Happiness is...

Each season I change out the paper and pictures in this huge frame (above). I always put my favorite scrapbook papers of the moment and current pictures of my family. I had been hoarding my new Basic Grey papers because as Marilyn said in my comments "they're too beautiful to cut up!" I totally agree. So I decided that I wanted to look at these beautiful papers all the time. I put them in the frame with pictures of people that I love and hung it on my wall. This hangs on a big open wall in our living room that you see as soon as you walk in the house. It makes me happy....the colors, the flowers, the people, making it all into art. So this is what I have to show for Bonnie's happiness prompt:) It makes me smile.

As far as the swap is concerned, I'm so flattered that people want to swap. I want to make sure I get my swap sent out to everyone interested.
Today I mailed to:
Susan E.
Hagit R.
Debbie S.
Delsie C.
Michelle G.
Laurie R.
Dawn R.
Jeanne S.
Elizabeth S.
Natalie H.
Angela D.
Vickie C.
Maria H.
Angie B.
Ellen P.
Carol R.
Michelle L.
Joan E.
Bonnie

Hi, Just making sure you've got me too (Laurie G.) :) I'm gathering some special somethings for you and will mail off soon.

Thanks for sharing the pretty papers--I'm tracking them down in my area.

Thanks for the post Kari-very excited! Yours will be off soon! I made it yesterday.
Hardly anyone has left a comment on my blog for challenge 7! I think the excitement of all has worn off! Either that or they are all busy madly creating!! (?) looking forward to Sundays prompt! Have a super day!

Ps. adore your huge frame with your scrap pages-what a beautiful idea!
