Always Be Kinder Than Necessary
Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by the blog today. Happy Saturday! We’re very happy to have first time guest to our blog, Dana Joy, as our featured artist on the blog today! I just love the happy colors she used to go with the fabulous sentiment from SugarPea Designs. Be sure to read on and enjoy!
This (Kindness Matters) is one of my favorite stamp sets from SugarPea Designs. It’s one that is always within arm’s reach in my craft room. The sentiments just remind me that there are still good people in the world.
I love making cards and sharing crafty happiness on a daily basis with friends, family and even strangers. So recently on a daily trip for coffee and chocolate frosted donuts with sprinkles I decided to make a card for the young lady who gets my order right every single time. She does this with a huge smile on her face and a cheerful hello and goodbye. Well she deserved a little bit of love today. Just that little act of kindness made this young lady’s day. Not only did she break out in a happy giggle but so did I. She ran around the counter just to give me a hug. See, that to me is what kindness is all about. Making someone’s day just a little bit brighter.
Sharing kindness is easy. It’s absolutely FREE to give. Doing this on a daily basis not only makes me feel good, it also does my heart some good too!
