Random act of kindness ❤ these moments are so precious and really make an impact in peoples lives. We all need to feel appreciated, loved and that we matter. Kindness is contagious and I LOVE IT! I want to share one of my recent moments because my RAC was a boomerang back to me and it seriously makes my heart smile just thinking of it 😊 Stopping to grab a bagel from a drive thru coffee stand, the lines were long, so my hubby parked and I went to the walk up window. Right after I place my order a truck drove up, as I looked over, I noticed it was an older gentleman who I used to see all the time at my previous job (working with the public). This gentleman always had the most kindest smile, and had such a genuine kindness about him and I realized as he pulled up to the window that I really missed and appreciated that 🥰 so I quickly opened the walk up window and asked to have his purchase added to my bill. When he was handed his coffee, he was told that it was paid for, and he looked back at me with his kind smile and said that was a wonderful surprise and that it really made a difference for his day. Wow, as I’m typing up this insane book 😅 I’m getting tears. Kindness is so important and really not that hard, sometimes it’s just a simple smile and a warm touch of friendship. Thank you for encouraging this! You are a beautiful soul!

[@barbara-dj1uo]

I’m commenting to you before I even finish your video. I have spent hours visiting thrift stores looking for wildflower books to use in card making. You showed us the wildflower book and I fell in love! I went to Amazon and thought if it’s less than $15, I’m getting it! TaDa!!!!! It’s coming to my house tomorrow! Thanks, Cathy! You’re the BEST! I love love love you!!!!!

[@CathysGardenllc]

Yea! Barbara! 💐🥰

[@YvetteQuale]

Such a cute project. Congrats to the winner!! My RAK this week was that I "faced" a shelf at the grocery store.....meaning when I grabbed my item from the shelf I pulled the item behind it forward to the front of the shelf. A young lady that works there was stocking the shelf just below and to the left of me. She got a big smile on her face and said, "Thank you for doing that!" I told her that having working retail for 30 years prior to my current job, that I "get it" and will "face" items when I shop, often without even realizing it. 😊

[@CathysGardenllc]

[@paulamarshall3281]

This is beautiful, with the flowers, butterfly' and lace, I will do this as I already have that book,that will look beautiful in any junk journal, I do love this😊💐❤️

[@simonedk96]

How clever with the seam ripper! I happen to have that book! How fun is that 😀 And the specimen card turned out beautifully! Oh my, Cathy, what a special loving person you are, spreading an act of kindness and encouraging others to do so too! I try to do at least one special act of kindness everyday. Often it is just tiny, like giving a smile, saying ‘hello’ and making a small chat with elderly people. It makes me happy too, when I see their reaction! ❤

Thank you for such a great video. I have the same book and I love it so much. It's perfect for what we create. The specimen cards are absolutely gorgeous! My RAK was letting 2 people with far less items in front of me at the checkout. It does leave one feeling great, especially when both were so thankful.

[@libertylost8286]

That is a cool book. Is it vintage? I love old books with flower and animal illustrations. I like how you think through what you are making. It is a sign of great talent. You let you work speak to you. That is ok. 😁. I would like to learn how to work with photos of flowers and animals. There are tons of photos in old books, but I don’t buy them because I don’t know how to incorporate them into journal ephemera. Maybe you could teach us something on that? Hint hint. 🤣

[@CathysGardenllc]

💟💟💟 HAHAH Cathy. I do the SAME thing on in my videos when doing a tutorial, I go off task! . I was laughing when you said "oh now I am changing everything" but sometimes its good to go off course because you end up making something even better at times .. ... anything you do is beautiful :) 💟💟💟💟💟💟

WHOOOOHOOOO😂 I JUST ORDERED IT FROM AMAZON!! Thank you!! It kinda feels wrong to pay that much for a book to destroy but I'm learning it's ok. My old book I only paid 4.00$ for because someone had spilled paint on the cover. Long ago I cried when I cut a book....I was raised that was a "leather belt offense" but after a year of watching others do it I one day said....I'm over 50 years old..I'm going to cut that book!!!!! I shook..I cried and I CUT IT!!!!! LOL!!! sounds silly I know!! Confessions of a book butcher..LOLLOL!!!!!

[@paulahammett]

I love that book & of course what you chose to do with this!! #cathysowinghappiness I always share a hello & smile since so many people do not. We are traveling so I have missed a few videos, getting caught up today! We were in a gas station the other day & tornado watch was on..the young man said say travels..and I said thank you..I will say a prayer you guys are safe..and I did..so you never know what your words or how they will effect people.. Thanks so much for sharing..xo from the road..from NE TX going to CA< OR < WA in a 5th wheel rv..woop woop
