Tonight…and maybe it’s because it’s late and I’m a little fuzzy in the head…tonight I created a NEW FaceBook group. Random Acts of Art. Because I could.
And you’re ALL invited to join.
Back in February, Valentine’s Day to be exact, I discovered how much fun it was to hide little arty tokens out and about in the community. In the spirit of the holiday I painted hearts on little rocks. I photographed the ‘hides’ and posted the photos here. It was such an adrenalin rush I decided to do it every week. I called it RANDOM ACTS OF ART. I posted my weekly ‘hides’ every Wednesday. I got a blog hop of sorts going but every week there were glitches with the link. And people forgot. And I began getting tired of the every Wednesday routine.
So tonight I did some thinking, THINKING…imagine that, and I thought hmmm…SIMPLIFY.
So I did. No blog to write. No schedule to keep. Just hide a little something when you feel like it and post a picture and description on the FaceBook group. If you do blog about it, share the link. Easy-peasy, right?
And it doesn’t have to be art. It can be words of encouragement tucked into a book at the library. Or rolled into a scroll, tied with a ribbon and left in a cafe. It can be whatever you want it to be…as long as makes someone smile.
And I guarantee doing this will make you smile too. Because it feels good.
So come on over and join the group. And tell your friends. This is a movement, remember…we’re spreading the luvvv, changing the world one arty token at a time.

Is it Wednesday already? Is it really??? OMG, I’m hyperventilating. Spinning in circles. Because…it’s time once again for RANDOM ACTS OF ART!!!
Random acts of feeling good. Spirit lifting. Day making. Love littering. Random Random RANDOM ACTS OF ART!
YAY!!!
So here’s RAA(W for Wednesday) in a nutshell. First, make something. Anything. We’ve had people leave mini-paintings, painted rocks, posters with feel good rip-off tags. Book marks. Notes of encouragement rolled up in little bitty scrolls. Doesn’t matter what you make, just so long as you put some love into it.
Then hide it some place where it is sure to be found. And walk away. Just let. it. go. But before you do….take a photo. If you’re a blogger, write a post and join the Wednesday blog hop. The directions are down below where it says you are next. If you don’t have a blog, send me the photo and the details so I can add it to next week’s post.
People have hidden things all over the world. There are rocks hidden in the Brisbane airport. On trails in the Australian bush. In a movie theater in Norway. All sorts of hiding spots in the US. New Zeeland. The UK.
In fact, we are going to take over the world with LOVE. With art. With the joy that comes from leaving little treasures to brighten some stranger’s day.
Because it feels sooooo good.
Ah, but enough talking. Enough of that now. Bring on the goods. Show me the RAAW.
Hmmm… first, a confession. From moi. Seems I was a bit of a slacker this week. Only pulled off two hides.
This one was in a tree at the bank. A perfect little nest, don’t you think? And if we can melt a banker’s heart the world will be a better place.
Keeping with the tree theme, this one is nestled among the roots at the base of a birch in front of the health food store.
So now it’s your turn. Enter the link to your post like I explained above. You can enter it any time before 11:59 PM Saturday, Pacific time. So it’s not too late to put something together and join the party. YOU HAVE UNTIL SATURDAY. Oh wait, I said that already. Just checking to see if you were paying attention.
Let’s make this a movement. Help me spread the word. Tell your friends. Like it on FaceBook. Get your kids involved. Let’s spread the luvvv throughout the world.
One arty token at a time.
