10 things to be HAPPY about!!

Is it just me or has this week been a little bit "ugh" for anyone else?  I started this blog post by bitching about everything that is sucking the life out of me this week (photoshop, computers, technology), but then thought WHY in the world would ANYONE want to read that, I mean, seriously, I have WAY too much to be happy about!!!

Here's a list of 10 things I'm happy about today!!

1. Twinkie Chan's crochet pattern book is coming MY way once it's released next month!

CAN'T wait!!

2. Body wash that smells like vanilla cupcakes for $3.99!

I grabbed the body wash, the body creme, AND the body mist... when I walked into Darlings school last week a little boy kept yelling "I smell marshmallows, I smell marshmallows", so I buried his face into my armpit and yelled "it's vanilla cupcake you DORK!"

3. I'm running again and I feel GREAT!  I know it sucks to get going but when it's over I am ALWAYS glad i did it!!

4. I have this GREAT little girl in my life!

I can't imagine my life without my daughter, it's amazing how you don't know what you're missing till you have it!

5. I just (Oct 10th) celebrated 2 wonderful years with my Mr.

What is making you happy today?

and let's not forget...

a little plug about my BABY/KID HAT DRIVE

As most of you know, my daughter was adopted from China and I left a little piece of my heart there.  I'm collecting hats to keep the children and babies warm in the winter.  Many live in orphanages that are without heat.

1. make a baby hat, toddler hat, or kid sized hat 

(you can take the non-crafty way out and buy one if you must)

2. Send to:
