Share the Joy Thursday–Cozy At Home Joy

From this week’s Joy List :

Little porcelain boxes that I have decorated and filled with a tiny “shh…” rock and left as anonymous gifts as I went about my errands around town.

New hair do that frames my face and the sweet time I had with my hairdresser, Deb as we made me pretty.

Christmas shopping done. And one gift in particular that I am thrilled with giving to a certain 21 year old niece of mine.

A day for stitching and card writing today.

A day for baking tomorrow.

The anticipation of some sweet family holiday time and Christmas morning with some of my favorite kiddos.

    I love the new "do" and I love the joy -- I wrote about joy today too..it's in the air. I love the free rocks you left and how you wrapped them...I love the thought that someone who really needed a gift will find one of these packages wrapped with love. It is what makes you who you are you sweet beautiful you!!! xoxox

    The new "do" is very fetching -- a perfect cut for a beautiful woman and super spirit. You're so busy and creative! I've been OCD with Polyvore, have gotten two chapters finished this month (after at least a month of wringing my hands and sitting before the keyboard, not feeling it come together) -- but I still manage to work in naps whenever the mood strikes. . . usually when I'm bored with sitting at the computer without anything to show for it.

    Sometimes I want to be an 'American' just so that I can wear 'cowgirl boots' not the same over here! Still if I ever cross the water, I'm heading straight for the cowgirl boot shop, then off to look for one of your little rock thingies :~)xxx

    what a cool idea to leave the boxes with the shhh... rocks around town! that is so creative and thoughtful and a positive pay-it-forward action to do. that's inspiring!

    and such a cute photo of the kids!

    happy holidays!
