Sitting in the center of our kitchen table is this pretty Mary Engelbreit plate. One of my sisters gave it to me years ago and whenever I look at it I smile. I think of my sister and how cheerful she always is. It is our choice to see things through *a smile*, so to speak, and that is one major thing this sister and I have in common: our outlook on daily life as seen through a *smile*. We choose to be happy, and this choice is easy because of the joy in our hearts.
Oh, the PRECIOUS baby is Claira, at age 3 months. What a doll! (She's our third grandchild!)
So the plate sits in a plate holder that I've painted a coordinating green to sort of match the plate. I love to use these plate holders, as well as small "easels" all around our home. I put plates in them, photos in them, homemade chalkboards in them, books and more. But when you buy them from the store you usually only have two choices, unfinished wood or white.
So just select a bottle of craft paint the color you like and paint away.
FAST and EASY craft!
I've got one out right now I'll paint RED today, for my Valentine's Day decor! I'll show that soon!
But for today, be happy

I agree with you Heidi. What is the quote-You're as happy as you make up your mind to be-I think it's a Mark Twain quote. We decide every morning when we awake what our mood is going to be. I think it's easier to be happy than to be miserable!
You make me smile!!
