Kindness Fortunes ...

I read the sweetest little article about "the Artist of Everyday," Keri Smith. I just loved her adorable ideas on helping kids and adults create magic and beauty from daily life.

We decided to try her "Hidden Fortunes" idea, where you leave little notes in places for people to find. The notes should include little quotes or phrases to make someone feel good or smile.



Here is what you do:
1. Cut a piece of paper (we cut strips from my 4 x 6 index cards because I have stacks!) into little strips, each approximately 1 x 3 inches.
2. Write a fortune or affirmation on each of the slips. Some examples: "You look really nice today," "Someone is thinking about you right now," or "Don't cry because it is over. Smile because it happened."
3. Fold the fortunes and drop them at random wherever you go - we went to Lowes and Walmart and had gobs of fun poking them into the flowers outside and sitting them in platters, bowls and glass pitchers at Walmart! Feel good knowing that someone will find them in the very near future!
