Hello and Welcome to Challenge 7...the second last one!
Today's Theme is :Happiness
I personally believe that everybody has their own recipe for happiness.
I also believe that all are unique and what makes one happy, might
Not make another just as happy. I also believe that our personal
Happiness lies within ourselves. Sure, circumstances, problems
And happenings in one's life can make one depressed and unhappy,
But at the end of the day, your outlook on life and attitude will
Determine your degree of happiness.
For me, I can find happiness in the smallest details: The feel of little
Arms going around my neck, the soft breath of a whisper "Mommy
I love you". The sweet fragrance of roses, of grass freshly mowed,
Wet tar after a rain on a hot day, my favorite song as I switch on the radio,
Familiar handwriting on a letter in the post, an email from a best friend,
Climbing into bed and snuggling down to sleep, hugs and smiles from
My loved ones, creating... I could go on and on.
How you choose to do this again, is up to you.
I did a double art journal page and not everything that makes me happy
Is listed on them obviously! There is just too much that does!
I can't wait to see your creations!!
Remember to post your links here.
Since this is my last host for this challenge, I wanted to thank all
Who participated, it has been wonderful seeing all your beautiful creative
Work. You have inspired me and other's and I am sure, like myself, have
Surprised and pleased yourself. Maybe you tried some new technique?
Maybe you just dug a bit deeper and maybe you just took some time
To do this little thing for yourself. Whatever you gained from it, I hope
It was good and I hope that you will join me or Kari (or both of us if we
Co-host again) for another challenge in the future.
I would be interested to hear if you would like to do another one and if you
Have any suggestions.
Please let me know here on my blog or email me at: bonnie@vestronic.net.
Thank you also to Kari for co-hosting this with me, it was a lot of fun!
And thanks again! See you HERE all week and then please
Join Kari for the last challenge on Sunday the 25th February.

I love this Bonnie!!! Seeing your happy pages and reading this beautiful post put a smile on my face. Happiness to me is all of my online friends. This challenge has been so much fun to co-host with you:) Hope to do it again in the future. Now I'm off with a skip in my step to work on Happiness is.....

I posted my happiness box canvas and my collections page on my blog. Thanks again for hosting. I really appreciate that you give your time to us.

Beautiful post Bonnie. I share your philosophy on happiness. Ultimately it comes from within, not from without. That's why you find happy poor people and unhappy rich people.
And I love the Art Journal pages.

Love your take on happiness, and love your journals, they are colourful and beautiful. Hope you get your blog problem sorted
Hi Bonnie! Love your double page, the fairy sisters, the faces of your children and husband wafting on the delicious steam coming out of your cappuccino :-) And how you glued your face on that model's body. It's all so fresh, creative and delightful. Happy pages indeed!
I just posted my offering for this week :-)
Your pages really look very happy! I think your challenge is a great idea. If I had more time I would try to join in (though I´m not so very happy at the moment - but it will come back and then I just have to make a LO from that :)) Thanks for the inspiration. I hope everything is fine for you!

Hi Bonnie, it's been fun and i have posted my "Happiness" page.
Thank you for doing this little art-along. I enjoyed all you prompts and theme challenges.
Bonnie
Thanks so much for hosting this challenge. It was my first and so much fun. I've fallen a little behind, but I have a few WIP I've posted.
I love your collages. All of the components really work well together with each other. They really have a nice feel and flow.

Bonnie, I just wanted to thank you and Kari for hosting this wonderful challenge for us to participate in. I have really enjoyed it! Oh, and I love your aprons...they are beautiful. Here is my final submission for the Cabinet of Curiosity.
Bonnie,
Love your art journal pages on happiness. I so need to wonder more into the journal aspect of digital scrapping. Great job.
I just posted the cover of my Cabinet of Curiosity Challenge if you want to take a peek.
