Happy Blog Award

My friend Julie gave me a "Happy Blog Award" because (she says) my blog makes her happy. Thanks Julie, it just so happens that your blog makes me happy too! Anyway, when you get a "Happy Blog Award", you are supposed to list 10 things that make you happy and then pass the award on to others! So here goes...

What makes me happy:

1) My family! My husband and little girls are just the best, plus my parents and siblings are fab!

2) "Making stuff" - it's just so satisfying!

3) Decorating! That feeling when everything starts coming together - you can't beat it. I'm such a home body, so I love it when my house feels right!

4) Shopping, especially for kid's clothes! Nothing makes me happier than finding a deal on some matching smocked dresses.

5) Fall! I love the crisp air, school supplies, football games, the coming holidays, etc.! It's just so promising!

6) A day in Disney World - enough said.

7) Watching History Channel all day. I don't talk about this side of me much on the blog, but I have a very deep love of history.

8) Etsy - seriously!

9) Looking through a design magazine with my mom or a friend - always leads to good conversation and brain storming!

10) Lunch dates and boutique-ing - I don't do this often enough!

(Do I have to stop at 10? I can think of so many more things... babies, weddings, kittens, cookies, clean sheets, chick flicks, long showers, pedicures, and on and on....!)

Wow - thanks God for giving me so many happy things in my life! And now for my "Happy Blog Award" nominees...

I choose all the girls on my blog roll:
Alina, Allison, Katie, Kelly, Kristy, Mom, and Molly

Now go post some happy stuff ladies!
