Little Gifts . . .


My focus for the year of 2011 is to live life to it's fullest, filled with gratitude, and a joyful heart! And I believe that if I concentrate on the first two, I will have a joyful heart! As a part of this focus, I am trying to concentrate on the "little gifts" that I receive each day that I usually don't accept, acknowledge, or for which I don't always take time express gratitude to God. Another part of this campaign is to spread joy! Put a smile on someone's face today! It can be someone you know or a complete stranger, just try to give someone else a 'little gift' each day!

If you would like to join me by putting emphasis on gratitude for and sharing joy through, 'little gifts' this year, please take the button below and place it on your blog or website and link it back to my blog! Also, email me (lifeatcamelliacottage(at)gmail(dot)com) with your blog address and I will put it in the 'Little Gifts Bloggers' blog roll so others will see that you are participating. I will be focusing on this topic throughout the year! Be joyful!!! Becky

A Quick Update . . .

Hello!  Thought I would stop by and see if anyone was still hanging around here at this old blog of mine!  Things are fine.  Today is hubby's birthday and we went out for a nice Italian dinner tonight to celebrate.  As for what's been happening since I last posted:

  • I found out one of my cards will be published in the Jan/Feb 2012 issue of Paper Crafts Magazine
  • I am new Design Team member for another card making challenge - Alphabet Challenge Blog
  • Several of my cards have been featured on other blogs
  • We went camping at Moccasin Creek State Park
  • We took a fun train ride with friends Sue and Tom
  • Mama and I drove to Delano, TN to a wonderful Amish community and bought veggies at their farm market
  • Friend Phyllis and I drove up to Mentone, AL to check out the southern end of "The World's Longest Yard Sale", then had a great lunch at the Wildflower Cafe.
  • I've done bunches of crafting

And things that are coming up:
  • I have three craft shows coming up . . . the first 2 weekends of October, and the first weekend of November - I will be sharing a booth with my friend, Sue
  • We are going camping at a nearby campground in a couple of weeks to try out our new tent
  • I am taking Mama to the same campground in Oct. so we can spend some time together and she can spend time fishing.
  • We hope to go back to Grayton Beach, camping, in late October or early November

I am doing well, just spending as much time working on projects for challenges and for the craft shows as I can.  You can always check on me over at my other blog.  Thanks for stopping by!  Blessings, Becky
