The Magnificent Miracle Party

After my massive decluttering session summer, I have a confession to make, I am still a collector! But my collection isn't sitting on a shelf, gathering dust. Instead, it is contained in this one notebook.

I am a collector of words. I love funny and inspiring quotes and I have been collecting them for years. At one time I had little bits of paper with hastily scribbled quotations tucked here and there in so many different places. Deciding one day that I wanted to gather all my quotes together in a lovely place, I covered a three-ring binder with some girly fabric from my stash and made myself a "Happiness File."

I included inside pockets to hold special cards and other mementos that make me smile.



I collect snippets of magazine articles that I find useful and glue them on pretty scrapbook paper, placing them in page protectors and adding them to my notebook.



And lastly, in my very best handwriting, I added, and continue to add, quotes that hold special meaning for me.



I am including some of my favorite inspiring quotes on this special Pink Saturday:
