It's not too late to join my Project Smile Campaign. Just start collecting your smiles and then join us Oct 31st thru Nov 6th right here at a beautiful mess. You can click here to see examples from September. There are no rules. No guidelines. However you want to do it. Nothing big. Nothing earth shattering. Just sweet, simple smiley moments-- documented and treasured. Here's a cute button to grab.


A Beatiful Mess



I hope you remembered to smile today.

Thanks for stopping by! Let's get this WW party started. Add your link below and then head over to some of my other bloggy friends... Kristi at Live and Love Out Loud, Amanda at Parenting For Dummies, and Susan & Janice at 5 minutes for mom.

  17. You really are a marvelous photographer.

    I'm sorry I spammed you last week. Wasn't my intention. It kept saying my link wasn't accepted, and it didn't show up on refresh, so I finally gave up. Now I know better. Just do it once. :)
