DISQUS

Amie · 10 months ago

Welcome to the world baby girls!! You have a lovely Auntie Sara :)

My friend told me today that her little boy woke up asking for me this morning. I haven't seen them in about 3 weeks, and today he woke up asking for "Mamie" and wanted to know when "Mamie can come pway". Made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

I claim ownership to most of my friends' kids, so don't feel bad about using "our".

Wow, how many times can I use quotes in one comment?

Coloradolady · 10 months ago

Oh, darn...I don't know if I made the deadline.....but I am happy I already have people linking in to my Photo meme for February...it does not take much to make me happy!!

Love the canvas!

One thing that made me happy? That I had presence of mind to take a one minute video of the little snowstorm we had today...it's hard to remember the feeling of awe watching the wind whip snow around the house and yard in the middle of summer's 90 degree heat and humidity. Now, I have something to reflect on! Thanks for the chance to win one of your amazing canvases.

Tippa Glover · 10 months ago

Awww! Sweet! I love babies...and TWINS! Just makes it better!

As for what made me happy this week...I found 3 fabulous antique furniture pieces in Waterloo, Belgium that will be moving back to the States with me! Oh how I LOVE them!

Louise Knight · 10 months ago

Yay babies! I'm horribly jealous and praying that God will choose to bless me with twins, too!

Happiness this week was an awareness growing to fruition that I'm happy, really happy - just deeply content in my marriage.

Love the canvas! If I win, please send it to someone you would love to bless.

Jess :) · 10 months ago

Sara,

Awesome news!! :) You have every right to say, "our blessings," b/c they soooo are, aren't they?!

Anyways, you already know what has made me happy this week, but I'll leave it here for everyone else to see. Last night, at 5:40 (PST) I became an OFFICIAL Auntie for the VERY first time. My nephew was 8lbs. 12oz. and 22 inches long. Now, if you knew my sister and her husband you would be laughing hysterically...let's just say, they are BOTH on the shorter end of the spectrum and are two of the smallest people you will ever meet. I honestly am starting to wonder how they even pulled this little guy from my sister's stomach, but they managed and I'm feeling the exact same of excitement as you are!! It's such an incredible feeling!

Anyways, I love that canvas sooooo much and what an amazing piece of art to put up. I think it might be a very special addition to my nephew's little nursery!! :)

Thanks for the chance at winning this! You're a such a beautiful woman!

Love,
Jess :)

One should not compare beautiful twins to laundry (well, I guess you could draw some sort of parallel) but I came home from work yesterday to a previously overflowing laundry basket - and all the clothes were folded. Yes, the laundry fairy was here again. Isn't he awesome? I did a happy dance.

robinrane · 10 months ago

Love the canvas and it made me tear up...I'm getting really soft in my old age.

Yesterday on the spur of the moment 2 of my kiddos, Bethany and Stephie met me for coffee at Starbucks. We snuggled into overstuffed chairs and sipped coffee and chatted about Bethany's wedding and Stephie's baby shower...it was a goo day.
And I promise you when I first read through your blog the little silver link wasn't there, I SWEAR! Obviously, I clicked over later and felt like an idiot when: there it was!!! Beautifullllllllllll~

Michelle · 10 months ago

even though we both got sick, hanging with my little nephew in the park and pizzeria was a joy!

One thing that made me happy this week? hmmm...being used by God in some very mysterious ways.

Congratulations!!

Something that made me happy this week? One of my best friends got a well-deserved promotion - when I read her email, I grinned at my computer screen like a fool and even teared up a bit. She and I have had some job struggles over the past few years, and I'm so proud of her success!

Bz · 10 months ago

What a beautiful saying by Einstein... so true, it is. With (my) post today, this was really good for me to read.
As simple and non-specific... the 'thing' that's made me happy this week is my daughter.

Debra · 10 months ago

Yeah twins. I have a girlfriend pregnant for the first time at 45 after much prayer and trial. Such a blessing to look forward, too. And it's twins!

What am I most happy in this week ... the revelation of unity in my family. Like hearts. Like minds. God is leading us and there is no better place to be but in His hands.

