This week’s word is Happiness

* state of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy

* emotions experienced when in a state of well-being

For me, happiness is spending time with my kids, and luckily for everyone in my house, happiness is also my kids spending time with each other. I created this layout of my kids playing in the apple orchard while spending an afternoon picking fruit.

Don’t forget that if you complete any sketch puzzle challenge, Monday challenge, wordy Wednesday challenge or submit a tip for Tip Tuesday then you will automatically be entered to win this month’s Blog Prize!! So get scrapping and either send them to Tara at ( thynner5@yahoo.ca ) or link them in the blog comments.

This week’s word is … Laugh

* the sound of laughing
* a facial expression characteristic of a person laughing; “his face wrinkled in a silent laugh of derision”
produce laughter
* joke: a humorous anecdote or remark intended to provoke laughter; “thanks for the laugh”

I believe that laughter is a very important part of life and that we all should laugh many times a day.

This layout shows my daughter sliding across the lawn face first in a huge splash of water. My son and I were laughing our heads off as we watched her fearlessly dive again and again on the water slide.

“Laugh a lot, and when you’re older, all your wrinkles will be in the right places”

“If every word I said could make you laugh, I’d talk forever…”

Have a great day!

This word can be used in so many ways because it means so many things. I made the following layout for Scrapdango using the Sugar Kit. It has been a big surprise to me just how far this kit goes and just how much I love it! I found an Ad in a magazine and posted an Ad challenge for their Inspirational Crop which is going on this week. I used the Life as my title choice in this layout.
