Do you have a hobby or passion that makes you happy, and have you shared that passion with friends and family? Surprisingly, many of us tend to keep these sort of things to ourselves. II was recently asked by Nutella to write about something that I am passionate about, and I shared my passion for making homemade cards and sending handwritten notes to friends – something that is sadly becoming a thing of the past. That prompted me to invite my sister-in-law over one day last week, to share my passion for making homemade cards.
Share what makes you happy.
I invited my sister-in-law over and pulled out a bunch of my scrapbooking and cardmaking supplies for an afternoon of creative fun. I shake my head in bewilderment realizing that in the 20+ years of knowing each other, we’ve never really spent an afternoon doing crafts together.
Chrishelle was quick to say that she doesn’t share my creative gene, but once we got started she surprised us both. I think her cards turned out even better than my own.
That afternoon was not just about the card crafting though. It was also a chance for us to get caught up with each others lives, laugh at each other and just have fun. It was also a chance for me to share another of my other favorite things with Chrishelle. All that crafting worked up an appetite for some Nutella.
I am so glad I shared my passion for paper crafts with Chrishelle, and have a feeling there are many more creative afternoons in our future. When is the last time you shared what makes you happy with a friend?

I forgot what I was going to say. I was distracted by Nutella… I think I need to go grocery shopping… 🙂 I love me some Nutella!
That’s such a fun activity to do together, and Nutella is the perfect cap on the day. It’s so good!
I love that you did it together. It’s more fun to craft together and I love homemade cards! My teen, btw, thinks Nutella makes everything better, always. 😉
Nutella is pretty good at making happiness. When my kids are getting along and we can all enjoy something together….that puts the biggest smile on my face.
I love doing projects or crafts with friends. The Nutella is awesome on whole wheat bread.
That is great you had your sister in law over for a fun crafty afternoon! Nothing better than girl time 😉
We love Nutella on toast with peanut butter. I used to do a lot of crafts when the Kids were younger. I even made candles for a while.
Hmm… what makes me happy? I guess it’s being able to help my patients be better everyday. 🙂
Crafting with others is so much fun. It is so wonderful keeping busy and having fun with friends and family.
Great job of showing crafts. I love you showed someone else with you doing them.