Have a blessed week youself! :)

SAHSHA · 10 months ago

Awww.. precious!!!
This is Sahsha's Mummy. My little Sahsha baby-girl always brings joy to my life... In fact, I think I'd like to share this little poem with you that I came across yesterday...
'Just A Dog'

Author Unknown

From time to time, people tell me, 'lighten up, it's just a dog ,' or ,'that's a lot of money for just a dog.'

They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for 'just a dog.'

Some of my proudest moments have come about with 'just a dog.'

Many hours have passed and my only company was 'just a dog,'

but I did not once feel slighted.

Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by 'just a dog,' and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of 'just a dog'

gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.

If you, too, think it's 'just a dog,' then you will probably understand phrases like 'just a friend,' 'just a sunrise,' and 'just a promise.'

'Just a dog,' brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy.

'Just a dog,' brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.

Because of 'just a dog,' I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future.

So for me and folks like me, it's not 'just a dog' but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.

'Just a dog' brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.

I hope that someday they can understand that it's not 'just a dog,

but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being 'just a woman.'

So next time you hear the phrase 'just a dog'......

Just smile, because they 'just don't understand.'

The Ham Family · 10 months ago

Wow - twin girls - congrats to you and the parents! As a new granny to a grandson born 18 days ago, I know how much fun it is to cuddle and love on newborns. In fact, I had to leave my grandson yesterday and that made me sad. But his little sighs and coos and smiles made me happy all week long. Plus I was able to spend time with both my daughters and their hubbys. Then my maltese, Doogie, was so very excited to have me home after 2.5 weeks being gone. So lots of happy things in my life. I love your canvas and would be excited to win it.

Frontier Mom · 10 months ago

Congratulations ~ twins are so lovely! Happiness....one of my favorite quotes sums my answer well....'There are random moments-tossing a salad, coming up the driveway to the house, ironing the seams flat on a quilt square, standing at the kitchen window and looking out at the delphiniems, hearing a burst of laughter from one of my children's rooms-when I feel a wavelike rush of joy. This is my true religion; arbitrary moments of nearly painful happiness for a life I feel privileged to lead'....Elizabeth Berg.

Be well Sara,

Jen · 10 months ago

My son asked me to come and make a castle out of legos with him. We sat down, but instead of building, he just climbed into my lap and rested his head on my chest. Best moment of the week, that's for sure!

my bible study with the women. We are studying Esther a la Beth Moore right now. It amazes me that things God reveal to me through my daily time with Him.

Well, One thing that has made me happy or brought joy to my week is the same story that Vicky wrote in her blog. I received the email and immediately thought, "what can I do or give". We have so much in the scheme of things that it gave me great joy to give this mom things she could use. My children helped me go through toys and clothes. I went to Kohls and purchased a few new items. The son of 9 had been wearing the same jeans to school everyday of the week because they were all he had. I changed that! Later talking with my kids about all that is going on with this family, my son said they can't even make toast in the morning mom. ( he's 7 and loves cinnamon toast) I told him no honey they can't. We found a toaster in our rummage sale box. By helping this family has brought joy to my life and to my childrens as well. It has opened their eyes to anothers heartache. They know that by helping out is making another family <a href="mailto:happy.

Awww...how sweet. Enjoy reading your blog when I have the time. You are very much an inspiration, more and more as I read backwards in the archives. Bless the twins, I'm sure they are precious. The one thing that made me happy this week was our daughter coming over for supper. Love her.....!!

TBRKO · 10 months ago

One thing that made me very happy this week was when my son asked me to read a funny joke on his blog. It turns out that he wrote a post titled "My Mom and Dad are awesome." To see my son write such kind words was heartwarming. He is 'one of those' boys who doesn't like to say that stuff so it made my week!

Brooke · 10 months ago

That canvas is beautiful! Congrats on the twins... I always wanted a sister!

My stand out moment for this week was leaving my yoga class to pick up my 3 month old. He stared at me for a few seconds, and then a light turned on in his eyes and he flashed me a *huge* grin. So sweet to know he really recognized me!

