So Happy layout

           Happiness is like a butterfly; 
                  the more you chase it, 
                  the more it will elude you,
                  but if you turn your attention
                  to other  things, it will come and sit softly
                  on your  shoulder.
                   -Thoreau


 I had almost forgotten about this LO. I completed it shortly after my car accident last year. Journaling says, "Who would have thought that it would take a car accident to teach me the meaning of loving life no matter the obstacles." Patterned paper is by Bo Bunny, Thickers by American Crafts.

I'm doing pretty well with my resolution to try something new every week. I went to a big Chocolate Expo last weekend (Layout to come...) and am going to a Spanish speaking meetup group (I love meetup.com! I have met so many nice people!) tomorrow.   

                   *What are your weekend plans?*

What a bright and happy layout! It's so refreshing to see flowers and butterflies when surrounded by snow and ice. Love the quote, too.
This weekend I'll be watching the final Twighlight movie with my daughter and her friends and prepping her room for painting next week.

Staci,
Love this layout. I have a little story about this paper collection. I ordered it and when it arrived I was like...oh my what in the world was I thinking?...it wasn't until I actually used it several times that I started liking it and now I love those layouts...wishing I had not given away the rest of what I had of this paper now!

Love the butterflies they are so gorgeous here!

This is a great layout.
Funny that sometimes it takes something like a tragic event to really look at ourselves and life.
Glad you are okay.

Nice layout. Love the colors you used. I saw the advertisements for the chocolate expo and thought how fun that must be. I hope you didn't overdose on chocolate. LOL
