Let There be Joy in the House!

[Malinda Neisess]

Hey Gang! I was just at the Joy discussion, met Donelle, and was inspired for this prompt :-)
I just spoke with Florabelle :-) and we think its time to create again! So-
If you would like to join us, we will be creating
"House of Joy" and we would like to see your "House(s) of Joy" also!
This could be a painting of a fantastic house, this could be a birdhouse built of twigs, it could be a house of cards, or even a self portrait or any kind because as Donelle so joyfully put it, we can each be our own house of joy!
:-) The only requirement is that the process bring you joy or that it be created with joy
AND that you bring it to Florabelle's to share!
Florabelle's will have a "House of Joy" party this weekend!
Now, we haven't made our's yet but we'll bring it to the party!
You all know how much I love to post visuals with our discussions so...
let's see... what can I find to show here???
hmmm...

:-) oops, did I do that?
uhhh...well, He does appear to be a "House of Joy" in my opinion :-)
ya see, the girls and I developed a Summer 2008 screensaver and well it has brought joy to our house :-) so yeah, its actually aperfect picture to start us off...
Hey! gotta love me! Florabelle says!

[Malinda Neisess]

OK, we're still waiting for those self joyful house entries... self portraits...???
where's the beef?!!!
I mean, where's the work y'all? Everyone cannot just come oogle over the babe I mean, the beach!
I'm going to church and when I get back y'all better be ready!

[Malinda Neisess]

OMG! It's almost been a week but its been so busy! Sorry, but I never made it back for the party! Florabelle is so angry with me : }

Did any of you complete your house of joy or self portraits?

[Mary Hicks]

Just give me one minute, Malinda, and I will be right back with a very PROVOCATIVE picture of my House of Joy!! (Just need my DH to be ready to download on his Mac...dartted Mac...)

So, maybe I need like...an hour?

[Malinda Neisess]

Hi Malinda! Maybe alll the joy is happening outside of the house at this time, as it is summer!

I will post summer joy outdoors tomorrow or the following day!!!
Unusually busy times lately!

My feeling is that Florabellians are putting something together for ya!
Oh...and lotsa people may be on vacations, etc...even though I am home, I am on a vacation, myself! But will back in a day or two...

patience...soon you will be all thumbs trying to keep up with the conversation over here!!!
