Art on Products - Happy Thoughts and Designs

I love happy thoughts and designs. I love looking at, giving, and receiving cheerfulness. I planted flowers along the edge of my backyard so I can see their vibrant colors when they are in bloom. How about you. Do you love cheeriness and happiness? If so, you'll probably like what I found when I searched on happy for this blog.

It's great to offer happy thoughts for someone's hobby, endeavors, etc., such as this happy gardening card. I had read a book that had mentioned that plants that had people focus on them, all other things being equal, grew bigger than the plants that didn't receive the people's attention.

My garden makes me happy. I created this painting of leaves from some of the plants that I grow in my garden. They include blueberry, strawberry, basil, parsley, and carrot leaves.


There are many reasons to send happy thoughts throughout the year, occasions and holidays to celebrate, but sometimes its nice to get the unexpected wish of happiness. A card can be sent to wish someone a happy season.


Another important thing to celebrate though, is friendship. Life is so much better when we foster having good friends.


But wherever we are, whatever the occasion, and whatever time of the year it is, we can always find and or create happy. Because wherever we are, we are always connected to the spirit that connects us all.

May you find happiness and enjoy being happy every day of your life.

Art on Products - Positive Affirmations



Here you will find some every day products with a positive affirmation printed on them. It's a nice way to think of a positive thought.

An affirmation is something that one affirms. The best ones are positive; they help the person to feel better and/or develop a more positive way of thinking.

A simple way of using affirmations is reading ones that have already been written, either by yourself or by someone else. To add some fun in reading affirmations, they can be incorporated with images. I find that having them with images is an easier way for me to make them part of my everyday life. : )

With this mug, one can be reminded daily that It's a New Day. You can choose any mug style.



Have you heard of Norman Cousins. Doctors didn't know how to treat or cure the symptoms that Cousins had. Norman decided to watch only comedies while he laid in the hospital bed. Norman's health began to improve and he recovered, just by increasing his laughter, which increased his good feelings. This large poster reminds everyone that Laughter is the best medicine.


Human touch is also important. Do you need a hug. The good news is that you don't have to wait for someone else to give you a hug. You can actually give yourself a meaningful hug. The text on these stickers says, Go ahead. Give yourself a hug and say I am deeply loved. If you didn't just give yourself a hug, do it now, and then say, I am deeply loved.



You don't have to think of something to smile about in order to smile. Sometimes just reading a reminder can help bring on a smile.

As you can see, there are multiple ways to encourage and reinforce the use of positive thoughts. Be sure to tell yourself some positive affirmations before you go, and give yourself a hug.

All the best to you.