Kayla Grace · 10 months ago

One thing that has made me happy this week - definitely when my boyfriend called to tell me he made an 'A' on his paper that has had us worried for the past two weeks. He has a really strict/tough prof and this is a class he HAS to have to graduate...it was just a real relief hearing about his great grade :)

I love the canvas! Thank you for the giveaway :)

Gabrielle · 10 months ago

We celebrated my daughter's 8th birthday and she had her guests bring treats & toys for the animals at the local shelter. It made me happy (and proud) to watch her distributed toys to the cats and dogs.
This canvas is beautiful...would love to have it...maybe I'll be as self-less as my girl and give it to her if I wine!

Rachel E. · 10 months ago

The 2-month old baby that I take care of makes me happy. Especially now that he is more awake and responsive, it's so nice to hear his coos and gurgles in response to my talking to him.

The snow and icicles has made me happy this week. It makes everything so beauitful and canvassed!

Brooke · 10 months ago

Yesterday I was doing some grocery shopping. I was pushing my son in his stroller and people would walk by laughing after looking in the stroller. I'm thinking "hmmm". So I walk around to the front of the stroller and here is my 7 month old blowing raspberries (bubbles) as hard, loud and as many as he could. It was hilarious. He reminds us everyday how lucky we are = )

LucieP · 10 months ago

this has been an interesting week...we've been sick in our house with a stomach bug...but one thing that has made me especially happy is that my 1yr old can tell me where his eyes, ears, nose, mouth, feet, and belly are-so cute!

Congrats to your friend on her twins!

Amanda · 10 months ago

Beautiful canvas!

The thing that made me happy this week was going to small group on Wednesday with my husband, and my small group leader's 3 year old daughter runs over and hugs me, then another friend's son runs over and hugs me and I just felt like I was overwhelmed by their sweet little faces and exuberance at really wanting to play with Miss Manda! :) Makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over even now!

What makes me happy this week? Two things: (1) that Jessica Turner is cool enough to post this on her blog so that all the other cool girls that follow her have a chance to enter it, and (2) Listening to my son pray for a lost dog that he saw on a flyer outside of our church. I'm happy that he's compassionate for this little dog and his owner at the young age of 5.

Stephanie · 10 months ago

Good luck to everyone!

A simple thing that made me happy this week other then my new nephew is my boys noticing the sparkles in the snow as the sun shone on it. Seeing things through their eyes and taking the time to notice the simple things makes me happy.

My "happy" story is that I received a few items I ordered from a college student on Etsy. Besides the goods being so charming, the emails I've exchanged with the seller & the note she put in my package have certainly given me many smiles.

Mom2Valerie · 10 months ago

Can I pick two happy things? Cuz my husband and 6 month old daughter both make me happier than words can express. Last night he woke up in the middle of the night when our daughter refused to sleep and rubbed my back while I tried to calm her down. And then, this morning, my daughter grinned up at me with the sweetest smile when I went to pick her up out of bed. Both made me forget my tired eyes and remember how blessed I am!

New to your blog, found you off of J. Turners blog. Enjoy browsing through...but I am not sure I can continue to read your blog, for anyone that shares such good news as two little girly twins and not post pics????? That will be hard to forgive.... okay, okay forgiven already, just post pics of those two soon for the rest of us to bounce with silly joy of that only babies can make us have.

===================

Oh and I am supposed to be over here sharing what makes me happy.....

Waking up in a free country to worship MY GOD freely every day, every minute ....all the time. Makes me real happy.

The sunset over the ocean is like a swedish massage to my eyes and mind. Ahhh love it!!

Reading a sad blog today about a little beautiful girl with cancer and then feeling overwhelmed with joy as I run over and grab my 9 month old little girl and hold my healthy princess.

I am so abundantly blessed that my cup is over flowing..... I mean that. I feel so in dept to my God for I can never thank him enough for choosing my very presence and the plan he wrote out for my life and my families.

Thanks for giving me a reason to be reminded of my blessing and happiness and share with you all here.

God Bless.

What made me happy this week was seeing the excitement of my 3-year-old son when my 5-week-old son smiled at him for the first time. It just made my week and more to see both of them happy. The 3-year-old yelled, "He likes me, Mommy!" How precious is that?

Monday night my husband and I had a small apartment fire. Thank GOD all we lost was our couch and side table, however $1000 of damage was done. It's been such a long, horrible, hectic week and we're trying to figure out how to pay for everything.

