The Happy Book Continued!

Hello lovelies,

It's been a while since I've added some pages to my Happy Book, but the urge to cut out lots of cool pictures hit me recently when I bought some post-it notes in the shape of speech bubbles and arrows. That probably makes no sense, but hey, you get that. I've also been feeling a bit stressed again lately, so I'm trying to take steps to combat that. So, without further ado, here are the results!

Pages 12 & 13. Pictures from Dolly, Grazia, Cosmo.
Background for the left is this crazy Cadbury ad that I adore - goths bouncing around on huge purple bouncy balls is just right up my alley. Background for the right is a picture of chain singlet/garment that I'm mildly obsessed with.

Heart quote:
Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action - Benjamin Disraeli

Speech bubble quote:
Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be - Abraham Lincoln.

Pages 14 & 15. Pictures from Girlfriend, Grazia, Cosmo & Cleo.

Heart quotes:
You can never get enough of what you don't need to make you happy - Eric Hoffer.
Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves - James M. Barrie.

Speech bubble quote:
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us - Helen Keller.

Arrow quote:
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet - James Oppenheim.

Pages 16 & 17. Pictures from Grazia, Cleo and Cosmo. On the left in the sparkly pants is Daisy Lowe, another of my girl crushes. Gotta' love a girl who can rock sequined pants.

Speech bubble quote:
Sanity and happiness are an impossible combination - Mark Twain.

Heart quotes:
It is only possible to live happily ever after on a day-to-day basis - Margaret Bonnero.
Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open - John Barrymore.

Arrow quote:
First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do - Epictetus.

And there you have it. The next few pages of my lookbook/quote collection/diary of random things. I'm feeling much happier already - although, truthfully, most of that is probably relief now that The Boyfriend's finished the testing battery stage of his job application. Things are looking up! Oh, and as always, if you make anything like this, be sure to share it!

Until next time, xo.
