The Happy Book: April 30

1. In My Own Backyard, 2. Spring Forsythia, 3. Bailey, My Poodle Dog, 4. Amish Roads, 5. My Life's Motto- Day 6, 6. Gorgeous Fire Opal ( i want lol), 7. Play Break, 8. Orange-ladybird, 9. Picnik collage 4.jpg, 10. My crafts room, 11. best cinnamon buns in town, 12. 365. 158 Tea

I'm so glad that everyone's continuing to add to our Joy Bank of Happy Pictures over at Flickr. These just make me smile!

Let's check in with where The Happy Book is this week:
  • Bliss: The Bliss book is with Agenda Gal (blog to come) in Alaska and will be on its way soon!
  • Giggle: The Giggle book has made it to Stephanie in Washington!
  • Mirth: The Happy Book is with Ellecubed in Toronto. She's been really sick so please, everyone, send Lexi lots of love and good vibes. She let me know she should be up to getting the book in the mail soon.
  • Glee: Kate has the Glee Book in St. Louis!
I have to say that the Glee circle is still in the lead. Kate is the 9th person in the circle to receive the book! Giggle has been doing some real catching up and the book is now with their 7th person. Mirth is on their 4th person and Bliss on their 3rd. This makes sense because some of the circles started farther away and some of them will finish with the longer distances. Let's keep the Happy momentum going!

Let's keep sharing our happy:
  • Everyone's welcome to write a post about what made them happy this week and share it in the Mr. Linky below.
  • Come on by our Vimeo group to share a video of what makes you happy! It doesn't have to be perfect or edited or even have sound! Whatever makes you happy is just right. A moment of home video? Perfect. Your cat purring? Purrfect.
  • Or if photography's more your thing, catch a moment of happy and share it at our Flickr group called Share Your Happy. Come see what people are sharing! There's family and inspiration boards and rainbows and stars and pie!
  • And remember, you can absolutely get yourself your own copy to work through while waiting for the mail-around book to arrive!

The Happy Book: April 23




Thank you for posting this Nadia a couple of weeks ago! This Michael Franti & Spearhead song sure says "happy" to me! What music makes you happy, everybody?

Let's check in with where The Happy Book is this week:
  • Bliss: The Bliss book is with Agenda Gal (blog to come) in Alaska!
  • Giggle: The Giggle book has made it to Gemmy Girl in Oregon!
  • Mirth: Ellecubed has The Happy Book in Toronto.
  • Glee: And Shelle has sent the book on to Kate in St. Louis!
I have to say that the Glee circle has a serious lead with Shelle being the 8th person in the circle to receive the book! Mirth and Giggle are on their 4th person and Bliss on their 3rd. The Bliss book had some serious distances to travel at the beginning! Let's keep the momentum going everyone. I promise when the books come back to me I'll share some wonderful pictures or a video of the completed books so we can all enjoy!

Let's keep sharing our happy:

The Happy Book: April 9

Suzie's Test Kitchen: Blender Test #1 from Suzie Ridler on Vimeo.

I totally love the range of happiness! How cool is it that Suzie the Foodie's blender makes her happy! Yay, Suzie for venturing into the world of video. Your joy at this blender sure spreads the happy! Everyone be prepared though - the blender is loud, lol! Though nothing gets in the way of experiencing Suzie's joy. Thanks for sharing this!

I hope people are feeling inspired to create videos! You can do it! We love to see you.

I have been having some really wonderful conversations about how much people are enjoying The Happy Book adventure, especially when one of the books arrives on their doorstep! Maybe this week that will be you!

Just a Reminder: Make it Easy to Find Your Happy with Direct Links

It's so exciting to see what's making everyone happy each week. In order to make that really easy for everyone, whenever they're checking in, it's a great idea to add a direct link to your post, not simply a link to your blog. For example, it's easier to find Gemmy Girl's happy flowers of spring at this address: http://craftthesnark.blogspot.com/2010/03/happy-flower-friday.html than at http://craftthesnark.blogspot.com.

So let's check in with where The Happy Book is this week:
  • Bliss: The Bliss book has made it to Agenda Gal (blog to come) in Alaska!
  • Giggle: Carmen has the Giggle book in California!
  • Mirth: Ellecubed has The Happy Book in Toronto. She's been a bit under the weather but once she's up and about, the book will find it's way to Leah in Massachusetts!
  • Glee: Sunny has been having a blast with the book in Sedona! The Glee book is really moving and shaking (which isn't a surprise really!). Sunny is the seventh person in the circle to be playing with The Happy Book!
Let's keep sharing our happy:
  • Everyone's welcome to write a post about what made them happy this week and share it in the Mr. Linky below.
  • Come on by our Vimeo group to share a video of what makes you happy! It doesn't have to be perfect or edited or even have sound! Whatever makes you happy is just right. A moment of home video? Perfect. Your cat purring? Purrfect.
