One of my greatest joys in life is watching the sunrise in the mornings! And, the laughter of my kids.
Great give-away! I'm crossing my fingers and toes.
One of my greatest joys in life is my little boys anticipation and excitement on Xmas Eve waiting for Santa to come and the way he has to leave milk/cookies for him and a carrot for the reindeers...
It's PRICELESS!!!
Wonderful give-aways...thanks for your generosity and letting us share our thoughts
One of my many joys in life has been my experiences working with the elderly in various capacities-for as much as they thought I was giving them, they have given me tenfold!!! :)Linda K
Love the new look of your blog!!! I'm gonna have to have a word with missy Sarah!!!! One of the greatest joys in my life has been working with my church in a project called Feeding Those that Feed Us that brings food and clothing to the migrant farm workers up and down the state of Cali...something about getting on your knees to help a child put on a pair of brand new sneakers...that puts the world in a whole new perspective. I feel I'm blessed more than the recipients. Cat what a wonderful giveaway both books are wonderful I've had both on my wish list for some time (specially the fairie one!!! of course) Your generous heart is sooo wonderful!
huge hugs

Hello Cat, I love the new look to your blog...its gorgeous. and a giveaway so generous. The greatest Joy in my life is watching my little boy when he is asleep so peaceful, something I thought I would never be was a Mother, I was told at the age of 19 that I would never be able to concieve.he is the greatest joy in my life, my little angel.
Happy Blogaversary!I love the new look - very elegant. One of the greatest joys of my life is sitting around the dinner table talking and laughing with family and friends; I think that's why Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.

My greatest joy is making someone HAPPY when they are SAD. Calling them, making a thoughtful card, going to see them, take them out for the day.Just let them KNOW that someone out there cares...It gives me so much happiness...JoAnn R
One of my greatest joys is my art friends. I love giving also and laughing is another in the top 10. So hard to choose. The look of your blog is so attractive. I know you must be pleased!
Well ok so I had like my own special story of joy...but when I read everyone else's joys I suddenly realized that one of the joys in my life is reading stuff like people have shared here. Their joys are fun to read and I can relate to them too...so knowing others are joyous for these things brings me joy.
Boy is this almost stick you finger down your throat mushy or what!?
edited to add: I moved down to type in the word verification and it is CHUKI...made me LOL
Cat, I love the elegant new look of your blog!
You're so sweet and generous to offer these wonderful books!
One of my greatest joys is being here at the beach and watching the sunset from the deck - these spectacular sights heal my soul!
hugs,
jackie
My grandchildren are the joys of my life. I see my 2 boys come out in their children. Being a grandmother is the best thing ever!
I have taken a class from Susan and loved it. I bet her book rocks.
How wonderful! Love the new look and would love to be entered! :)
Thank you for the opportunity to win something so beautiful. Greatest joy? What isn't?! Breathing, being loved, being able to smile and think and create and develop relationships, loving.Waiting on God, my husband my daughter, myself!

Gorgeous new blog Cat! One of the greatest joys in my life are my online art friends. They have brought me so much love, support, talent, friendship, beauty and encouragement! I truly love each and every one of them! Sending you a huge hug my darling friend! ~Carol

Happy Blogaversary Cat! My children, without a doubt, are my greatest joy. I love seeing them make decisions, learn and grow. This was a great question to ask, Cat.

OMGOSH Cat, how generous and sweet of you!! Ok, one of my greatest joys is that through passing my belief in God on to my children, I've given them strength, compassion and hope ~ all of which makes them the beautiful individuals that they are....I'm so proud of all of them!
Hugs, Karen Ouellette
What a beautiful blog and GENEROUS giveaway!!!
One of the greatest joys in my life was giving birth to my sons. To think that they are now 19, 16 and 13 just blows my mind. And to think that I'm only 28~LOL!!! How do I do it?!?
Happy Blogaversary Cat!!!
One of the greatest joys of my Life are my kids (son, PJ and daughter, Alyson). I waited many years until I was "ready" to have children...and when the time actually came...I couldn't! My heart ached for a baby and finally, after going through H#$$ and out the other side, God gave me my son. The doctors said "no more" but, once again, God decided otherwise and gave me a beautiful baby girl. How lucky can you get?
There ARE many other joys in my Life but I'd have to put this one right at the top of the list. :)

Cat, gorgeous blog! and generous give-away...thanks for the opportunity... ONE of the greatest joys in my life would be the ability and blessing of loving and being loved...in all the ways that entails...
omgosh!!!! please think of me in this giveaway and COUNT ME IN!!!! i've not seen the first book at all!!!! goodness...what a generous sweetie! big ole hugz and much love!!! (and fingers crossed!!!) (i can't cross my eyes cuz that leaves marks...when i walk into stuff lol)
Just wanted to come and say hi! Great eye candy here. One of my greatest joys are my kids! And I love be creative!
Hmmm, this was a "thinker". But when it comes right down to it, my greatest joy is my husband. We've been together 40 years and he still makes me laugh. AND he's a huge supporter of my art. I guess the second joy is PW Forum...I have found a wonderful home of new friends and warm appreciation. I learn something new daily, laugh outloud, and feel a deep kinship.
Smarmy to some - but these things make my heart go "pitty-pat".
Hugs and good luck to the winners...

