I’ve been working so hard, I almost forgot about September’s Doe Deere’s Box of Delights!
DDBD is a monthly thing we do which allows one lucky reader to win a mystery box full of hand-picked goodies from me. It’s usually girly stuffed wrapped in pretty paper, signed with a note and sealed with a kiss! To enter, all you need to do is answer one question:
What is your biggest GLEE of the moment? What makes you heart do that happy dance?
My answer: Right now I’m really into the thrill of mailing a box to someone I’ve never met! It’s a great way to share GLEE and maybe even lift someone’s spirit when they need it.
You have one week to submit your answer – be sure to post it in comments, not by email – those won’t count! Winner will be picked at random and announced on Monday, September 21. Now go and show me some GLEEeeeeee! :D
My biggest glee of the moment, regardless of if I’m 15 years late, is Sailor Moon.
It’s dorky, I know. But I’m happy with being dorky. ^_^
Having a few moments to myself is my biggest GLEE right now. I’m so insanely stressed and busy and constantly running from thing to thing because of school and the hectic schedule I set myself up with this semester that having an hour or two to myself to take a relaxing bath, read a book, catch up on blogs, or bake super colorful-cute cupcakes is a blessing.

It makes me so much happier and ready to deal with the rest of it as it comes.
I’m feeling particular gleeful at the moment =)
I start my final year of university in a few days and this is the first year I’ve felt happy to be going back. I found it really difficult to find new friends and settle in a new city but this year I feel like I’ve finally done that. I’m moving into a new house with some great people and for the first time in ages I’m feeling really confident and excited to see what the future holds. So that’s whats making me get that twisting happy feeling in my stomach right now!! Wish me luck for the future!!
My heart races at the though of my writing. Being 16, finding the time to write is like trying to nail jello to a tree.
As of late though, I’ve been staying up until the wee hours writing. Futuristic short stories, poems about boys, and working on my first full length manuscipt make me giggle with gee!
It’s the best feeling to look up at the clock, see that it’s midnight, then look up again what feels like only minutes later and see that it’s 3 AM.
My glee.
This wasn’t hard to think of at all. I’ve gone through a few rough times lately, with being back-stabbed by a best friend and loosing my dad last year. So this probably wouldn’t mean all that much to other people but it’s just something that’s made me happier than I’ve been in a long time.
It’s going to sound sappy and ridiculous but I don’t really mind. I’ve recently started talking to this amazing guy that goes to my school on MSN. He’s the sweetest, nicest guy you’ll ever meet. Not to mention he’s gorgeous. My day has been wonderful all because he smiled at me this morning. Bear in mind, I’m not the type of girl to get all mushy and stuff about a guy. I’m rather independant. But ever since he gave me that smile(this breath-taking, heart-stopping, almost nervous smile)I haven’t been able to stop bouncing around and having little moments where I completely space out with this goofy grin on my face, just thinking of him. My glee, in short, is him. It may not turn into anything but for now, it’s just what I need;; a little sparkle of glee I stumbled upon in the dark. :)
right now it’s definitely sneaking a bottle of whiskey into a midnight showing of Purple Rain and then being obnoxious on the bus/going over to the house of people I don’t know for homebrewed beer. Like I did the other night.
My glee right now is my dog. I recently read a book about his breed and the problems they have when they are old. My dog is very old, 14 in fact. Everytime I see his face I squee. Huge brown eyes looking up at me. He is blind now but still as pleasant and playful as he always was.
Harley is my glee :)
My glee right now is down-right easy, just being in love. I love being in love with someone. The person don’t know it of course but it is so awesome to have a million wonderfull, pink, glittery bubbles in my stomach when I see this person. And everything seems so bright and glittery since this amazing person is alive. It make me wanna scream of joy. As said; I love being in love.
The fact that although is just moved to Montreal; 4000 kilometers away from the guy i am increadibly in love with, I am having loads of fun at university and dancing everyday to get ready to audition for dance companies all over. Plus I get frequent texts and messages from him telling me he loves me and reminding me to have fun and to not be afraid of anything.
He is amazing, Montreal is amazing, this season is amazing. I am in love with everything.
my biggest current glee is for household wares. I’m beyond obsessed with cute plates, bowls, cutlery, appliances, upholstery, furniture, and so much more, especially in darling colors like off-white, robin’s egg blue, pastel pink, and seafoam green. It puts this little flutter in my heart, makes me want to be someone’s wifey for a day, or maybe bake pies and plant flowers.
I love buying handmade goods by creative artists on etsy.com. My absolute fav store right now is elsiecake on etsy.
My biggest GLEE moment right now? Sharing a bed with someone, even if it’s in a platonic way. I love feeling safe and cuddling, especially when that someone would have to be my boyfriend. It’s nice drifting off to sleep knowing someone is there and will take care of you. Or, better yet, that you can take care of. Silly, I know, but I adore it.
My glees are completely random for the most part but my most recent glees has been having my best friend come visit from Africa on my b’day!! Having all my loved ones around me make me feel ridiculouly happy!
