As the beginning of 2010 gets closer, I find a need to surround myself with small reminders that will help make every day more special…more meaningful. By cobbling together some scraps and found pieces, I created these mini tokens with positive messages.
The message that wraps around this spool reads “Beauty is all around us” – a reminder to appreciate all the wonderful things I come across. To always see things with eyes wide open is an awareness I aspire to hold on to.
Remembering to “laugh often” is equally important to me. Sometimes I tend to get too serious…too intense. When this happens it feels fantastic to let loose and laugh, laugh, laugh. Practically nothing beats good old-fashioned belly-aching laughter. I can’t imagine what life would be like without this tension-breaking, people-bonding pleasure.
Happy 2010 – hope it’s drenched with beauty and laughter.

I love this sentiment, i think it is important that we leave little personal post , for ourselves. I love the tokens you have made and the messages you have chosen. We all need to be reminded of positive notes, like a tune we hear on the radio, eventually they will become an
automatic thought, if we remind ourselves often of their heartfelt intent.

Becky – I too sometimes get TOO serious – so caught up in the ‘shoulds’ of life. Thanks for the reminder. Laughter is the ‘light’ needed to break the seriousness. Love the little beauties you have made.
