grow. {gift studio & gallery}: new year's greetings ....

don't you just love this .... "may good health attend you, and happiness befriend you" from a vintage postcard c1800's. so pure, so simple ...

so vintage.

a penny to send ... to think, such joy for a penny.

what if ... we put this on our list {goals for 2012} ... scatter joy. what does that mean to you? and what would that do for another? joy is always a good thing.

grow a garden ... share the blooms.

how about a simple year .... i think we all need it!

and then .... there's always love. like air and water, we can't live without it.

reflections .... it seems we all do it at this time of year, looking back at the last year and having hope the new year will be far greater then the past year .... hope. faith. trust.

let's UNlock ... let go. have some fun. play more.

{thanks lisa for this lock, you knew i would love it & everything else that you gave from the goodness of your heart}

soar.

grow and love, don't they go together {synonymous in my book}

what, don't put all your eggs in one basket ... is that true, so what if you did? or are we to spread our eggs in many baskets, what happens then? how 'bout we fill our baskets this year with what-ever we want to fill our baskets with..... what a concept. is this like a "blank canvas" concept? .... what if we did start the year with an empty basket? what would you fill your basket with?

a must have. no matter what time of year it is .... laughter, big in my book. put this on your new year's resolutions, goals, whatever you want to call it ... just do it! ... and do it over and over again until your stomach hurts and tears are running down your face, it will change your life, big time. i am grateful and have been blessed with a family {and many friends} with a sense of humor and the gift of laughter and i wish that on everyone. a sense of humor will help you through the worst of times, if you don't have one .... get one NOW!

mix it up.

be heartful.

be curious.

be artful... {creative} sentimental.... how fun was all that pen & ink.

time & dictionaries ... what do they have in common? this might get your mind in action.

cricket = good luck. love their sound too.

MiX-iT up some more .... creatively.

lick more beaters ... it tasted sooo good off the beater. remember how fun that was as a kid when your mom was baking and you got to lick the beater/s. wonderful childhood memory.
