Suminagashi: The Anciet Japanese Art

Graphic from Pugly Pixel.

Hello Hapi People!

My main goal on this blog has always been to share things that make me happy. Today I want to share a  hapi discovery I made this past weekend. I have always been a lover of art in every form, including visual art. Through my work yesterday on the blog design and using Pugly Pixel, I discovered some graphics in Pugly's store. The graphics were these beautiful marbled swirls called Suminagashi. I'd never heard the term before so I took to Google to find some answers lol. Here is what I discovered:

Suminagashi (墨 流 し) or "floating ink" is the process of marbling plain paper with water and ink to transform it into something vibrant and colorful. (from suminagashi.com)

Weekend DIY - Hanging Wall Decor for Beginners

Hello Hapi People!

It's Friday and its time for a weekend project idea! Do you have a picture, art, shelves or something that you have been wanting to hang on the wall but don't know how hang it? Well, I am going to show you a secure way to hang a heavy item on your wall. I know a lot of wall decor and shelves can come with kits and hardware to use, but I know I have lost pieces and have items that have no instructions. I also know that even with instructions, it can be hard to do home improvement without experience. I am going to show you step-by-step on how to securely hang an item on your wall. 

There is no need to fear tools either - If I can do it, you can do it! So, without further ado, Let's Get Started!

My boyfriend gave me this mason jar organizer in March for my birthday 

and I am finally hanging it up!

A Word You Didn't Know Existed ...

Hello Hapi People!

I hope, if you are in the U.S., that enjoyed a three-day weekend or that work wasn't took bad on Monday. If you aren't in the U.S. I hope the week started off well for you.

Today isn't going to be a Wreck This Journal post but I do want to talk about something that was inspired by my Wreck This Journal. On one of the pages in the journal you are asked to "Write One Word Over And Over". For my journal I wanted to use a unique word that had significant meaning to me. I gave my word a lot of thought and scoured the interwebs ... and when I found it, I just had to share it.

SONDER - (n.) the realization that each passerby has a life as vivid and complex as your own

This took a couple of days but was very satisfying. Yes, I messed up at one point lol

Wreck This Journal: #1

Hello Hapi People!

I told you guys I order a Wreck This Journal a couple of weeks ago and ... it finally came! I got it in the mail a couple of days ago but I want to do a few things in it before I showed you. If you don't know what a Wreck This Journal is, its a book that contains instructions on every page with ways to be creative and even destroy in the book. I will post pics of my book every week or so to show the progress. Here are some pics of the book and the little bit I've done so far ...

Here is the Front and Back cover. 

The back tells you to mail the book to yourself. 

Friday: Feedback

Hello Hapi People!

This has been a long, busy and even emotional week. I don't want to come here and complain though, I want to share in self expression with you. I am going to ask for your involvement and feedback. I have ordered a Wreck This Journal and want to know if you would like me to share my entries in the journal. If you don't know what a Wreck This  Journal is I will explain below. Please let me know on the blog, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Pinterest.

Positivi-tea

Hello Hapi People!

I'm looking at my calendar and its nearly the end of April - I can hardly believe it. This spring has been a beautiful one with wonderful weather here in Florida. Spring is always a time of change and this spring definitely has been a change in pace for me. Life has presented new challenges and delights that I have not before experienced. From challenges with my voice and school, thinking about the future, and having a serious and healthy relationship ... its a lot to take in. I believe though, that I let the challenges blind me from the opportunities and positivities in my life. I do try to look for the positives and blessings in my life. I thankfully have people in my life (who are blessings themselves) who remind me of them.
