Today while thinking of things I am thankful for I started thinking about smiles and what a wonderful thing they are and how they can create a good vibe for anyone and how I feel when I see someone smile. So I went through a few of my 26000 photos and quickly found some that make me smile. There are many more and this is just a smattering, Wonder if you know any of these people. If you do, please comment and tell us what you like about smiles and you may be getting a little surprise from me in December. It makes me smile to know you are reading my blog friends.
If you know someone here please tell them because of their beautiful smile they made my blog. Bunny Sisters, I could not find a great photo of you! So many people got left out but if you send me a happy photo I will post it!

I'm thankful for my sweet grandson smile that wakes me each morning. You see he lives with us & I tend him everyday. He is the sweetest most loving little guy. I am so blessed to see his smile first thing in the morning cause it sets my day off with a happy smiling face for others to see.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I needed this today. Many beautiful smiles. I will watch for them today. Your smiles included, family, friends, students, and fellow instructors like sisters Roberta Horton and Mary Mashuta.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary Lou, for ALL the great smiles in your post today ;-}
ReplyDeleteAlthough I don't know anyone personally, I feel as though I know you, your family and your quilting friends through your blog. Sharing all those happy smiles is the best gift you could give us for Thanksgiving.
Your happy smile, and your husband's happy smile are my favorites, except for that cute little baby!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family ;-}
What a great way to start my day, seeing all these beautiful smiles! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bunch of smiles! I have a habit of looking at the people next to me at a stoplight and if we make eye contact, I smile. More often than not, I get a smile back! Ronda (in Iowa) phonygal@msn.com
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Brightened up my morning.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in sunday school they told us how a smile can make someone's day and since then, I always remember to smile at people I pass every day. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.

Oh, I see you, Queen Elizabeth, Captain Kangaroo, Minnie Pearl, some of your family, many famous quilting teachers, so many happy quilters, and a LOT of wonderful smiles! I don't know anyone in the pictures personally but am glad to have popped in today to enjoy all of the good vibrations.
ReplyDeleteThis post has certainly boosted the positive Karma for the planet!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and to all!
Hugs!
Great smiling photos Mary Lou, love the first photo of the painting. She looks like she is quite a gal. Proud to be able to recognize some of those smiling ladies and call them friend. Great family ohotos also, they all bring a smile to my face. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteoh thank you so much for all these wonderful smilies! It is that SAD time of year with the long gray days and early darkness coming. Your blog posts always give me a big boost...thank you and enjoy your Holiday hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteI recognized quite a few faces in the photos, beginning with your very own smiling face! Also Queen Elizabeth, must be your daughter as she looks just like you, Captain Kangaroo (childhood favorite,) Minnie Pearl, your son, your precious Mark, sisters Roberta and Mary, neighbor Connie I think, Pat Sloan.....many smiles. A quote from Mother Teresa is, "We may never know all the good that a simple smile can do." And I also like this one: Use your smile to change the world. Don't let the world change your smile.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mile of smiles! My favs are you & your family. Twinkling eyes mean happy souls. Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful post! I was surprised at how many people I recognized. I'll send you a picture that always makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteI see some of the ladies that I met in your class that I took in September at the Utah Quilt Guild's Quilt Fest! That was such a fun class.
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog. It always makes me smile. I loved sharing a quilting week with you at Cedar Lakes 2 years ago. I pray our paths will cross again!

I'm liking how you keep adding pictures to this post..a new surprising smile almost every day.
ReplyDeleteCaptain Kangaroo and the Queen! Now that combination alone encourages a big smile! Thank you for the good cheer. Barbara
ReplyDeleteIt makes me smile when my Mom (Mary Graves) smiles every time she talks about taking a class from you.
