Favorite 5 Friday: Words That Inspire

For this week I wanted to feature words that inspire me. I hope they inspire you to be more creative, live life fully,

I used this picture in a treasury not long ago called Salmon Overcast. The words are meaningful to me because I love what I do.
Do What You Love


I find those who embrace their uniqueness very inspiring. I find myself being gravitated to those with different taste, likes, interest, etc., I just like us being different because it makes life more interesting.
Embrace Your Uniqueness


If we let past hurts build up, it does nothing but hurt us. I am all for taking a short time to heal the hurt, and then forgive.
Hold Hands Not Grudges


There is just something fulfilling about creating. I find a wonderful serenity when I have finished a creative project.
Create


I couldn't find the words that I liked for this inspiration...Laugh Daily. I have several silly things sitting around my house that make me chuckle when I spot them. Whether it's funny statue, photo, etc., treat yourself to a daily laugh. These little Dachshunds crack me up...I guess it's because I can relate to dogs in the chicken yard...LOL.

'Daiquiri Ice' by KingMtnTreasures

When I was young my favorite ice cream was found at Baskin Robbins and was called Daiquiri Ice. It was fruity and the most beautiful shade of light teal.

For the next few weeks, in preparation for the holiday season, each Favorite 5 Friday will be featuring wonderful gift ideas from the handmade community. Although I don't have a daughter, I think these would make great gifts.

There were so many cute little hair clips to choose from but I thought this one was adorable.

A cute little tote for her carry crayons or dolls also makes a great gift. With many to choose from there is sure to be one to suit your little girls personality.

A great doll there can be a heirloom. I remember when Cabbage Patch dolls came out, my grandmother started making her own to sell. I still have mine.

A cute and fun beanie will fit right into her stocking.

Anything personalized makes great gifts. This necklace is cute and has a sweet message.
