Today I was so reminded of this lesson. I had way to much to do (at least in my mind), most of it was stuff that I really didn't want to do and things I DID WANT TO DO but felt they didn't take priority. I wanted to take pictures for the RED challenge (see sidebar) I wanted to complete my June GiveAway gift, a sea treasure necklace that I promised my blog readers. Well I did do some of the stuff I didn't want to do but then I threw all caution to the wind and did one of the things I DID WANT to do (feeling a bit guilty, although I got over it quickly). I completed the necklace and had so much fun making it that I made an accessory piece for it. Guess what after I took a little time to do what I really wanted to do the other stuff didn't look so big and bad. So just a reminder do something for you that makes you happy and in turn it makes life a little brighter and lighter which makes everyone around you happier.
O.K. enough of my rambling...I would love to hear what you do that makes your day a little brighter.
Oh yes if you leave a comment this month you will be entered in my June GiveAway, the sea treasure necklace that is loaded with aquamarine and fresh water pearls with a matching single strand necklace that can also be wrapped twice to make a bracelet.
Check out my etsy shop this weekend. I have created a few new necklaces and bracelets that I will be listing tomorrow and Saturday.
LOOK at these panels I received as a result of the Birds and Bonnets Swap
hosted by Karla and Beth.
Thank you!
