🌱 None of us have green thumbs.
We’ve killed bamboo. We’ve over-seeded pots.

And somehow—these babies are growing. 🌼

At the last Merriment Mixer, we decorated plant pots, filled them with wildflower seeds, and sent them home.

And guess what?
Every single one is sprouting. Even the ones that didn’t get watered.
(Pretty sure the pots were magic.)

Nancy won the disco ball planter. We all won a good day. 💖

This was the last in-person Mixer for now, but you can still join us from anywhere 🌍 for our virtual Mixers each month.

Or come hang out in Baltimore at the next Operation Merriment event.

PS -Two of our Mixer attendees are officially 😍 dating now. So I’m also a Merriment Matchmaker.

You don’t have to earn your rest.
You don’t have to justify delight.
You’re allowed to disrupt the pressure to perform and choose something softer instead.

💥 This is not indulgence.
This is a sacred interruption.

And you get to decide when enough is enough.

💛 Pocket-sized joy delivery! 💛

Apparently, if you squish self-love, whimsy, and a rainbow closet into a 2-inch shell, this is what pops out.

I give you: Polly Pop-It-and-Live-Your-Truth Pocket. 🪞

She comes with 🪄 sticker books, extra glitter, backup snacks, and the unwavering belief that your weirdness is worth celebrating.

I will 100% be living in this compact now. Leave messages at the rainbow dresser. 🌈💌

👀 This mission was EYE-conic.

From crafting cyclopses and monster lashes to googly-fying trees, poles, and posters—we took over Baltimore with a blink and a giggle.

👁️ Shoutout to Sheri for going full Everything, Everywhere, All At Once energy with her third eye 👏
🎨 Creative chaos inside the library.
🚶‍♀️ Street silliness outside.
👓 Everyone went home with goofy glasses.
📬 Then a surprise postcard in the mail — because joy should keep going.

Operation Merriment = Feel Good Guerrilla Art 💖

And we do this every month.

🎲 Want more magic in your life?

📅 Schedule it. Seriously.

@VibrantBadass shares how she balances fun + planning with what she calls “structured unstructure.”

It’s not about winging it or losing control. It’s about carving out time to ask:

💬 “What do I feel like doing right now?”
🧠 This simple practice can shift your whole relationship to joy.

🌈 What is Merriment Art?

I believe joy is a form of rebellion—and interactive art helps people break out of autopilot.
Last year, I became the Merriment + Art Director for Hampden Highlights and created:

🍭 80 giant popsicle sculptures
💌 A love letter swap inside a giant tinsel mailbox
🌈 A rainbow wishing pole
🧵 A fabric garland strung across fire escapes
🎨 Sidewalk surprises that made people stop and smile

It was pure magic.
This year, we’re going even bigger—with new installations, rainbow rituals, and secret surprises.
✨ Let’s make Baltimore brighter—together.

📅 June 7 | Hampden Highlights Festival
📍 Hampden, Baltimore
