Great Quote

Do you have a great quote that you love? I have a lot... I love quotes of all shapes and sizes. My MIL (Mother-in-Law) emailed me this quote the other day and said that it made her think of me. How sweet is that? It is definitely something I appreciate.

My Mom actually tells a story about my uncle (who passed away when I was young) getting quite intoxicated and standing on a flight of stairs yelling that the escalator was broken. Haha!

So, what do you do with a great quote that makes you think happy thoughts? Well, you put it in a Word document, pick a nice font, put a box around it, and print it on pretty cardstock. That's it! I did just that with this quote and then hung it on my bulletin board of happiness that I have in my craft room. (Yes, 'bulletin board of happiness' is a technical term!)


Soon, I'll have a tutorial on how to make that awesome bulletin board you see there! Pretty, huh? It's so super easy!


Also, after doing a little 'research' (thank you Wikipedia) I found out that the author of this quote, Mitch Hedberg, was a stand up comic that was born in St. Paul, Minnesota (just a hop and a skip from where I live.) Too cool.

PS - My favorite quote of all time is here.

I was going to leave you a comment about how much I loved your bulletin board of happiness. I was going to tell you that because of it I might get off my G.M. and do something this weekend instead of just sitting in bed being cynical and mean while waiting to see what really happens in 2012.

Then I clicked "Post Comment" and didn't like my WORD VERIFICATION so I decided if I couldn't say something nice I shouldn't say anything at all. So I didn't leave a comment.
