The Happy Day Project: Day Four.

Happy day four!
Who doesn't love a good book?
Surprise someone with one of your favorites today.
Head to your local bookstore (if you still have one), Amazon, or even shop your very own bookshelf.  I love passing on my books.  I love having books passed on to me. If someone I know loved a book, chances are I will too.  As soon as I get a new one, I'll sneak off to bed early, curl up and get lost in it's words.  Dreamy.

Heather from Life Made Lovely created these sweet little bookplates for you to tuck inside the books that you share.  {Click here to download.}

My sweet Halley chose to celebrate her seventh birthday by collecting books for The Joyful Life Library.  It is a project that is near and dear to our family.
Read about the story behind The Joyful Life Library, and consider purchasing a book to donate to one of the participating hospitals through their wish lists.  Send the simple love, comfort and escape that can be found in the pages of a happy little book.

Next up: refresh someone.
happy day

    I just purchased a book through the wish lists for our local children's hospital, thank you so much for sharing! I had no idea that was an option.

    Perfect timing - this AM my sis-in-law pointed me to "Give Them Grace" by Elyse Fitzpatrick on ChristianAudio.com with a code to download it for just about $3! I'll share the code if you or anyone is interested. :) :)
    LOVING this Happy Day Project!!! TY!
