Some people find happiness in the most mundane things such as money, looks, and conventional wants and needs. I heard that to be at an ultimate level of happiness, I need these three activities – laughing, dancing, and volunteering.
I’ve done just that. Do I feel happier after doing one of these activities?! Of course! This weekend, I devoted my time volunteering at Aids Walk 2009.
Aids Walk 2009
Scott signed up Bebe employees, and I signed up Starbucks employees!
Gloria, aren't you happy you helped out the community?!
Gloria and Scott putting on their "happy faces"!
Here's my version of a "happy face"!
Thank you again, to everyone who helped donate money to this cause! Gloria and I were able to reach our small goal with everyone’s contribution. We made over $200 for a great cause to fight this battle. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
This weekend, we also went flower searching in Half Moon Bay. *in a sarcastic tone* Gloria and Scott were thrilled to be dragged into my hunt for the perfect bouquets! NOT! I just wanted to make sure that the flowers at this vendor were worth it. Hopefully, the florist will be able to create what I’ve always imagined.
Trying to figure out my combination of flowers for bouquets.
Doesn't she look super thrilled to be picking out flowers?!
Scott seems thrilled, don't you think?!
….and scrapping is always something that keeps my happy! Here’s a picture of the mini album I created last week. It’s a compilation of photos from my trip to Atlanta that were just lying around in my photo bucket.

…and here are some non 12×12 layouts I finished up last night after our Sunday BBQ. This was honestly a challenge since I tend to focus on 12×12 layouts.
Happy Monday to everyone!
Hugs,
sarah.
PS: Cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater…!! HAHAH! Looks like you couldn’t do it on your own. 😉
Oh, and just for clarification, I know who stops by my blog to snoop around in my life.
I love it! hahaha. makes me laugh. I had fun volunteering. We should do it again. It is rewarding giving time to a great cause.

Great job with the Aids Walk! Your non-12×12 pages look great! i really like the first one’s title. The only other size I have worked with is 8×8 and it is just so hard for me. I like the big space of the 12×12. Have a good week!
