one little thing (besides anything with my kids) that always makes me smile is when I go for my walk on the beach, and a group of pelicans flies by...and those times sometimes happen on the same day that I catch dolphins playing in the waves with the surfers...ahhh, perfect!

How cute! I love all your white space! I'm trying to do that more with my LO's! I tend to cover every inch of my LO with embellies!
Thanks for the inspiration!
Love this layout - so simple but well designed. Some of the little things that bring me joy are: warm cup of hot chocolate on a cool day, cuddle time with dh and dear doggy on our couch, a blazing fireplace, DVR, a glass of red wine, a good book, good food, good friends, and craft time!
Beautiful layout. I really appreciate how you were able to mix all lines on this LO and still keep it sweetly simple. My daughter brings me the most joy. At 17 months old, she learns something new everyday and it's fun to watch her grow.
Lovely layout - the little things really do add up to make a wonderful day. I think the simplest thing that gives me joy is the excited shout of "Mummy!" and a big beaming smile from my 17 month old daughter when I get in from a long day at work!
sweet layout! :)
I love your layout, very nice subject. I have lots of little things that bring me joy, most has to do with my family: a hug and "I love you" from my daughter as she leaves for school, the way we sometimes laugh at the silliest things that happen, my husband reaching over to hold my hand when we're in the car running errands, when the flowers are blooming in the garden...
mommakatx6@yahoo.com
Great job combining all those lines into a simple, elegant & cohesive layout. Very inspiring!
This is super cute and sweet!! Little things that bring me joy- my cute mugs that I drink coffee in everyday, hearing my cocker spaniel sigh as she sleeps, SOS Radio, comments on my blog.
Little things that bring me joy? The cardinals at the birdfeeder in the side yard; my kitty cat laying like a miniature lioness at the window watching them, my morning cup of coffee and my time with the Lord (a BIG thing actually), hugs from my boys, thumbing through all my SB supplies, and looking at all the creativity shared by others!
I find joy in having dance parties with my babes :) We so totally rock!
Thanks for sharing this darling LO - life is full of joy.
What a soft, sweet layout! I love it!
