I was reading one of my favourite blogs recently (http://scrapblogmebaby.typepad.com) and Ngaire had posted 100 things that made her happy so I decided to sit down and think about the things that made me happy too. When I sat down and thought about it, I could have easily gone past 100. I truly have so many things to be thankful for. Well here goes......
1. Chai Tea 2. White Chocolate 3. Laughing with my friends 4. Scrapbooking
5. Quilting 6. My kids (well when they aren't arguing that is) 7. A good nights sleep
8. A tidy house (it would make me happy if I had one. Does that still count?) 9. Freshly cut grass
10. The sound of rain on the roof (....these days just the sound of rain in general, I guess)
11. The colour combination of pink and green 12. Angels (Yes! I believe in angels)
13. Fig and Cinnamon Room Mist 14. Fresh bed sheets 15. Sapphires ( Des, are you reading
this?) 16. Rose buds 17. Shabby Chic Furniture 18. Greeting Cards ( not only do I make
heaps, I can't help buying them as well) 19. Stationary, Stationary, Stationary (Look out
Officeworks, here I come!) 20. Ribbon 21. Time out for myself 22. A glass of chilled
wine (well maybe more than one) 23. Memories of my Dad (now you know why I believe in angels)
24. Freshly baked bread (Oh! and the butter dripping from it) 25. My husbands cuddles
26. Spring weather 27. Seeing my kids happy 28. Marshmallow Perfume (Yummy!!!!)
29. Kraft Card stock 30. The smell of vanilla 31. Storage boxes (Funny, because I am the
most disorganised person. I buy them for the look of them and they sit with nothing in them. Do you
think I need counseling?) 32. Snuggling under the Duvet with a good book (sorry Des) on a winters
day. 33. Birds singing 34. Babies laughing uncontrollably 35. Hot Pink gerberas
36. Trees (of any kind) 37. Small dogs 38. Diet Coke 39. LARGE coffee mugs (preferably
filled with coffee)
40. Handbags 41. Soul music 42. Neck massages 43. Sunsets 44. Walking on the
beach 45. Comfortable shoes 46. Being creative 47. "Desperate Housewives"
48. "Brothers and Sisters" 49. "Eli Stone" (now you all know what I do with myself on Monday
nights) 50. Crocheting (although I take forever and a day to do it) 51. Costume Jewelry
(makes me unhappy how I forget to put it on) 52. Journals (..back to the Stationary addiction)
53. Kissing 54. Fresh air 55. Rub ons, Rub Ons, and more Rub ons (can't ever have enough)
56. Fresh Salad 57. Dove Soap 58. Air Conditioned cars 59. Healthy looking plants
(especially if they are in my garden, which is rare, I can assure you) 60. Going to the movies
61. Flanalette PJ's 62. Pretty serviettes 63. Bling (I go by the motto - "I was destined for
great things, but got distracted by something sparkly!" I will blame the bling anyway) 64. Lending
a hand 65. Felt (this stuff is just so versatile) 66. Clothes blowing in the breeze on the
clothes line 67. Clothes dryers (....for when I don't have the time to hang out the clothes)
68. The Internet (having a world of information at my fingertips) 69. Sudoku puzzles
70. Idle chatter 71. Lazy afternoons (???? just trying to remember what these are)
72. Hearing 'Good News' reports on TV 73. Gift wrapping (especially if I am the recipient of a gift
from my gorgeous friend Shana. They are wrapped so beautifully, you don't want to open the present!
I now dub Shana, The Queen of Gift Wrapping!) 74. Dancing (even though I am hopeless at it)
75. Cool breezes on a hot day 76. Watering the garden late in the afternoon 77. Getting my
nails done 78. Hanging out with my girlfriends 79. Butterflies 80. Southern Comfort and
Coke (makes me very happy, if you know what I mean!) 81. The smell of a casserole cooking in a
slow cooker 82. Pottering around the house on my day off 83. Clothes that don't need ironing
(come on ladies. This would have to make anyone happy) 84. Autumn Leaves 85. Reading
my fav blogs 86. Sharing creative ideas 87. Mangoes 88. Baking 89. Cane baskets
(don't ask!) 90. Embroidery on Linen 91. Seersucker tablecloths (reminds me of my
childhood) 92. Queen (.....the band. Reminds me of my teenage years. You don't need to know
more than that) 93. Sprigs of Lavender 94. Quote books 95. Blowing bubbles (I could
spend hours doing this. The kids get bored before I do) 96. Candlelight 97. My DKNY watch
(very materialistic, I know, but it was a Chrissy present from my darling brother) 98. Green tree
frogs (so long as they don't touch me) 99. Cupcakes (just one look at me and you would believe
that I do!) 100. Macadamia Nut Ice cream (....ditto)
I hope that didn't bore you to tears. It is sometimes the little things in life that make the difference.
Till next time, Happy Scrapping.
Sue
