Random acts of kindness

I have a stack of AARP Bulletins.  They come in and pile themselves up on a shelf and mock me when I walk by.  I grabbed one the other day while waiting for the lottery numbers to come up on my comptuer (nothing).  The issue is May 2016.  Yes, I'm a bit behind.  Page 42 has a headline in red:  Random Acts of Kindness.  I love random acts of kindess.  The article is about Tim Holmes and Garret Garrels who started "Random Gifts of Art". 

This year my friend Betsy Doan, Mudpuppy Studios, a wonderful ceramist introduced me to Flood the Streets with Art.  It's a national movement where artists leave art all over on Black Friday instead of shopping.  Its a big movement and I love it, enjoyed spreading my art and watched as some people found it.  You put a little note with it explaining it's free art for them.  Brings instant smiles.  I'm a heart person, but didn't have many of metal and glass hearts left so I sewed some small denium ones as pin cushions.  Smiles. 

Bob was big on Random Acts of Kindness, usually paying for someone's meal or the people in line behind him at Starbucks.  I try to keep up his random acts and with Betsy's introduction to FLood the Streets with Art, I can do my own randam acts.  Pretty cool.

I love this idea - and I really love the denim hearts, Lottie. When I saw you and Betsy were doing it, I really wished I could break OUT of retail for a day and join you. (But what we do is important too, so I shared deals and giveaways in the store instead) Keep up the giving of smiles!!! : )

    Someone said I was delusional.  I nearly fell off my unicorn.