Today I got a call from a good friend and her church is donating us a couch from their Sunday school room until we can afford to get a new one. Even during hard times, God still gives me a reason to smile. :-)

I have 2 boys, almost 2 and 7. They always wrestle around with each other, but today when I got home they were sitting together working on puzzles. It just warmed my heart to see that they are able to sit together and do an activity! I totally agree with the saying on that canvas! I need artwork in my house and would love to win that!

A MIRACLE happened this week in my family. Last week my dad had two very large pollops removed from his colon. The doctors, three of them, told him they were pretty sure it was cancer. This news devastated my family, and we quickly called loved ones and family members to start a prayer chain. On Tuesday, my dad and mom went in for the diagnosis and plan of action. The doctors walked in and said they don't understand, but the pollops were not cancerous. There was absolutely no cancer at all in his colon! They said themselves it was a miracle because they have never removed anything that large and of that color and it NOT be cancer. So this just didn't make me only happy, but made me believe, even more, that God CAN DO MIRACLES!

Princess of Scrap · 10 months ago

Listening to my children learn about Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. and state adamantly that everyone is different on the outside, but they are the same on the inside and it isn't what you look like that makes you important, it's your character. It makes me happy to hear my 7 year old and 5 year old learn the principles of equality and be self confident in who they are.

God's blessings have made me happy this week. One thing that sticks out is that I am sooo blessed with my online friends that I love dearly. Everyone is amazing and I love getting to know them! That is what makes me happy. Oh and I helped a gentleman realize that it's ok to have a skilled nursing facility care for his ailing wife as he is ailing himself. He can't do it alone. Everything makes me happy this week!

I wake up with a smile every morning because our resident shihtzu-lhasa apso "clown", Beau-Zo is right there looking at me -- big brown eyes dancing and little crooked bottom teeth shining as he grins at me. He's so incredibly happy to see me every morning. It is impossible not to feel happy around him.

Ok Gitz--- I would LOVE to win !
I know that it sounds CHEEZEY... but I frequent a LOT of the same blogs that you do.... and I have been made happy by your awesome comments.
What made me happy today- was reading the AWESOME quote on your canvas. All cheezy-ness done for now- but I am being honest. :)Thank you for sharing that- and for blessing someone with your talent.

i love the canvase-mainly b/c it's something that since my son was born two years ago, i have thought and cried over many times! so, one thing that made me happy this week was that my son who was born with a heart defect, just had his second surgery and at his follow up today we were totally blessed to hear the words, "we couldn't have hoped for a better repair" from his cardiologist! god has so blessed us b/c both his surgeries, but even more so this last one, have had outcomes better than even the surgeon expected...undeniably god!!!

My happy moment was when my daughter asked if we could be friends this morning. She'll be three years old in April. It melted my heart and of course, I said yes.

Well, besides seeing a blog contest that doesn't require any creativite thinking... I was SO happy to find out how far my manager would go to support me. Yeah, I definitely cried too, but it is so great to have someone with "authority" care so much.

Congratulations!

Hi! I am visiting from Jessica's blog! One thing that made me happy this week was being able to spend today with my little daughter who has croup. I am a teacher & finding a sub was proving difficult...in the end, I was able to piece something together... :)
Thanks for the chance to win one of your creations!

Oh, what a great canvas! My two boys truly are my miracles and they make me happy everyday. My little guy, Logan saw I was having a "hard to smile and get moving day" yesterday. Driving to school he said in a sing songy voice, "mommy, I have a surprise for you!!" what is is baby, I said. "I have a smile in my pocket!" How sweet is that? He makes me so happy!

Watching my two babies (3 and 1) play together always makes me happy. Tonight before bedtime we had some music going in their room and they were having so much fun dancing together and jumping around and this makes me so happy that they truly enjoy one another.

It's crazy. I was just thinking of how I needed a canvas with a scripture to decorate my bedroom in my new apartment!!! One thing that made me happy today was seeing that Harper was going home over at Kelly's Korner. What a sweet little blessing! :)

I'm after midnight so no accusations of kissing up.

What makes me happy is the tons of readers who had something happy to say and the fact that they said it in hopes of winning your beautiful canvas!

Still surprised people find your art so desirable?