My biggest GLEE right now…the fact that fall & halloween time is fast approaching. I just noticed on my drive to CT this weekend for a yoga workshop that the leaves are starting to change colors. This made me very happy. Fall/Autumn is definitely my favorite season of the year. I love the weather, watching leaves change color, the smell of apple cider in the air, the crisp smell of leaves falling to the ground etc.. I also LOVE Halloween. It’s always been my favorite holiday since I was a little child. I’m sure my birthday being near Halloween had something to do with it too. A lot of my birthday parties growing up had a Halloween theme. My mom even created a “pin the nose on the jack-o’-lantern” game. A couple days ago I started planning my Halloween events for the month of October and it excites me to no end. I already have my annual birthday/halloween trip to Salem, MA planned, a trip to Six Flags for Fright Fest and trips to haunted hay rides, mazes, haunted houses and corn fields. Now I just have to decide what my costume will be this year.
My HUGE glee of the moment is my internship at an amazing architectural office located in a picturesque neo-classical building at the most romantic,most gleeful,most “now” street of Athens!!!
It’s the perfect street for a promenade (yeap! no vehicles allowed!) and right next to the new Museum of Acropolis…an architectural miracle all in itself…so gleefully inspiring!!!!
***having a glee-rgasm***
Nerdy as it may sound, my biggest GLEE is being back at university and working on my undergraduate thesis. I’m doing what I love, and working towards a career that I love, and I don’t know what could be more happy-making! Plus, I get to dress up in my best library clothes every day ;)
my moment of glee is when i’m at an art gallery and i’m digging through shelves and shelves of art reproductions and i find that one piece that takes me breath away. in an instant i know exactly where i want to hang it in my home and i can see it there already- and it only costs $30! ahhhh… it may not be the original – but it still makes my heart jump with glee!
My biggest GLEE of the moment is that I just got a confirmation email for a “lucky pack” I ordered from a Lolita brand site :)
I’ve never ordered anything directly from them before – last year, the site was so trafficked when the Lucky packs were released, the system accidentally sent two orders so the company cancelled my order.
But this year I’m actually getting one, and it’s arriving this week! I am so terribly excited, I’m jumping up and down! Best part is, I’ll be getting it just in time for my birthday, so I’ll be able to wear my new clothes then!
Right now, Glee the show! <3 and buying a new piece of jewelry or clothing. (:
What makes me full of glee at the moment is that tickets for one of my favourite bands is released next monday, so I’m really happy ^^
My biggest glee right now is shopping for furniture. I just moved to California so I have been having a blast looking for little housewears to add to each room.
I’ve also recently been hooked to the show Glee, so that makes me pretty happy too! haha
My biggest glee is that I finally have a place of my own to decorate to my heart’s content without worry about where to put stuff.
It sort of looks like a mid-60s curio shop/modern new-age hybrid. I have an old looking record player (you might be convinced it was vintage except for the digital readout, haha) sitting on top of a 1940s wood table with Victorian-esque cubes with a cream and black velvet scroll design in the living room, for example.
My kitchen has avocado green walls and countertops, and I balanced that with red and stainless steel appliances and containers, and a sweet 50s diner inspired clock on the wall, it looks just like a little malt shop!
Independence Day came early for me this year, and I love it! =)
My biggest GLEE right now? The anticipation of going to a big band concert with my friends and their children in a couple weeks! We’re all really looking forward to having a good time and listening to some great moment. I honestly can’t wait!!!
My mom is helping me make a 1940s-inspired dress, and it looks bangin’ on me. GLEE!
The moment I realized I didn’t have to stay at my prestigious school and get a well paying job in order to be happy. I dropped out and happily relocated to Japan where spending my days with children (and making bento boxes!!) gives me GLEE! :)
omg what a question! XD im in a constant GLEE-changing phase XD
but RIGHT NOW i go crazy everytime i see anyone with platinum/white hair color :O might be because im overly bored of having black dyed hair or something <.<
At the moment my absolute GLEE is making birthday cards, because a lot of my friends are going to have birthday soon. I love to think of something that means something to them, for example, I wrote a little program on the back of a postcard for my favourite techie, and a friend who is a bit down at the moment will receive a colourful card full of GLEE.
My biggest glee is when I get the creative spark to start another project! I’ve got one in its infancy right now and it makes me want to spontaneously combust like a huge sequin and glitter-filled pinata!
My Greatest Glee at the moment is a competition being run at the moment called New Zealands Next Top Cat Model, I have been campaigning for a beautiful kitty called Poppy, she is such a darling cat and my heart does a little flutter of delight everytime I come across her! :D
http://www.topcatmodel.co.nz/ Pleaaaaaase vote for Poppy if you have the time :D
At the moment, my biggest GLEE is the university stuff. I know it’s different from all the other years of school, but I still love to decorate my own notebooks, make my pencil cases and get new coloring pens.
