First off I just want to take a moment to say how much I appreciate the support from all of you!  Thank you for taking time from your day to read this.  I know there are many things you could be doing, and the fact that Give Love Create Happiness is something you choose to spend time on means the world to me.  It is important that you know I can feel the love and support, and I sincerely appreciate all the emails and comments I have received as well.  Your support has had a big impact on my life, and I cherish it.   Being a part of your day is very special for me, and I love hearing what you have to say.  There are many things you have taught me and I am grateful!

When posting pictures from Whistler over the weekend, I was thinking about how the world is completely full of beautiful scenery.  No matter where you are, or where you live, there is beauty around you.  One of my favorite parts about nature is that it is beautiful in different ways, in different parts of the world.  It is wonderful to see pictures of different areas in all seasons.  I love finding a sense of adventure through photos.  

If you have a picture from where you are, or a place that you have traveled that means a lot to you I would love for you to send it in to share on the blog.  You can email it to wendy @ givelovecreatehappiness . com (sorry for all the spaces so you can’t click the email, I have been getting a lot of automated emails.  Apparently I have a lot of inheritance and prize money to claim around the world.) 

It would be great to include the area the photo was taken, and the name you would like the photo accredited to.  It can be a nickname if you are more comfortable with that.  If you would like me to create a link to your blog or website you could include the link too.  Please feel free to do this at any time down the road should you come across a photo you love.  It would give me great pleasure to share the beauty of the world seen through your eyes.

Speaking of a beautiful world has anyone seen Disney’s Earth movie yet?  If so, what do you think of it?  I have been meaning to rent it for some time now.  I am thinking it would be a good family movie.  Planet Earth is another one I have not seen yet and would like to.  What do you think about that one?

Besides beautiful photos, another thing I really appreciated was some of the artwork I saw at Whistler.  There were many painting I absolutely loved.  Isn’t it great when a photo or art can provoke emotions, especially happy ones!  My son for one loves to do art projects, color, painting, stamps, cutting paper, you name it, and he loves it.  For that reason I thought I would share with you one of my favorite products for kids, Color Wonders.

I Color Wonders.  It is clear and mess free because it only works on the special paper.  After Christmas there were some great deals where you could get some Color Wonder kits for $3.  There are marker and painting sets.  It is great for the car, but my favorite thing to do is to leave a bucket of Color Wonders out on the table.  When my son gets bored or isn’t getting enough attention because I am feeding his sister or taking care of something, he loves to go over and work on his Color Wonder art.

Doing other art projects are great, but I prefer to do them together because Big Brother is so young he needs a little more guidance with glue, scissors, and real markers and paint.  The Color Wonders are fantastic to leave out because you don’t have to worry about what is going to happen to your house, or what kind of a cleanup the art will entail.  I really should buy some stock in them.  In case any of you are looking for something for your children, grandkids, nieces or nephews, I highly recommend giving them a try.

Where is a place you find beautiful?

I heart Color Wonder stuff too! May I suggest you steer clear of the Color Wonder finger paints though, if you haven't already given them a try, (they are a bit like Vaseline - so while there is no color mess to deal with, there is just sticky petroleum mess to worry about!). Sounds like your vacay was wonderful... so happy for you!

Wendy, your posts are wonderful...I love your outlook on life and the world! My family has a house in NH and has been skiing there for years...I love to just look out of the windows and stare at the snow covered mountains in the distance...it is so beautiful and still and calm. It is a great change of pace from living in the city to spend out weekends up there. I took some photos and put them on my blog the other day!
