Here is another project I did for the Altered Box challenge at Paper Secrets. I have had this box for several years and I was very tired of the paper that it was covered with. I figured it was about time for a change, so I recovered it with retired Stampin' Up! paper. Hope you like it!
In 1988 when this song was popular, I was going through a very rough time emotionally. This song became my motto. I was so obsessed that I bought a big smiley-face t-shirt with the song title and earrings to match. Whenever I was feeling lonely and blue I would play this song (very loudly) on my stereo and sing and dance around in my apartment. Pretty soon I would start to feel better, although I'm sure my neighbor's probably thought I was crazy.
I no longer have the shirt or earrings, I guess I got rid of them when things started getting better in my life. A couple of years ago I found a cute Be Happy button, and I bought it without knowing what I was going to do with it. Today I watched Cool 2 Craft's live show and Candace made a lovely bracelet from her grandmother's vintage buttons. I have a lot of vintage buttons, but none of them would work for what I wanted to make, so I pulled out my "bright" button jar and came across my Be Happy button. My button has found a home at last and I again have something to wear if I ever feel the need to dance around the house again...lol.
I had such a fun time participating in the Operation Write Home's Bunny Hop this weekend. Such a talented group of ladies participated! I enjoyed every minute of the hop and I hope you did too.
I want to thank everyone that visited my blog and all the "love" you left for me in the comments. Thank you as well to those that are now following me. I hope you will come back often for a visit. I'm going to be posting another project this evening, but I didn't get it done in time for this post and I know you're waiting to find out who won.
So, without further delay, the winner is......