Kisses from Lisbon ;D
My current GLEE is the anticipation of fall!! There’s so much to look forward to; carnivals, Renaissance fest, crisp, cool air, leaves changing colors, and Halloween haunts!!! And of course there’s pumpkin pie… yummeh!
aaah.
my glee of the moment?
too many things to choose from :(
but ive got to say the fact that halloween is fast approaching !
outrageous rainbow brite makeup here I come :D
and im currently extremely gleeful after the free matt and kim show last night, it was amazing even if my foot got trampled on a few times/I couldn’t see {haha, one of the problems with being 5 foot !}
im so full of glee right now I feel like spinning, which is exactly what i’ll do :D
my biggest glee is that i’m turning 20 years old on sep 23 and i’m planning a celebration weekend yayy everything from a fancy dinner with family and friends to a clubbing night and a picnic!!!
I have started a photography project, 365 days of images created using my strobe and my camera and a multitude of subjects. I am filled with said GLEE when I set up my equipment, as a capture images, and then when I load them on to my computer to perfect them.
I also glean glee from my family. My husband is such a great guy, always doing his best for us. And my children are so spirited and full of independent thought.
I am quite gleeful at this time!!!
- Jess
I am full of GLEE because I got engaged Labor Day weekend!!! =D
I am really excited at the moment about moving into my house with my friends at uni…although one person dropped out we have managed to get stuff sorted…I am so scared of sorting stuff like bills- I feel almost too young to be an “adult” (I am nearly 20!) but it’s an exciting kind of scary :)
this is the first year that i get to go to the fashion shows at bryant park and i get excited and nervous every time i take my seat!
When I reach that point where the song I’m working on all just comes together– whether it’s a bar or the whole thing, just that moment where you *know* your formula’s all funky and working…oh, man, this is why I love music so much. C: I want to compose now!
I have many things that bring me glee but right now my biggest one is that my sister surprised us with a visit home. She lives in Arizona while we are in South Dakota, and I hadnt seen her for over 4 months, I missed her so much!:3
At the moment? Planning birthday surprises. I just love making other people happy. I have a couple of birthdays coming up and I get so excited about the plans that I can’t sleep. Dorky, I know.
What makes me so giddy and gleeful is the future!! Not only is fall coming up, which is one of my favorite times of the year (the brightly colored leaves! The strong scents of cinnamon and chimney smoke! Halloween!!) but I’m also co-writing-producing-directing-and-starring in a show with my best friend! We’ve only put out trailers but we’ve had over 100 views on each video so far! It’s going to be a dreamy comedy starring girls who just want to go have surreal, crazy adventures and not have to worry about silly things like boys and office jobs. We’re getting more and more recognition and acclaim and I’m pretty sure that soon we will take off!!
My biggest glee right now is that my boyfriend and I had the marriage talk, and it went well! He and I have been together off an on for 3 years (on for the last year and a half), and he is someone who is very slow to commit. He has also always given off the impression that he has no intention of ever getting married.
Long story short, he said he thinks that the idea of us getting married one day sounds appealing and it is a possibility in the future. While it definitely is not a proposal, it means that there is room for growth! That’s something I was starting to give up on. Now I at least have some hope.
My biggest GLEE moments!
I work as a fairy-tale party performer for children’s birthday parties. (http://www.dreamstarparties.com) Usually I play Disney’s Cinderella, but sometimes I do other characters such as a Fairy Princess. I’ll do a magic show, make balloon animals, and paint faces for little girls dressed as princesses.
Yesterday I was hired as a Fairy Princess for a 3-year-old’s fairy birthday. I get to wear a pink poofy dress, pastel fairy wings, and lots and lots of glitter. I taught the little girls in fairy wings a fairy dance using simple ballet moves. It’s really gleeful to play pretend again. It’s even more gleeful to engage children in the magic of imagination. I love my job. I don’t think there are many others where I can pretend to be a princess or a fairy and twirl around. Watching little girls smile, laugh and flap their wings is a pretty big reward, too :)
my biggest glee right now is DEFINITELY my new job… i had been working in a bar and the boss wasn’t stoked when i changed my hair and wore “edgy” clothes.
i just got a job at a different bar. i asked about hiding my tattoos and “normal” hair color to which the boss responded “BE YOURSELF! we want you to be your own individual!”
it feels amazing to find a place that wants you to be who you are and not conform :)
This is harder than I thought it would be …
My biggest GLEE at the moment is writing and receiving letters, cards and packages <3
Everytime I get a colourful letter from one of my penpals I feel all joyful and excited. I'm always trying to write extra beautiful letters with fine paper and stickers and little presents inside. And I always hope my penfriends get as happy about my letters as I do about theirs :) Gives me a warm feeling inside.
Greetings from Austria.
The new season of House, M.D.’s starting next week! GLEE!
lol
What is your biggest GLEE of the moment? What makes you heart do that happy dance?
OMG!!! My biggest GLEE of the moment is that my hamster had babies!!!!!!!

Glee: Planning a visit to a friend I haven’t seen for ages. We’re dancing, catching up, drinking wine, getting high on caffeine and life. And it’s on Halloween, so we’re planning costumes; another glee! Costume planning: The White Queen of Narnia. Getting the make-up (magic dusts, of course!), clothes, shoes. The whole process of planning it all, gathering friends for costume-sewing nights in. The fits of laughter and glee throughout. The challenge of learning Russian.
I’m usually not one who goes crazy over a pair of shoes, but I have made one very special exception. I saw & immediately went out to get this pair of ankle boots:
