Strings and Things to Make a Difference

[Translate]

If it encourages just one heart it is time well spent! #spreadingJOY

If it encourages just one person it is time well spent.

I believe this with all my heart do you?  In our quest to make a huge impact, we forget about the O N E person that had their heart encouraged.  We forget about the ONE person that smiled because we cared.  We forget about the O N E person that decided to make a difference daily and then those hearts were inspired to do the same and so on and so forth.

Don’t forget about the O N E person because that matters!

That brings me to someone that is super crafty and using their talents to make a difference.

Are you the crafty type? If so, let me say right now that I’m super jealous of you but in a joyful kind of way.

I am not crafty, I’m not artsy but I want to be even though I know it just will never happen.  You, on the other hand, might be so let me inspire you here just a little to use those talents for Spreading Joy to others!

It thrills me today to be able to introduce you to someone using their craftiness to make a difference.

Check out how this person is Spreading Joy to those around them.

I hope that you’ll follow along on this journey of joy and encourage them by liking their posts.

Instagram:  Threads for Smiles – with a lot of string and a passion to make a difference, they create projects to lovingly send out into the world.

If you find one of their amazing gifts, I hope you’ll tag them on Instagram and thank them.  Use #urlvd

Look how they are using their passion to bring smiles to the hearts of others!

Go, follow them on Instagram and be INSPIRED! Be reminded that the little things matter and that you can impact the corner of your world!

Do you make neat things like scarfs, hats, gloves? Are you crafty in this fashion?  Will you consider using this gift in this kind of way? If you do, I hope when you share on Social Media (and please do share because you never know who you will inspire) that you’ll use the #spreadingJOY hashtag so that I can share what you are doing with others!

Think about what you have around your home that you could use. Think about the things that you LOVE to do and are good at doing and how you can use those things for Spreading Joy to other people.

If you just aren’t sure, leave me a comment below listing things you like to do, are passionate about and I’ll work with you on some ideas for making a difference! Would be my honor!

How are you using your craftiness to Spread Joy? I’d love to know.  Share via Social Media using #spreadingJOY hashtag.

Have fun Spreading Joy Daily!

    I am loving Instagram right now! It seems to stay very positive. These crafty ladies (I am not one either) contribute lovely photos as well.
