Happy Things~Guest: Frolic!

Did I say frolic!?

Um.....Yes! I did!

Chelsea, the talented genius behind frolic is my guest today.

I have loved reading and following her blog for quite some time now.

She was one of the first blogs I started reading before I entered into this blog world .

She is a prop stylist and floral designer living in Portland, Oregon.

I've said it before, and I know I'm going to say it again.....I love getting to know other bloggers!

You are going to love getting to know Chelsea I little bit more!

What do you love about blogging? I love the community and I've learned that the blog community can be extremely powerful when it comes to creating new ideas or helping someone out.

What is your secret to trying to balance all of your responsibilities in your life? I wish I knew the secret. I struggle to keep things balanced. I am learning the importance of organizing, lists, and scheduling my time better but I am the one who needs advice on this!:)

How do you like to relax or what is a hobby you enjoy? I love being outside whether it's hiking, bicycling, or just roaming a meadow and if I have my camera along, all the better!

5 LOVES-

Cheese, Hyacinths, Bare-feet, Live music, Mail

5 HATES

Contention, Managing money, Picky eaters (I am horribly intolerant), Magazines in a bathroom, Malls

Thanks Chelsea!
Loved your answers and loved learning more about you!

Wish we lived closer and we could have a flower farm together...how fun would that be?

I've always wanted to own a floral shop and create beautiful arrangements!

she is absolutely beautiful! Wow! What great pictures. I love Glee too, and I love her answer about staying in balance. Isn't it so true, I don't think any of us could master the art of staying in balance all the time :) What a fun idea you have to do this, loved it.

“A good friend is a

connection to life-

a tie to the past,

a road to the future,

the key to sanity in

a totally insane

world.”

-lois wyse

“It is as we serve, as we take time to express
interest and concern in someone other than
ourselves, that we are more likely to gain a
glimpse of who we really are and what we can
ultimately become.”
-Gordon B. Hinckley

“Another fresh new year is here...
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me

To live each day with zest . . ..
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!”

~William Arthur Ward

"Whoever is happy
will make others happy too. "
~ Anne Frank

"There is nothing like staying at
home for real comfort."
-Jane Austen

"The glory is not in never falling,
but in rising every time you fall."
-Chinese Proverb

"In spite of illness, in spite even of
the archenemy of sorrow, one can
remain alive long past the usual
date of disintegration if one is
unafraid of change, insatiable in
intellectual curiosity,interested in
big things, and happy in small ways."
-Edith Wharton, A Backward Glance

"It isn't the great big pleasures that
count the most; it's making a great
deal out of the little ones."
-Jean Webster

"Any adult who spends fifteen
minutes with a child outdoors
finds himself drawn back to
his own childhood, like Alice
falling down the rabbit hole."
-Sharron MacLatchie

"Once you realize that thought is
cause and life experiences is the
effect, then you realize that the
greatest way to change your life
is to change your thinking."
-Marianne Williamson
