Hi all! How's your week going so far? I'm currently sipping coffee and eating chocolate cake, so I can't complain. And there's a film festival going on in Philly right now. Tonight I'm seeing my third film, with one more tomorrow night. Fun!
I have something super cute to share with you guys. And maybe I'm excited because I love a good pocket-sized sketchbook. I can't get enough of 'em! (Even though I can't seem to keep up with sketching.) But this one has a NICE twist.
Megabolt, a non-profit organization that works to promote positive ideas through every day life, has launched a new project. They are selling these really adorable little sketchbooks, and for each one purchased, one is given to a child in the hospital. But here's the best part:
"Every book is hand numbered so after you've bought your book you will be able to go www.megabolt.org and track where your book goes and even see the child's name who you've given your book to!
It doesn't stop there though...After the child has completed his or her sketchbook we will be archiving their books on our website so you can digitally flip through the child's book."
How fantastic is that?! So I had to go ahead and buy one for myself. And I can't wait to check out what the kids do with their sketchbooks! What a neat project, right? Click here to learn more about the awesomeness that is Megabolt.

I found your blog today, and absolutely love it. I've been on this journey lately (or maybe for the past 27 years of my life?) to live a happier, more fulfilling life, and to think positively, and this site has been the perfect read. Thank you for sharing your ideas on living a nicer life.
I'm doing a random act of kindness and making cards for the folks I live near! :)
Cheers.
I just wanted to thank you for your blog; it's a great reminder to do what we're all supposed to do, but often don't. Be nice.
I think I'll get one of these sketchbooks to do Zentangle on the go.
And, your drawings on your other blog are lovely. Nice work!
Love this idea, and when I went to their site it mentioned that they're coming out with a photography book with a similar format and same type of project. Very awesome! I totally love how NICE your blog is and support the initiative to be proactively nice. :o)
Thanks for sharing!

P.S. I'm a bit newer to blogging but I was happy to post the badge at my little home on the web.