Joy can be an attitude and a decision. But what gives me joy is being able to create and my 3 kids!

I'm sure you know that my greatest joys in the world are my two precious baby girls! :)
Cat--Your blog's new look is fab! My greatest joy, hands down, is my son. He's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me.

Joy is one of my greatest joys and helping others find thir pure joy.
Happy Blogaversary!
My greatest joy has been my granddaughter. A miracle happened the day she was born, and my life has been so enriched because of it.
One of my greatest joys is seeing the world through the beautiful eyes of my granddaughter...it's full of fairy dust, Halloween chocolate eyeballs and crayons!
Great giveaway! Wonderful! And congratulations on your blog-a-versary! Lynn F.
Cat! what a beautitul new blog design you have! I really enjoyed reading your blog & catching up with you -Congratulations on your upcoming house signing!
What a wonderful Anniversary celebration & giveaway, too. My greatest joy in life is in sharing -- with friends & family & even someone I don't know very well, my time and talents. I love to share, make connections - and I think that is what brings me (and others too) a lot of happiness in this life.

Great Giveaway, Cat!! Many joys in my life; family is the probably the greatest. It is such a blessing to have loved ones to share life's ups and downs, isn't it???
Love your blog!! Joy
What a great giveaway! For my greatest joy, of course my husband and daughters bring me great joy, but I have found that I am happiest when I am doing medical missions work in other countries. I've been to Nigeria for the last 2 summers and am going again in February. I have a new perspective on our culture and what we take for granted here, and have met some wonderful people who are working unbelievably hard just to survive.
Love the new look of your blog, Cat!!!
The greatest joys of my life have been the four retired greyhounds that have come into my life over the last twenty years. They ask for so little, but they give so much. I've extended that joy by volunteering to help more retired greyhounds find their forever homes.
One of my greatest joys in life - and a huge blessing - is to hold my little 8-week-old grandson.
What generous give-aways!
Oh, I also meant to tell you your new blog look is gorgeous.
I really love springtime! I take joy in watching the daffodils blooming and the trees turning green.........................
thanks for asking,
brenda bliss
Happy blogaversary Cat!!! There are so many joys in life...my loving husband and beautiful boys are tops on my list! Your blog looks very nice
One of my greatest joys, is waking up in the morning and Winston, my dog, jumps on the bed and lays his head on my chest for a hug and then wants to know where's his breakfast!!
Hi Cat!! So great to hear from you!!! HAPPY BLOG-A-Versary!!! What a fun giveaway!!
My Sweet Cat! The fact that you, among all the chaos that is your life right now, have asked us all to stop and think of what brings us joy, is one of many joys I am blessed to acknowledge today. Your blog is beauteous and so "you." You know that the most amazing thing in my life is my daughter Eva. And you know what I went through to create her. Watching her fledgling social conscience develop is a gift we give each other and will continue to share with the whole world.
Happy Blogaversary! xoxo
Wow, great new look Cat! My biggest joy in life is spending time with my grandchildren (or the grandbabies as I call them even though most are nowhere near being babies anymore!) We have eight and one on the way and I can't even believe myself how much joy they bring me. I LOVE to listen to them chatter and giggle. They are so precious!
Hi Cat! Thanks for posting over at Gauche Alchemy and sharing our blinkie with your readers.
As for my greatest joys, they tend to be the simple and sensual comforts - new socks, clean sheets, my kid's sticky hugs, hubby's hands, colors and textures... I know that's not one thing - more of a "category" of a lot of things!
Your blog looks amazing, Sweet Cat! I have so many joys in my life and am thankful to live them each and every day! A few that stand out are the connections I make with amazingly talented artists like you, watching the geese gather and take flight from Ellis Lake in the evening (or even hearing them honking overhead when I cannot see them!), hearing my DH walk through the door every night, cuddling with my furry children which now number 4 (cats Figaro, Gabriel, Leopold and Sally!) and having a RAK envelope arrive at just the right moment it was needed! They are simple things, but they truly fill my soul up!
Butterfly Wing Hugs, Tamara
Happy Blogaversary, CAT! One of the greatest joys in my life is having my life. After having cancer last year I try not to take one single moment for granted. Thanks for helping me to count my blessings today! xo-k
Happy, Happy Bloggiversary!!! Milestone, isn't it??
I love the new look of your blog. It's elegant.....perfect.
Aside from talking with any of my three children, now adults...one of my joys is leaving bits and bobs of artwork here and there for people to find....with the hope that it brings THEM joy. Often it's a bookmark or a postcard and will hold a message of hope or inspiration. They never know who left it and I always believe when I leave something that the 'found art' will fall into the hands that it was supposed to and just bless their lives in a small way.
Your gift away books are truly generous and loving. Big hugs to you.

One of my greatest joys is caring for my four legged companions who depend on me and share my life.
One of the greatest joys I have is watching things grow. When you plant seeds and days or weeks later they miraculously appear as little green plants with such potential to grow and flower and produce fruit. It never fails to put a smile on my face.
The greatest joy in my life is when both my sons are with me. It is that perfect moment when I know that both are safe and sound and I have the boundless pleasure of their company.
