the best place in the world is where you are
...and i want to be there.
