Thoughts for Thursday, Swap Reveal & RAK Opportunity.
our lives are all different and yet the same. ”
– Helen Keller (1880-1968) author, lecturer, activist
Helen Keller was a remarkable woman. She overcame great odds and despite her physical issues made a happy life for herself. Our lives really are all different, but we all want to be happy.
This {REVEAL} card makes me happy. (Click on photo for a larger view.) It’s Pam Klassen’s card for our two part swap. She made the random stamped paper and I created the card around it. I piled up loads of glass beads on globs of Liquid Glass (CTMH). I hand scored the grid lines in the Blush CS and sanded to reveal the white core. I used the Coluzzle oval template to cut the oval sentiment piece and mat. All papers, inks, ribbons and metals are CTMH. Stamp set is Love Quotes from CTMH.
RAK Opportunity:
Post to THIS POST only and tell me (answers found on my blog):
– what my dog’s name is
– where I went for Mother’s Day weekend this year (made me sooooo happy)
– AND something that makes YOU happy or something you’ve done to make someone else happy. Heck, make a layout about it if you want, too!
On Sunday I will draw a random winner (you gotta answer all three questions) who will receive a really cool retired (but NEW) CTMH booking stamp set which includes 4 small individual stamps, no block.
Inky Smiles!
Erin

Beautiful card!!!Doggie’s name is Sadie…and for Mother’s Day you went to Moab.I have something I do for other people that makes them happy and me happy – it’s a two part thing! 😀 Since I sew, I made the wedding dressed for 3 of my friends. The last one I made (beginning of October), handed me some $$ to pay for my work, and I turned around and handed it back to the bride and groom as a wedding gift 🙂Thanks for the opportunity to share 🙂CarleeFiskateer #2225
1. Your dog’s name is OddDog (aka Sadie).2. You & Brent went to Moab for a river rafting trip for Mother’s Day.3. I like to give people ‘gifts’ of the things that I make. I have given my sister, her DH, my mother, my nieces all little mini books, cd books or things that I know that they’d treasure. I enjoy making them & that makes me happy. I also enjoy seeing how happy they are receiving them.

It always puts smiles on their faces and that is what it is all about.Thanks for a chance.cmeyers@hughes.net
yOUR DOG’S NAME IS SADIE, AND YOU WENT TO MOAB FOR MOM’S DAY. WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY?? I AM THE HAPPIEST WHEN I HEAR MY CHILDREN LAUGH, AND WHEN I SEE THEM SMILE OR ACHIEVE SOMETHING THEY HAVE WORKED HARD TOWARDS. THANKS FOR THE CHANCE TO WIN!
I love a good trivia contest. Your dog is Sadie and you went to Moab for Mother’s Day. Terrific pics of the trip, btw! What makes me happy? Spending time running around outside with my DH and DS, who would live outside if he could! Thanks for sharing.
Lets see you went rafting at Moab on Mother’s Day Weekend (the usually pain in the butt holiday for you…direct quote) and your baby’s (dog’s) name is Sadie….and what do I do that makes other people happy…I try to say something nice to everyone I see at work during the day. Sounds corny hunh? Maybe but if you say something nice first, it makes it hard for them to grumble…. 🙂 and sometimes it even will get a smile or two… 🙂
Sadie is your dogs name.~you went to Moab for a river rafting trip~ Oh well since I already did a layout on what makes me happy (reading a good book) I’ll pick something else. I just love to sew and enjoy it even more if I don’t have to do any taking apart for sewing things wrong. Love it even more when the thing I sew turns out like I want it! ( there’s a photo of me and my sister working on a rug in my Fisk-A-Teer gallery)Brenmarie
Your dog is Sadie (loved the party hat!), you went to Moab for Mother’s Day (where no buttes but yours were harmed), and what makes me happy is dancing- when I’m at a dance I suffer from a condition a friend calls “Contra Face”, which is a huge ear to ear grin. It’s wonderful to be moving to music, interacting with friends, and part of a community that stretches from one end of this country to the other….and beyond. If you haven’t, go contra dancing.
Dogs name is Sadie, and you went to Moab for Mothers day.What makes me happy is a beautiful day – like we had today – no clouds, just blue sky, taking my dog for a walk then a play in the yard followed by a lovely cold drink. Nothing better.Christine – Fiskateer # 2264
